Ptolomy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Here is my little blonde girl Blaize competing in open at this years Western Classic. Blaize has her own agenda and can be either brilliant or bloody awful Only one slight hiccup/blonde moment in the dumbbell on the flat, but otherwise it was a good effort from her. Thanks to Tash for uploading the clip to You Tube and for helping me with my blonde moments. Now grab a bag of pop corn, a cold drink and sit back and pick the handling to bits LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXYyyl7otIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Oh - she's gorgeous! Love your hand signal for stand too! Oh, that first retrieve is a classic...in your own time........ Great clip - well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 The Western Classic is the top 10 dogs in each class in WA. Blaize was the last of my dogs in the ring. I had already had Scoota in Open and UD Lara in UD Beans in Novice and I had withdrawn Lexi from CCD and some of them have different signals - so we did well not to stuff it up BIGTIME.

2tollers Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) That's great Ptolomy, I loved watching the 2 of you. Thanks for posting the link. Blaize is gorgeous. BTW Is River a Cav x Toller? Edited May 2, 2008 by 2tollers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 You actually don't find out the score - they only award 1st place. The dumbbell cost her bigtime! From memory I think the winner got 192. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 LOL 2tollers thats what I said about Riv. Riv is a friends cavie x who lives here in Adelaide. Tash sorted out putting Ptolomy's video on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I will most certainly 2tollers. I agree Riv really does look like a tiny version of a toller and he acts like it as well - certainly very un cavie like :rolleyes: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Go Blaize and Ptolomy! Interesting to see the obedience on video. You can see just what the dog is doing because the camera is zoomed in Wow, River does look like a miniature Toller! How gorgeous is he! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ptolomy, she did some nice work, pity about that dumbell! Just out of curiosity, was the judge from Queensland by any chance? It looks alot like Barbara Murfett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Yes it was Barbara Murfett from Qld - she was lovely. For the Classic they always get judges from the Eastern States to judge and International Judges for the show. Amypie - this is how the videoing should be done - unlike some of the novice efforts we have had in the past (tongue in cheek).

JulesP Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Very nice work! Can you please descripe what you do with your feet on your turns?? lol. It looks different foot work from what I was taught and I am crap at doing that, so am always looking for different foot work! Is hard to see on the vid.

ness Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yep Ptolomy does the opposite to what I have been taught too - although now I am doing a mix of both . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks different foot work from what I was taught and I am crap at doing that, so am always looking for different foot work! Is hard to see on the vid. God I have never thought about it! As I go into a turn, generally the step before the turn, I slightly turn my head in the direction I am going, which will turn my shoulders and cues the dog into what is happening. Sorry, but don't have time to think about my feet as well I might go back and have another look to see what I am doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
