On November 17th, I earned my Novice Standard Preferred Agility Title, (NAP). This is my second agility title, and now I’m officially done with novice, and moved up to the open class! Yay for me! It was another trial at Fusion, where I earned my other Novice Jumpers Preferred Title (NJP). Mom says I need to either be taller or quit earning such big ribbons!
I didn’t get a video of my run, nor did I get a photo on the course, but that is alright. Back in October I got two of my three legs I needed for my title at another trial. Its amazing, I got first place in all my qualifying runs. The thing I’m wondering is why the title is called NAP for short. Doesn’t it sound more like something for a cat?
This is a copy of the standard course I had to run. Standard has all the equipment, A-Frame, Walk It, Tunnels, Weaves (only six), Table, Tire, Teeter, and various Jumps.
Mom only had her phone along, so photos were limited. The course photos are above. One is from the left side, and one from the right.
I also got measured in November for the second time. In AKC agility, after a dog turns two, she needs a height card. To get the card, I had to be measured by two different measuring judges. For me it was super important because Mom will only run me in eight inch preferred because I am short and have a long back. If measuring put me above fourteen inches I would have to jump twelve inches, and Mom said we would quit agility. I’m happy to say, both my measurements let me stay at the eight inches! Now that is done, so I never need to be measured again.
On to Open Jumpers and Standard for Team Madison later this month!
congrats congrats!!!!!! that is amazing!!! and no ribbon is too big for you ;O))) I hate that measuring procedure and I always freak out… although the mama and me try it every day to become familiar with that measurement tool. but hey the good thing is that I have still one centimer more than da neilson, ha!
I don’t mind it, but my mom flips out because I am so close to the height cut off, but now we are done with that.
Hooray for you fur sure sweet Madison, we’re proud of you and know you will do so good in the next group too!
I need to get my focus, and then I will do fine I’m sure.
Congratulations, Madison! You are a SuperStar to me!
Mom always tells me I’m a small girl doing big things. I love what I do, and that is the most important.
Look at those ribbons, Madison, congratulations!! We are glad that the measurement thing worked out for you, because it’s obvious how much both you and your Mom enjoy it. We also love reading about it!
Agility is our bottom sport on our list of sports we do, but we still would not want to quit because it is a lot of fun.
Wow! All those ribbons. You should be very proud.
I have more ribbon at just 2 years old than all mom’s dogs ever had altogether. I’m a lucky girl.
Congratulations Emma would be so proud of you now on to the open you can do it all
She would be real proud. Mom says Emma is always on our shoulders when we compete.
Great job, and congrats!
Thank you. Mom and I are pretty happy.

Thank you. I have so many ribbons, but I love them all. It’s fun getting them, and they are all different.
Congratulations Madison!! WOW! All those ribbons! I know Emma is smiling down on you, proud as a peacock, of her youngest sister! I’m glad you’ll be able to continue the agility that you seem to love so much!!
My mom says I’m getting to be more and more like Emma. We are closely related, but she says it is almost freaky sometimes.
YAY for you, little Madison! I am super thrilled you are “little” like me! now you may continue on your journey to those BIG ribbons and letter after your name. XOXO, Sparkle
I love the ribbons and the letters. Dog sports are a lot of fun, and I don’t really mind being little for my breed. People say it makes me cuter.
Way to go. We’re all proud of you.
Have a woof woof day and week. My best to your peeps. β₯
Thank you. I’m proud of me too.
We are so proud of you! Y’all are going to need a room just for ribbons!
Our office walls are papered with our certificates, photos, and ribbons. It is also called a motivation room these days!
Oh my Madison!!!!! We are proud too!!!!!! Look at all you have accomplished!!!! xoxo
My mom forgets sometimes I’m just two years old. When she thinks about all my titles at my age, then it makes her so proud of me. I’m a pretty good sports dog.
Wow Madison, you’ll need a trophy room at home for all your ribbons!
ο»Ώxoxo,
Rosy, Jakey & Arty
Space is getting tight on our office walls!
Congrats, sweet girl. You’re always a winner in our books, and your ribbons seem to underscore that. Well done.
I’m doing pretty well for being only two. My sports are a lot of fun.
Madison, you and your mom are truly amazing and talented! You are great ambassadors for our breed!! Chablis
Thank you. We love doing our sports. It really creates a whole new level of bond and understanding between dogs and humans.
Way to go! Congrats!!!
Thank you.
