Silvawilow Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) I'm in Victoria and need a partner for excellent pairs with my dog Kira, our original partner is now taking a break from trialling, no falling out just in case anyone was thinking that! My girl is fast (although can be a tad crazy, we're working on it and is in the 500 class (she can jump higher if necessary). We're entering Ballaarat (spl) and Warragul at this stage. Oops and we're doing Warrinagl too! If anyone needs a partner or knows of someone who's after one please let me know, we're keen, ready and able! The pic below is of my girl, Kira.

leopuppy04 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Good idea SW - Leo is also on the lookout for a "NOVICE" SP partner.... he jumps 600. He isn't super fast, but runs at a nice steady pace and is consistent...... Anybody want to run with Leo??? We go to most Metro agility trials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 You should let the trial secretary know as often people tell them they are looking for a SP partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvawilow Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thanks for that PAX - I wouldn't have even thought of that! I'll get emailing them, wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope not sore - must have been the 3.5hrs in the car :rofl: Can Blush jump 600 though?!?!? The dogs weren't tired either - spent ALL day in the city yesterday!!! When I train Blush I have the jumps set at both 600 and 500. Someone told me this helps to keep them sharp??? Blush isn't super quick either, her two jumpers passes have been in times of about 22-24 seconds. She is improving with every trial though and seems to be getting quicker as she gets more confident! Your puppies are lucky, where's my trip to the city. I would hate to think what would happen if I took mine to the town, Blush would end up with RSI from doing wiggle bum all day at people, Narmi would have to be rolled home after eating all day and Kira would have taken off and run home, not a social butterfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t(AD)pole Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) Can I join in? Abbie is in novice and we are not quite ready for pairs but we should be after a bit more practice(I need to get more confidence in the ring lol). She has a bit of a focus problem but we are working on it and improving (slowly). eta:Just thought I should add, she jumps 500 and we are in vic. Leopuppy- Abbie and I would be happy to run with you and Leo if she is OK at 600. We're not great but we're an option (if you're desperate ). eta:We are not ready just yet so if you find someone else go for it.

Mrsdog Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Anyone in Sydney needs a strategic pairs partner (Novice) then Kiss is up for grabs. She is a 400 dog but could jump 500 OK. Anyone desperate? Noels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Give me a few weeks and hopefully Darcy will work out he can do it all in one go then i will be looking for a partner too He is 500......Nova is 400 but certainly not reliable enough yet.

helen Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Silvawillow, I could do with the occasional partner in excellent. Are you going to the royal we could catch up then - I did novice with Bella with a Border collie who is now retired due to her age. Tilly did 2 runs with an English Springer Spaniel and one with a Portugese Water Dog. I am doing some runs with the Springer but we aren't always at the same trials, I doubt very much if they will be at Ballarat, when does it close?. The PWD doesn't have her novice title yet so we are waiting for her to get the last pass too. Edited September 18, 2007 by helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Helen, Unfortunately I'm not going to be at the Royal, at this stage I still don't think Kira could cope with all those people, and I'd probably fall asleep . Ballarat closes on 5th October, if the Springer's not going to be there I'd love to pair up with you guys, although I might be a bit distracted watching you babies jump sooo high and clean!

helen Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 thanks. The way I figure as long as we don't look totally bad it will be OK as there is always lots of people watching. A pass will be a bonus as we haven't quite got that masters worked out yet LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
