leopuppy04 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) In fact I will PAY you to take her off my hands! One Black Tri Aussie free to good home.... Supposed to be brilliant trialling dog in both agility and obedience. Will drive one insane if kept as performance dog, but will also drive one insane if kept as pet and given nothing to do We were sitting on a pass in obedience yesterday with a score of 192.... everything was going well and she'd given me some pretty good work (all of you victorians who I speak to might know what she likes to pull in the ring sometimes :D)... 10 seconds to go in the drop stay and oh... I just have this ITCH... right here.... uh yup... sorry mum, I just gotta SCRATCH it :rofl:..... But how can you be angry at her... in her mind she never 'left' the drop, she just lifted her front paws up enough to get a good scratch and went back to the drop... shall we add this to about 3 other novice trials where she has blown scores of high 180s - mid 190s on silly little things such as forgetting what 'stand' meant, lying down in sit stays, or doing a recall and then targetting a marker and sitting square on that instead Oh yes, laugh now, but when everything else is perfect and it's always something different..... I'm ready to bring out the firing squad So... who wants some fun?! When can I drop her off?!?! Edited December 7, 2008 by leopuppy04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 OK - just put her in a padded post bag and send her to me...... Maybe we could do a swap - Kinta for.....hmm Blaize! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 How about Kinta for Lexi or Scoota?!?!!? *nods head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamby Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hey send him to me. Gambit would have the bestest fun. Maybe they could get the funny things out of them so that next year they will blitz the trials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvawilow Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Um, I think I'll have to pass, sorry. I can't have two Aussie's who stop short on recalls in my yard At least you've advertised "to good home" and you're not up to the "any home" stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nah, I don't want her. You've clearly trained an unreliable drop stay. Lil has sat up once, had a scratch and dropped again. Ted has commando crawled half way to me, never getting his belly off the ground. Gotta love em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopuppy04 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hey PF - I refuse to take blame on her training.... it's all her I tells ya! ALL HER her handler is perfect (or is that Pawfect?!) (Leo sneaks in to say... nup, handler sucks!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hey, LP - she's just getting you prepared for the frustration of UD, where they have endless opportunities for creative work. I feel your pain - my Sam did something like that to me when he was sitting on a 190 title pass in Open - sat up as I came back to him on the down - and he didn't even have the excuse of an itch. (He was a bugger for dropping on sits, and I think I'd overdone the training of 'being in a sit when I get back to you is a good thing' Hey - how about we suggest as a change for the rules review - lifting up to scratch and then going straight down again is only a minor?

leopuppy04 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 No - I think we need an 'extra points for creativity' clause in the rule book!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I tried that with Fergus when he did a 2 minute Stand Stay (meant to be a Down) in CCD - well, I thought it was worth extra points - sadly the judge couldn't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) You still trying to get rid of Blaize Sandi - awwwwwwwwww tell Blaize she is welcome anytime but she would try and eat my BCs . She and Ness would make a great pair. And as I said all in the Aussie post I know all too well to be sitting on what was my best Open score EVER by a long margain and a big event like the Adelaide Royal Show on THIRD place (which I didn't know at the time) and then for my little girl to decide she needed to lick her tummy during the down stay and then sit up . Really hard when they have worked the round of their life to muck it up with stays. All I can think of is all the shitty passes she had before that when she nailed her stays .

leopuppy04 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I guess we are asking for it aren't we... we are often told 'never work with kids or animals...' I think I'm beginning to understand. Rather than 'kids say the darndest things'... it's more like 'dogs do the darndest things' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I know what LP you send me Kinta and I'll send you miss Kenzie. You can return miss Kenzie when she is trained cos her natural talent is currently wasted on me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
