dogdude Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Ok..........My last big mindless brag of the year!!!!!!!! New Pup!!!! "Brydee" comes from the same dam as Rexy's "Remy". She is also known as "Roxley Strutin Mistuff". We have trialling in mind, with my wife to handle her. It seems that after tagging along to a few trials she has been bitten by the bug! She is around 4 weeks old in the pic. She just turned 11 weeks today when we picked her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 ohhhh very cute! You will have lots of fun with her. I've got the week off on 'maternity' leave and all I have done is play or watch the dogs! Have my first pre-puppy class tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Ok another brag from me - while Ness and I are off holidaying and learning so much over West it was our club presentation evening last Saturday night back in SA. Ness managed to get 4 prizes - not sure exactly what she came in each class but they would have been for untitled masters agility, untitled masters jumping, untitled excellent agility and untitled open jumping. She has had a particularly successful year finishing off her ADX at long last with some really nice runs (and wins against interstate competitors in the pre-Nationals trial). She is also quickly collecting passes towards her ADM with 3 so far and a number of near misses. Her JDM is coming closer with only 2 more legs required. Her open obedience work has been improving all the time. We have managed 8 agility quallies and 9 jumping quallies which would be the most successful year we have had to date. Not to mention an additional three CDX passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 This might sound like a strange brag but......Brock chased a ball last night and picked it up! He did it in a fairly wimpy way but at least he moved after it!! Poppy is going very well at pre-puppy school. She is more outgoing than Brock but still quite placid. She does loovveee going on the puppy agility stuff though! She sits and drops and comes when called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Hey Jules way to go with Brock . Well Ness just had her final UD practice session before her debut trial on Friday evening and she worked an absolute treat. If she works half as well on Friday night as she did tonight I will honestly be over the moon with her. Considering how pearshaped things went yesterday she really lifted her game tonight. Even her gloves which I wasn't sure how she would go have improved tremendously in the 2 weeks we have been in WA. While we still aren't 100% trial ready (well its there its just not as polished as I would ideally want it) I am sure we will be in with a good chance come next year to hit the ground running and the foundations are all there for her to perform well given half a chance. Friday night is purely a fact finding mission to see where we need to improve. That being said I intend to go out and enjoy myself in the ring and do not intend to get nervous over it. Its just another "mock" training session the only difference being I have only myself to use as a reward and no food .

Ptolomy Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 You know we all wish you good luck for Friday Sally. You have done all the ground work and in the two weeks you have been in Perth Ness has gone up another level. However - just remember I will be the one outside the ring waiting with a big stick if...... You don't make it a pleasant experience If you don't tell your dog how wonderful she is between exercises If you walk too fast If you take a huge step before you halt If you don't tell your dog how wonderful she is between exercises If you rush your signals If you don't walk in a straight line If you don't tell your dog how wonderful she is between exercises If you do dodgy right and left about turns I think that just about covers it and now you should be suitable nervous Good luck and enjoy the ride.........

JulesP Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Good luck Ness! You are a bit scary Ptolomy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 JulesP - Ptolomy is VERY scary I have been so traumatised but the whole training experience to the point where I never want to train with her as long as I live . As for suitably nervous nope totally over it. It could go great, it could go totally pearshaped, it could fall up somewhere in between. Whatever happens at least I am taking the best black and white dog back to SA again with me on Sunday. Now if she doesn't get that 190 in Open however thats an entirely DIFFERENT story .

And a few smuggled red dogs Good luck Sally & Ness!

ness Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) Smuggled red dogs huh - hmm better watch Ptolomy I think Amypie has a few ideas . Nope no smuggled red dogs for me Ness is enough of a handful without having a red dog just yet . Not sure I am properly schooled on how to train a red dog either - they seem to be a world of there own. I can just imagine what would happen if I ended up with a Lexi type - geez it would probably turn out just like Chevy . I think I'll stick with my medium drive BC thank you very much (Ness will be pleased to hear that as I think she is over red dogs ). And just in case Ptolomy thought I was serious in my response I am just kidding. I have learnt so much and had an absolute ball and well Ness just has to suffer the consequences - no more nice mum . So glad you put the silly idea of me coming over into my head (even if a couple of supervisors probably don't agree :p ).
