Worth Watching
It’s the nature of league play that we get caught up in the performance of the team, and fine performances by individual dogs are lost in the mix. The 50×70 is the most competitive and intense of the NDAL leagues.
We’d like to acknowledge several dogs worth watching:
Playing for Mobile Bay Dog Training in Mobile, Alabama Faith, a Border Collie handled by Kristy Gunther finished in 9th place overall with zero faults in 33.2 seconds:

I really enjoy seeing how the courses are set up in different areas of the country so I always watch a handful of the videos! It’s fun to see if other teams have the same issues on the courses as we do! Thanks for all you do !
