Taj MuttHall Year In Review: 2009
SUMMARY: Statistics and observations for the year.
Trials competed in: 16. My lowest number since 2000 (with a high of 23 in 2003). So made some progress on my vow to do less agility and more of The Rest of Life.
- CPE: 4 trials, one of which was only 1 day. Tika didn't participate in 2 because she was sore. Boost didn't participate in one because she was sore.
- USDAA: 12 trials, one of which was only 1 day.
Runs: 270
- Tika: 139, 76 of them Qs
- Boost: 131, 30 Qs
- CPE: 42, 32 Qs
- USDAA: 228, 74 Qs
Tika titles earned:
- GCH-Silver (Gamblers Champion silver, 25 Qs in championship)
- TM-Platinum (Tournament master platinum, 50 Qs with at least 10 in each tournament class)
- SACH-Silver (Standard champion silver, 25 Qs)
- PR3 - Performance3 Relay (equals RM in championship, 5 Qs)
- ATD - Accomplished Tournament Dog (equals TM in championship, 10 Qs with at least 2 in each of the 3 tournament classes)
- PK3 - Perf 3 Snooker (equals SM)
- JCH-Silver (Jumpers Champion silver, 25 Qs)
- ADCH-Silver (equals 5 ADChs -- 25 Qs in each of 5 regular classes plus tournaments)
- PG3 - Perf 3 Gamblers (equals GM)
- CPE CL4-S (strategy games, level 4)
- RCH (relay champion--10 Qs)
- GM (gamblers master--5 Qs)
- SAM (standard agility master--5 Qs)
- TM (Tournament master--10 Qs with at least 2 in each of the 3 tournament classes)
Notes:
- Tika earned all those P3 titles only between March and September, moving gradually into Perf as she completed silver in each Championship classs.
- After only 6 months in Performance, Tika is just one Standard Q away from her PD3 (MAD equivalent) and actually needs only 3 standards and 4 Jumpers for her APD (ADCH equivalent).
- Tika qualified for Nationals in all three tournaments (Steeplechase, Grand Prix, and Team)--in BOTH championship and Performance!
- Of Tika's 6 performance Snooker Qs so far, 5 have been Super-Qs.
- Boost qualified in Steeplechase 3 times this year--which is 3x more than she had qualified in her entire preceding agility career. ( I mean, before 2009, she had only ever qualified once.)
- Boost might hold the record for the most consecutive Masters Jumpers runs with no Q (36). But we keep coming very close--might get some someday!
Buster Cubes cracked open: 1 (as of this morning. Congratulations, butthead Boost.)

Great accomplishments, you should be very proud :)
BTW - I'm getting a pop up that asks me to enter a password "Enter password for finchest on ftp://finchest.ipower.com" when I load your page, just a heads up :)
Happy New Year, here's to lots of money for agility in 2010 !!!!
No pop-up here, but no photo, either. From the Activity viewer:

Ah, HA! Well, there ya go. Might explain also why I couldn't publish the photo in the regular way. Something in blogger seems to have gotten confused it was prompting me for p/w this morning, too--I just reset my password settings 3 or 4 times (I didn't change my password; just didn't seem to take) and now it seems to work ok, PLUS I could upload the photo in the normal way now. Thanks for letting me know.
Good year you had. Good thing Boost got that "break the Buster Cube" goal finished before the year slipped away on her! Wonder what her 2010 goal will be?
Mad skillz has Boost!
Wow, even Strummer hasn't managed to break the Buster Cube. Very impressive.
Elayne: She has been working at it for a long time in a very subtle way. See previous post from early 2008.
