"Today was an amazing day for Lucy and I! We got our MACH title!
She is now MACH Acadia’s Catch Me If You Can, RAE, CDX, GO, XF, T2B, Therapy Dog. In order to get your MACH you have to have 750 points and 20 double qualifying runs out of the Master classes. At this level your runs have to be perfect. You get points for speed and have to qualify in both of your Master Standard and Master Jumpers runs on the same day 20 times. The journey has been a long time coming for us and there was a time that I wasn’t sure if we would make it. She moved up to the Master classes when she was 3 years old, but by the time she was 6 we had just 200 points and we were just getting our first Double Q. She has always been a sassy little girl and had a problem with flying off the contact obstacles, which caused her not to get her first Master points out of the Standard class until she was 6. This is the year that we really started to come together as a team. Her best year was as a 7 year old, collecting 250 points and 10 QQ’s.
Overall she finished with 2 first places, which she got today, 1 second place, five 3rd places and nine fourth place finishes in a very tough 12in class. This is my first MACH title, so it is super special! Thanks to Cadie Pruss for breeding such a beautiful, well rounded Sheltie. She has been such a joy to work with and everyone thinks she is the cutest!"
