Hi Jennifer,
Most of what you have learnt in CGC will be repeated in the pre-novice trails. Of course the requirements will be stricter. Take a look at what will be tested in the list below and spot what would be the challenging for Luckey. Concentrate on that and with your confidence, I don't see why you and Luckey should not qualify.
For Pre-Novice, the following will be tested: (This is summary form, I have the full detailed version if required)
Heelwork (40pts) - Walking on leash with handler,normal pace. The team (ie. you and the doggie) will be judged on your responses to these commands: Forward,Halt, Right turn, Left turn,Stand & About turn. Next would be the figure of 8 heelwork.
Stand stay (on leash) (10pts)- The dog is to stand steadily beside the handler on a loose leash and not show undue resentment or shyness. Move forward and stand your dog on order from judge. Both of you stand in this position while the judge circle no less than 1 meter around.
Recall (on leash) (20pts) - Sit the dog, walk about 6 ft in front, call the dog. Dog comes and sits in front of the handler, handler issues the finish command, dog moves behind the handler to resume the heel position on the left side.
Sit stay (off leash) (15pts)- Sit the dog, remove the leash, issue the stay command, leave the dog, walk about 20ft away, about turn & face the dog. Wait 30sec. Return to the dog and resume the heel position. The dog's front paws should NOT leave contact with the ground. (otherwise the dog would automatically be disqualified!)
Down stay (off leash) (15pts) - Same as sit stay above except you down the dog before moving away. Wait 1 minute. Dog should NOT stand up otherwise it'll be auto disqualified. Dog can shift about but the body must NOT leave contact with the ground.
Passing mark is 70 for pre-novice.
Hope this helps. Rdgs Arthur

WHO'S 
. I know how it is like fearing that your dog might snap at the judges.. that's why every now and then, i'll try opeining up her mouth to show her teeth.. just let her get use to it.. incase she enters the competition.. perhaps you can try to let your dog get use to ppl looking at her teeth and feeling her bones. 
What does your full-detailed version consist of? Would be helpful if you don't mind - thanks so much! 
by the judge is only a part of it. If she is well structured and moves like a dream give her a chance........probably what she need is more training on the table and getting her use to being touched more often. Still not late for the March show..start training her like NOW everyday, morning and evening. If she doesnt do well in March it'll still be good experience for you and Luckey. You have to start somewhere.
......make sure u attend the MIPE shows next month.
