poocow Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I think Top would be awesome at this! But the problem is he scared and barks at bikes...so I don't think it would be possible. Don't know if Darcy would make it, plus he hates bikes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I am happy to announce that every dog that participated in the endurance test today at Erskine Park has passed. As to a personal experience - my ar*e hurts, my legs will hurt tomorrow, but I am now an owner of Divani aka Fireax Twice The Fun ET. Divanis paratemters throughout the test Before temp 37.9 heart rate 96 after 8 km 38.5 and 96 after 14 km 38.3 and 88 after 20 km 38.6 and 88 one fit dog!!! Not to mention that after the test she played with 3 dogs rumbling and running around like an idiot! All up we had 5 dobes there today, I think they were only matched in mubers by border collies - if that. GSDs being the most popular breed of a dog in Australia was reprsented by one dog. No labs, couple of goldens, husky, stampy tail cattle dog, and many more - usually one of the breed. Well done to everyone who was there, Im now off to the sofa to suffer for the rest of the day, Divani is fast asleep already. I will put some pics up later.

poodlefan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Excellent! Darcy's dropped across the test too. I think from memory, he started about 88 and ended up around 64. His heart rate has always been pretty low. I think they are tend to be excited at the beginning and their heart rate's reflect that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 yes first couple of lapsshe was pulling me a bit, wanted to go to the husky at front and sniffed everything in the paddock, watched the sheep etc. BTW it was -4 when we started, had to scrape off the frost of her paws for the vet to check them... but than it got warmer and warmer, mind you Divani has not panted at all for well over 15 km. On the last leg it got warm and she started to pant, but not very heavily at all. Alll in all we couldnt have asked for a better weather, especially that its raining here now.

Guest PixieOfWrath Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hey Pixie - you ment to be going somewhere on Monday nights, what happened? I need an pm with explanation! I have a problem with my elbow - my leadholding hand too. I can't physically hold him as I am too sore :p have had two lots of x-rays and two lots of ultrasounds and am off to see the second specialist on Thursday. When we can get my pain under control or get a bloody diagnosis, I'm THERE. Until then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Midol Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 When I go to NSW I'll consider doing it, depends whether I approve of DogsNSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
