NADAC trial


Me and Iggy Pop joined our friends Raquel and her Chessie Reign for the NADAC agility trial.  This was our first time trying NADAC agility and we were excited to try something different.

I LOVE the courses - fast fast fast courses with tight course times - so if you have a fast dog its for you!  Lots of obstacle discrimination as well.  I was entered in Jumpers and Tunnelers.  Jumpers is just that - jumps.  No weaves - makes for fast fun!  Tunnelers is also self explanatory - all tunnels.  Tunnelers is WICKED fast and its so fun to see the dogs that realize they get to run through tunnel after tunnel.  

The BEST part about NADAC is that Cardigans are under their breed exemption!  So Iggy Pop can jump 8 inches no problem - he can even jump 4 in Veterans once he is older.  Weaves are only found in Weavers and Regular classes and there is no table or teeter in anything.  They do use Hoops which are harder than they look. 

Iggy Pop qualified in both classes he was entered in with clean runs and first places!!!  Go Iggy Pop!

Was this your first NADAC trial? It is a great venue! Touch n Go is a tough course too, with all the discriminations. There is a pretty large NADAC community in NJ and some great NADAC trainers down there. Congrats on your Qs and having such a good time with your boy!

Congrats on a successful trial! Good to hear that you liked NADAC. I've never run them before, but I'm hoping to take Ziggy to a local trial next weekend...
