Directly, we collide.

And I can't slow down. No.
Can you feel it too?
There ain't no stopping now.
Feet off the ground, head to the sky. Yeah.

...
You, in my vision, directly, we collide.

SchH/IPO 1: Tracking
Walking out to the field, Juinevere laid out a track with exactly two ninety degree turns for Bara to complete once they came back to the field in twenty minutes. She set out two articles about the size of a small remote. 
It was a moderate wait before the handler set up Bara on their traditional tracking lead. The female had no problem finding the medium-length track laid out, nor any issue sitting at the two articles to indicate their presence. The track was finished without a hitch.

SchH/IPO 2: Meter Jump & 4 blind search (search pictured).
Toward the middle-end of the obedience exercises, the meter jump was to be performed. Juinevere selected the second size wooden dumbbell from the rack and positioned herself and Bara head-bon with the jump. Throwing the dumbbell out and over the wall, she waited until directed. "Bring". The female darted out from the handler's side; leaping easily over the meter high jump, retrieving the over sized dumbbell before returning back over the jump. The shepherd happily sat before her handler, presenting the retrieved object.

The first exercise to kick-off the protection sequence was a four-blind search. Bara was sent out, and she did the task exactly as they had been practicing. She took her time to actually look in each blind as well; not just running around them blindly until she found the decoy. In their training, she had been taught to keep her senses sharp as the decoy was never in the same place. The decoy could be in any of the blinds and she was to run and look in pattern until the decoy was found. 

SchH/IPO 3: Stand in motion & 6 blind search (hold pictured).
The two were lead out into the field with the overseer, and directed to start. They completed the first task which was a down out of motion, specifically out of a run. Juinevere paced out once again with Bara, this time commanding for a stand out of motion. Bara stood patiently in the field for her handler, waiting to be called back to her side. Of course, the call came and the female finished at Juinevere's side. 

Starting off the protection, Juinevere sat back and watched Bara search each blind carefully but at a high speed. Rounding each one, she collected speed as she gathered rhythm. Arriving at the sixth blind, the excitement in Bara's bark was palpable. She voiced her opinion loud, deep, and clear. Her body took on an almost sit like position as she bounced with her barking. When she was recalled, the barking stopped and the coated female returned to her handler's side to continue on to the transport.

That second picture of her is just liquid gold. The pose! :faints: She's such a beauty! You manage to make a very dark black dog not look like a blob of random colour, which isn't easy. So basically, really well done!
