Thanks Chris, She will be 9 years old in November! Right now I have a statement from you saying she qualified for Pre-Elite, then a month or so later a statement that says she is qualified for Elite!I'm very concerned about that because it will be our first Champs, I feel like my dog can handle the Elite course but I've had some medical issues and I'm not sure if I can handle the large course! I've been told that as long as she doesn't get 10 Q's in Regular Elite that I can enter her in Pre-Elite, Is this true Chris?
