Rally Obedience competition in Tagadi. It is a really nice place in summer to compete!
Judge Lauma Zutere (from Latvia). We were in grade 2 (RK2).
1st course. we got deductions from 4 different signs. Firstly for in the first sign, she hesitate to come to stand from sit (-3p) (I would not maybe gibe -3 for this..). Secondly, in turn, the angle was too big (-1p) and then small hesitation to sit (-1p). Thirdly, at 8th sign (turning to right), she only sit for 1 second. That cost us -10p. And forth was at the last sign, where Minnie was starting to be confused for lying down. Judge only gave us -3, I would have taken away more points (I even thought that it would be -10 for us). I would have also deducted points from one sign (-3). So I think I would have gotten very similar end result. I really liked how Minnie was focused on me, and did not let her to be disturbed! Our result was 82 points and this was actually worth 2nd place :)
