For Joep to run still in the first level (A-class),  his judge for this day Arjen van Gastel.
Quita  judge Ben Gräfe in the Veteran-classe large.
The weather was very good, always  very positief for matches outside!

Our last agility-match before we will drive to Hungary to take part into the 8th ParAgility World Cup, so we hope a good training!

Quita was running the Jumping very good...untill the last jump before the finish..she just took the wrong one......... so Disqualification ;-(
Her Agility was very nice, a clear run but some seconds more then  SCT!

On the Game-course for Joep  a 20th place of the 49 competitors....not very bad!
Also for him on the Jumping a disqualification and on the Agility a clear round...but also to much time.even 15e place on the list!

This time a location not far away from home..only 10 minuts to drive ;-)
Judge Willem-Alexander Kelders for Quita and Arjen van Gastel for Joep.

Quita only runs the Jumping and Agility , that's enough for her age (9 years).
On the Jumping a disqualification, but on the Agility a very nice clear round..only 4,37 seconds  more then the SCT, this give her the 12th place of 31 competitors.

For Joep a good day...of the 73 competitors of his group he became on the Game-course 13th and on the Jumping 32th! The SCT of the Jumping 33 seconds...for us not easy to get!
I was satisfied of their runs!

Today only runs for Joep into the first level ( A-class), judge Ron van Straten.

Not a very succesfull matchday....Agility and Jumping both a disqualification. The Game-course was not very bad but it was a TFU ( time- fault- out)  that means only the obstacles you had run withouit a fault  are counted..so when you make  on the 3th obstacle a fault, you will get 2 points...and  the dog with the most points and the fast time will be the winner!

Today only the first level so Joep was running.
Judge Martin Schoffelmeer with very  pithy courses I believe (just like other handlers) not for first level...but I always say: just try ;-)

The start on the Game-course was not very good..disqualification, but later on the day Joep came back.
On the Jumping only one refusal, but this give as well a 29th place of the 86 competitors (54 runs a disqualification).
On the Agility he ran a clear round, so again a good place 24th....again 56 competitors a disqualification so we were very happy!

14 & 15 November   Eurodogshow on Kortrijk, Belgium

On friday 13 November we started our journey to Roncq in France to pass the night. By this way  we were sure to be on time in the Expo-Hal in Kortrijk, Belgium on saterdaymorning! We had entry into the agilitymatches both days into the 2e level (1e level wasn't) By consulting the judges, Kees Stoel from the Netherlands, Michel Liekens and Wilfried Claes from Belgium, it was possible for my oldest dog Quita  to run into the medium-classe (because she's Veteran) without compete! Quita had run 3 of the 4 courses (2 agility and 2 jumping)  beautifull clear rounds! Joep had some faults, but of the 4 courses he had only one disqualification. The course were pithy with a lot of traps, so there were a lot off disqualifications! Also met a lot of friends from Belgium and of course promoted the para-agility to the general public!
