Leagues & Qualifying

I didn’t quite get the points I wanted from the EMDAC show. Dylan needed to be top-8 to qualify for both the Agility and Jumping Grand Prix Finals, and we are 13th in the Agility and 8th in the Jumping.

So, we’re comfortably into the Jumping Final on that, but not the Agility. We’ll be a strong chance for Reserve but I won’t know until a week before the show, and I really wanted to avoid having to try and qualify on the day.

In a weird twist of circumstance, I’m desperately trying to keep Kim out of the Finals! I never thought she’d have a chance to qualify, but she’s 13th in the Jumping League which means she might be called up as a Reserve, and if she runs like she did at EMDAC, she might even qualify on the day in her own right.

Either way, it looks like both dogs will be going up to Graduate next season on Auto-Promotion. I thought I might have got away with keeping Kim in Novice Agility, but she’s had 2 wins this season which will push her up. So Finals weekend will be Kim’s BAA retirement party, and I will bring a cake!
