ADCH Tempo

Introducing ADCh Tempo (aka Big Chirps)!

I had set a goal to get Tempo's ADCh this year and am so happy that Dave and Tempo and Tempo finished it at this weekend's Bay Team Regional.

Even more special was that the ADCh was earned under judge Karen Gloor, whom we met and competed with in the Southwest when we first started in agility *just a few years ago* with Tempo's great-great-grandmother, Tahoe.

2024 ASCA Nationals brags

ASCA Nationals 2024 was held in Grand Island, Nebraska (a mere 1,500 mile distance from home). The pack did well over the two-week trip, below are some of the highlights from our household:

  • Elektra: She had a light schedule for the pre-trials, but finished strong going 10/12 over the week with 8 wins!

  • Prima: Some moments of brilliance in agility, sometimes all in the same run :-). She enjoyed dock jumping, tying for 1st in FetchIt and making the bonus round (took 2nd there). She has added a golf cart to her Christmas wish list.

  • Tempo (Q x Stella): HIT Elite and Overall Agility at the Lowands ASC pre-trial going 6/6 almost all with Top 3 placements; 15th overall in Agility Finals with 3rd place in Rd 2 Gamblers and 4th place in Rd 3 Regular. 3/6 at Nationals, winning both Jumpers rounds with Dave handling.

  • Vitesse (Tess (Case x Tori)): Only ran in Jumpers and Gamblers, earned 2 titles and got some great big-event experience with placements!

  • Pinto (Rhett x Quasar): Says being crated in the stall is boring but adjusted to RV life.

In addition, Brio (Buck x Boca) and Jody Faulkner had a fantastic outing, winning Veteran Agility Finals and coming in 2nd for HIT Veteran / 3rd for HIT Overall at Nationals.
