Congratulations Ivan and ice 🖤 team USA 🇺🇸

First update from the competition.
WE MADE IT through tracking this morning 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Ice got 88 points in some seriously tough conditions!
He worked through some super challenging spots and eventually got “stuck” on a hole with something in it (my guess) that he had to snap from and resume tracking to finish the last leg.
We are happy, emotionally drained, peaceful and everything in between at the same time right now.
Thank you all for the best wishes last night!!! It worked ❤️.
Now we will take a serious break, recharge and focus on Obedience tomorrow 🤞🏻🍀
In case you’re wondering - On the picture Ice decided to charge for his ball behind the camera 😂😂😂

x2 World Champion Ivan Balabanov & J'Ice Ot Vitosha during the Running Stand exercise in the obedience phase of the FMBB Qualification Trial in Springfield, TN.

The Running Stand is one of the more difficult excersises and a differentiator at high level competition. Most competitors do it at a jogging pace so that the dog's transition to the stand is made easier. Not Ivan and Ice, they go full sprint and stick the stand. When you got the goods, you got show it off.
