Also in Lawrence Tori and Glory got their first Rally Novice legs. Then at the national Jordi got an extra leg and Doc finished his title. Glory got her second leg and I failed Tori by going past a sign.

Then Choice and Jordi made the cut in their large futurity classes and Doc placed 3rd in the 15-18 month class.

At the national Hudson placed 3rd in the open brindle class. In the veteran bitch 8+ class we had 4 of the 9 entries in the class. Dyna and Sabre who are almost 10 and Tori and kate who are 8 1/2 years old. Sabre, Dyan and kate all made the cut and Sabre placed 3rd and kate placed 4th. Then Sabre and Dyna won the brace class for the 5th time at the national out of 6 times shown there. The other time they took 2nd. Glory made the cut in BOB till the final cut.
