Spirit having a great time Lure Coursing!

Here comes Spirit moving in for score!
She goes for it!



She gets it!!!! Is she having fun or what!

Spirit has run in 5 trials now and she has earned her SC title and a total of 8 points.
Each trial entered there were split stakes and multiple top 20 dogs competing in those stakes. She has placed in the top 5 each of those days!
Way to go Spirit! We are proud of you!
Thanks to Mike for these great photos taken on Sunday!

Spirit earns 5 points towards her championship


This was Spirits second weekend participating in the open class and it was a tough weekend to course. Being the end of the year, all of the top coursing dogs in this area were out trying to get some of the last available points for the year.
Spirit, did not disappoint us. She continued to run well, straight on the line and full force enthusiasm.
On Saturday she tied for 2-3 and won her run-off to go 2nd place and earn another 3 points.
On Sunday she tied for 3-4 and again won her run-off to go 3rd for an additional 2 points.
She now has 8 singles towards her Field Championship title.
We will be running again next weekend as that is the last trial in this area for some time.
Wish her luck. Here are some good photos of her that Mike took. Thanks Mike!
Notice the tongue ! I am afraid she will bite it off!More photos in the web album:

Spirit earns her JC title and places in her first Trial!!

Spirit had a great week!

This little red girl is a true pistol!!!
She easily earned her Junior Coursing (JC) title and moved up to the open class on Sunday. What an exciting day. -- She tied for first place after the second run. The run-off was close and she ended up in second (however I have to say that that was her 4th run of the day and her 7th run of the weekend!!)
I can't wait to see what this girl will do in the future! She is running straight on the line and full of enthusiasm! She ended up earning 3 pts. towards her championship title. Not bad for her first time out!
Way to Go Spirit!!!! We are proud of you!
