Carlee and I attended the 2011 AKC Agility Invitational in Orlando, FL, in December, and we had a hugely successful weekend! She had three clean runs out of four, and her one 5-point fault was totally my fault. She finished 36th overall out of the best 8" dogs in the country. I'm so proud of my little girl!
Last year, Carlee was invited to the 2010 AKC Agility Invitational in Long Beach, CA, as the #3 Manchester Terrier, AND we qualified for the 2011 AKC National Agility Championship, held April 1-3, 2011, in Lexington, VA. Due to my back and neck injuries, we were unable to attend either event. In 2009, Carlee was invited to the AKC Agility Invitational in Long Beach, CA, despite missing over half the qualifying period due to my surgeries. We went, and it was a huge disappointment (not her fault). This YouTube video sums it up very well.
Carlee loved agility - she finished her MACH in June 2010, becoming the 9th MACH Manchester Terrier, and was working on her MACH2 - she just needed one QQ and 129 points when her untimely death prevented us from finishing this title. She was also working on her T2B title, and had two Triple Qs towards her TQX. Carlee qualified in her first four AKC trials to earn her NA and NAJ with all first place ribbons. She also earned her OA with two firsts and one second place, her OAJ with one first, one second, and one third place, her AX with two firsts and a second, and her AXJ with one first and two seconds. Carlee was the #3 Toy Manchester Terrier in AKC Agility Excellent B Standard and JWW rankings for all of 2006, and #2 in 2007. She was invited to and competed in the 2007 AKC Agility Invitational in Long Beach, CA. She was also invited to the 2008 AKC Agility Invitational, but we were unable to attend.
In NADAC, she had one O-EAC leg, one OJC leg, one TG-O leg, one NCC leg, and one TN-O leg in addition to her Elite Agility (EAC), Novice Jumpers (NJC), Open Weavers (WV-O), Novice Touch & Go (TG-N), and Novice Tunnelers (TN-N) titles. In ASCA, Carlee had her Regular Standard Elite (RS-E), Jumpers Standard Elite (JS-E), and Gamblers Standard Open (GS-O) titles, plus assorted Regular and Jumpers points towards her ATCH. In UKC, Carlee earned her UAG1 title with four qualifying scores, including two 200 scores, in her first four trials.
