Thoughts on Trialing...

I feel like I should warn you this is a ramble about random agility things...

I've been thinking recently about the agility trialing we've done and how Trixie and I aren't really in the highest levels of any venues even though we trial all the time, how can we get a MACh/PACh, PDCh, or even a C-ATCh if we do so many different venues? Well we Q pretty frequently but it will take forever for us to get just one of these if we do all these different venues so I think I've decided to focus on AKC agility and also do the local USDAA's - but no one ring Barto trials, I've said never again to 13 hour days!!! We'll do some CPE after/if we get a PACh this year because there's no sense in getting extra PAChs because the only reason we're in preferred is for nationals...I've also been thinking about our PDCh goal for this year... it seems unlikely not because I don't think we're capable of it but you need a tournament relay Q and there will be like one or two chances to get it and who knows if we'll even be able to do those trials...honestly I think I should aim for us to be in PIII in everything and Lv 5 in CPE instead of the PDCh and be happy if we get it, hopefully there will be plenty of USDAA trials though because they're so much fun! As of now there's only one trial scheduled for the summer but I hope more go up...
