Dog Biathalon - Police Games

[Guest]

if anyone is interested in watching the Canine Handler Biathalon it's being held on the 8th of September at the Queensland Police Service Academy - as part of the Qld Police Games

starts at 7am and will have dogs competing from

Police

Corrective services

Royal Air Force

Army

Protective services

Customs

Quarantine Inspection service

It will be free for spectators and BBQ food will be available for sale.

It should be an amazing day of doggie/handler expertise ... I'm hoping to go down to watch the mornings events. The Police Academy is at Oxley - Rudd St ... hope to see lots of DoL'ers there ...

they expect the day to close at about 4pm. The afternoon will have an ironman event - eat a cold pie, drink a hot drink .. that kinda thing

serious 'doggie' stuff will be in the morning.

Oh no! I only just saw this! I would have loved to go

Could I have missed out by any slimmer a margin?

Did anyone go? was it good?

I went along

there were some really beautiful german shepherds belonging to the Qld police, and the Army had some impressive Malonois (sp?)

the Labs that were there were more interested in just running and running but 'some' did manage the agility portion of the course..

they all did really well in the endurance portion ... I was really impressed with the fitness of the handlers too

I just with they'd let staff do this as well I get cranky each year as i can enter pretty much all the rest of it...but can't do the dog stuff!
