Rune earned two more 1st place Elite jumper's legs at our club's Asca/Nadac Sept 2005 trial 3 more to go for her Outstanding title in Nadac.
With VERY tight times, and some challenging courses, we had a blast! I love this shot by Barry Rosen, which shows her changing leads and direction in mid-air.



Rune is a dynamo in merle camouflage. She is extremely high drive, focused and a ball & frisbee fanatic. Jumper's is her favorite venue with an average of 6-7+ yps, she can run like he!! and no contacts to slow her down.

She is one of our most loving, social and affectionate dogs... she’s "never met a stranger." She is very intuitive, hence the name, responding to people’s moods and thoughts-this sensitivity will hopefully make her a good pet therapy dog when she is a bit older. 

When we Q, Rune almost always places in the top three....when we don't, it is sometimes a train wreck, but we still have fun. 



 I overheard an agility  judge once say at a seminar, that Aussies are not an "honest" breed. Whatever that means!  Rune is not one of the most forgiving dogs, but she is one of the most honest dogs I know! She may tell me off, if my timing is bad with a cue, but her feedback let's me know when she is getting the information she needs, as part of the team.
 
 
Rune continues to burn up the agility field as we are working on her Excellent and Elite titles.  We are working on our contacts and "cruise control" at this point.  Slowing down to actually hit them is our goal for this year, and the
next...and the next!  And she is!
