J... Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Can anyone help me with locations of where these are held? Given most are held by breed clubs, there is no location on the VCA or vic obedience site and I obviously want to find the one that is closest! The viszla one is being held at KCC, the East Gippy and Murray Valley are too far. Does anyone happen to know where the Dalmatian Club and GSDCV ones are held?

Echo Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Last year, the GSDCV held one in Altona. I believe it will be held in the same place this year. Cheers Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachelleBuck Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) feralpup i am looking at doing that one to, it is a really nice run!!!!! nice paths etc. Have you started training yet? And will you be riding or walking, I will be riding, if I tried to run that far I would die!!!! Edited January 11, 2008 by RachelleBuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Rachelle! Definitely be riding it, I have no hope of running 20 km It may be the one I do, just realised it that its the Saturday and the Sunday is the VCA State agility trial. Decisions decisions My dogs pretty fit anyway, we did a bit of bikework before it got hot but unfortunately my favourite tracks have been taken over by mad holiday makers and the rest are really badly maintained (I'm paranoid about snakes!) so no serious training yet. Might see if I can find out where the Dalmatian one is held. Good luck with your training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J... Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Used to live down that way whitka - but Sale is way too far to go these days, I'd prefer not to stay overnight if I can avoid it. Does anyone know where the Dalmatian one is held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J... Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks TSD Have emailed the website contact tonight myself so I'm sure one of us will get a reply!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitka Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 That's fair enough i'm the same when I go to trials. I'd love to do the endurance test but I think if I made Toby do it he would go looking for a new owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleBuck Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 feralpup that sounds great. My dogs are fit too but I wont to make sure that their obedience side of riding is just right (running right beside the bike) I had a look on the dogs victoria sight to make sure i am doing it all right, I really have to Concentrate on not correcting my dogs if they are not perfect!! (I have been warned to do all the obedience before and after the ET on lead as it is a lot eaiser!!!) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The Dally Club of Vic is currently organising a date with the VCA for their endurance test - looks like being June but I will try to remember to update the thread if I hear something more specific. No word on venue yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capanash Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm thinking about doing an endurance test with my girl Lea. She has soft foot pads, so i'll have to toughen then up. The thought of me riding a bike for 20km's scares me Sounds like i'd better psych myself up to start training... btw it's me that needs the training!

J... Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks TSD - I received a similar reply today. Capanash "btw it's me that needs the training" - that statement there is the story of my dog associated life!! I've been told that some are done on grass, which is great for the dogs but not so good for someone who isn't used to riding a bike on grass. Might be worth looking at for your dog? Good luck with your training!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 All the tests are done on a mixture of grass/gravel/pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
