In my opinion, he did fine until we got to the far end of the room, near the gallery. Larsen broke away a few steps, put his nose over the fence and started air scenting. What he was after, I haven't the faintest idea. It wasn't fried chicken or other food, he's smelled that before. Sue R. thought it may have been a bitch in heat. Another contested later said that someone popped open one of the doors to the arena and he may have been smelling the outdoor air that wafted in. Whatever it was, it left me flat-footed and unprepared and made him seem like a disobedient dog.
We finally got back on track, finished a very tricky course, and earned the green qualifying ribbon.
We are heading back today, Sunday, for our try at the third and final leg.
