Rom Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Midget Guts looks like a winner to me So cute! I was talking to the Judge I was stewarding with, she thought it was funny and they would have to make him special jumps if he gets into open in the future You know, I have a friend who has just started trialling her Pap this year....hadn't even given a thought to the jump heights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidoney Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I know someone who trials a teeny weeny Papillon - much smaller than most Paps I've seen. The different lowest jump heights for the different codes make an impact on what trials she attends. Seesaws are also an issue. Some of them have the balance set up so that the seesaw lowers very slowly (increasing course times) or she's even had it not go down at all. If he's overweight, even if he's small, he needs to have the weight off, particularly since the littlest dogs always seem to jump much higher relative to their own height. You don't want to go stressing his joints. Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks we will be stuck in CCD for a long time ;) I dont think he will make it to open its obedience not agility, I would do it with him if I didnt have metal hips They might snap off if I try to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidoney Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ah - smacks head. I read "jump" and immediately made a connection with agility. I've not trialed in obedience for some time - long before CCD arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueM Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yuppers Sidoney in Open you have to jump,I dont think I will get that far, he retireves his dumbell at home, but wont do it at training yet you should see the size of the dumbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogs4Fun Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Good on you! My Cairn used to commonly be the shortest dog in the trial at 290 mm, yours will beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonasche Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I trialed and tracked with a mini dachshund many years ago, most people found it amusing to watch us work. Good luck with trailing Varicool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKat Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh when are you going to start coming again Hopefully in the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueM Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Harvey has his certificate now so its all full steam ahead from here, now dumb question but I cant wait until next week at class, how do I enter and does the cccq send out a magazine or something or do I have to pay a subscription for that thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Once you are a member of the CCCQ they will start sending you the mags each month...can't remember when the next one is due tho...lol. Are you meaning entering trials? for that you need to get the entry forms from the CCCQ - you can call them and do it all over the phone pay by credit card etc or just fax them what you want etc...get a booklet of them for $5 or so from memory. Then you fill out the forms as required for each trial and send the form and cheque off to the secretary and 'bobs your uncle' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueM Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Thanks Kitkat oops dont own a cheque book and yuppers entering trials, do they send you a membership pack or anything all I have received so far is Harveys cert and it has my membership number on it...

KitKat Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It's been known for people to send cash...lol...but it's not encouraged! But the Aussie post cheque thingo's are also fine from what i understand At least i hope so! As that's what i'll be doing unless i arrange for a cheque book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Have you also joined as a member? Can't remember if you have to do it at the same time - i was a member of the CCCQ before i got my poochies Tho if you have a membership number then i'm assuming you have joined...and that may be all the info etc you get! You don't get a membership pack as such...from memory i got a 'letter' with my card attached to it, along with the rules and regs of being a CCCQ member etc...so if you have that i think that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueM Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Do people find their dogs do better in trials than is class, Harveys a lazy wee tyke slow recalls etc, but when we did a recall as part of a demo at the fun night at obedience last week he was very fast and on the ball it was as if he was showing off to the other dogs and owners watching Thanks Kitkat no havent got the member card or letter just Harveys cert I did both at the same time Edited August 1, 2007 by varicool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Sounds like the rest is coming As to doing better in a trial...it can depend on you and how nervy/anxious/tense etc you get I'm expecting Bronx to work badly in a trial...lol...for all that he plays it up like a ham and is generally super obedient when we are at work (eg expos etc). But i'm expecting myself to be an absolute mess going into the ring the first few times and i know B will pick up on that. I think Sabe will work better only because he'll be more on alert - but will he focus on me or everything else?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueM Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think nerves will be fine, I am not expecting miracles with a chihuahua Hurry up and come back to class already, Harvey needs some more German Sheps to Harrass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hehehe...considering Bronx has been 'treated harshly' by several little poochies...i'm not sure his greetings will be particularly friendly but we can see how things go Besides he was bitten on the nose by a rat the other day...not sure how he'll go with a Chi... Just kidding of course (he was bitten tho...lol) I'm hoping to be back there next Monday - meant to be back this week but was sick as a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
