December 3-5, 2010
Clipper competed in his first AKC trial in Lansing, MI Clipper had a good debut in his first AKC
trial, earning qualifying scores in two of his three standard runs and in
two of his three JWW runs. He earned 100 points in three of his runs and
95 in one standard run when he couldn't resist going to an off-course
table. He placed first in each of these runs.

July 2010
These are Clipper's first two runs in
competition. He earned a qualifying score in each and a First Place.
However, he didn't have much competition. The dog barking in the
background is Sailor who thinks he should always be the one running. The
second video shows that at this point, Clipper has a better start line
stay than Sailor. Enjoy!

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to give you a quick update
on Clipper as he has just started to take part in some club agility
activities.
On Sunday, June 6, 2010, the club was
putting on an agility demonstration in a small town that was
celebrating its hundredth birthday. This was Clipper's first
opportunity to run a course. His part of the course was made up of
nine obstacles most of them were tunnels and also included the A-frame
and the teeter. He did all nine obstacles smoothly on his first
attempt without a hitch. He had two more runs on the same sequence
before the day was over and they also went well. This was a great
start, as he was doing this in a strange place, outdoors (we practice
indoors) and in front of lots of people. Then last Saturday we had a
fun run at the practice arena and he had three more runs. Again he
performed beautifully, staying on course all the way around. The
first course was fairly simple but the second and third courses were
more challenging but he handled them beautifully. These courses
involved all the regular agility equipment and the only part he had
difficulty with was the weaves and that is because he had never done
them as part of a sequence before and so that is what we are starting
to work on in our backyard sessions. Then this past Tuesday he had
his first opportunity to take part in Starters house league (he missed
the first one because it was the day after he was neutered). In his
first run he showed that Cha Cha and Cruiser seemed to have produced
another good agility dog. He ran the 14 obstacle course clean and did
it in 23 seconds. The course was approximately 110 yds long and so he
was moving at a little better than 4.5 yds per sec the kind of time
that Sailor often gets. At this stage he is jumping with obstacles
set at 10", and in competition he will be jumping 16" and so that will
make a difference. However, I am thrilled that he seems to want to
speed around the course like his older brother. It looks like Cruiser
and Cha Cha may have produced another winner.
I intend to start competing in CPE
events with him in a couple of months. They allow dogs to start
competing at 15 months, and he will be 15 months old tomorrow. CPE
also has three levels that you can start at, and I would start him at
the lowest level which is no more difficult than the runs he has
already done. I started Sailor at level 2 because he was two before I
entered him in CPE events.
