Running contacts! WOW!

OK, so this is what my goal is. Lofty? Maybe. Ok, YES, very lofty, but hey "shoot for the moon", right? I hear this dog was originally trained with a 2o2o. That's kind of amazing that she has such great contacts with a retrain. Very cool. Wish I knew how she did it. Roscoe is a retrain. He will never have that speed, but he can be really accurate. He can also totally leap. Oi! Spur, has shown some good speed, but he can also totally leap. Like leap through the contact zone flying so low to it that he just soars over it and it doesn't even look like a leap, but not one single hit in the zone! Like a low flying aircraft, doing a fly by at top speed, swishing the air around in circles, but not hitting anything nearby. That's Spur at top speed, no zone, no go, no Q, damn IT! We are working on it. Working on speed, zone, and dreams of Q's.

This dog seems to have a stride that just hits the zone perfectly. Spur, no. His stride at full speed puts his back feet barely at the top of the zone. That's pretty risky. How one gets that speed with both feet hitting the zone is amazing! Roscoe, if I could get that speed from him his stride definitely puts him in the zone. "In the zone", that's our goal. We want to be in the zone, Muffin Heads!
