LilBailey Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Just wanted to say what a great comp (well comps) it was and how welcome we were made to feel. It was great racing in every division. I don't think our dogs had anything else to give. I think we will be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Completely agree!!! I had one of two dogs entered... so one is calm, the other i think could smell flyball I don't think i had anything else to give... i was exhausted! Loved the Handicap Champion Trophy.... what a way to finish off the racing. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yep was a great weekend of racing, my dogs were absolutely exhausted by the end of it though. It was Delta's first ever comp and she ran so well for me both days, I am very proud of her. I was also very happy with Charlie, I have been having issues with him running at agility/flyball lately but he gave it his all both days. I would have come over LilBailey except I wasn't sure which one was you LOL. I saw all of your dogs (Charlie was in Div 2 against you guys) but as they all had a different handler I had no idea who you were. I tried to get photos of your team running but every time I grabbed the camera and stood ringside I ended up having to steward :rolleyes: Here is the link to the photos I took though, there are some of Twiggy in there for you Linda. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14652975@N06/...57616637956735/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarrowfell Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We had a great day racing on the Good Friday. Dogs loved it and we were exhaused but will definately be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBailey Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I was running the Chocolate Feral, Except when she got carded and we had to do a mass handler swap. (My bad I shouldn't have re-run her with a ball in her mouth she thought she should bring both back) My Bailey boy will run for anyone but best for his Aunty Loo. I was so proud of all the dogs they all put in 100% and we got PB's from about 4 dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thought that was you LOL. Both times she crossed was against our team haha (Im with X-Factor), very fast dog you have there, Im hoping I can get a similar speed out of Delta once she works out how to turn and catch properly on these boxes (she is currently about 4.3secs), they are very different to the Norwest ones and both my dogs have dropped their turns unfortunately.

Astro Boy 2 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I to had a wonderful comp in Sydney, I thought everything was fantastic ( except for trying to get out at the end of the night with all of our dogs, LOL) I was so pleased with all of our dogs racing, and couldnt believe the times Sadie was running for her Uncle Josh after 3 days of racing. Was also so very proud of Nikeeshas little papillion Ricky as he is fairly new to the game and ran so unbeliveable for the two days with some very tight crosses from Jess. Well Done everybody on a fantastic comp!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBailey Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 DC: I think she may have crossed onto your new girl in the pairs at Camberra nationals too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) These are the only photos i managed. My daughter was telling me about your dogs Lil Bailey (she said she spoke briefly with you at the Nationals) but with the handler swaps, i have no idea who you are http://picasaweb.google.com/1PJEVS/SydneyR...OrY19va9JmgkgE# let me know if the link doesn't work Cheers Edited April 15, 2009 by Squirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 No idea, that was my first comp with Canberra I have only just moved down here. I was with Norwest briefly (1 comp LOL) and Parramatta (PICSI) before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBailey Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Some nice shots there. I wish that Bailey would come up onto the box rather than catching it from underneth. Flea most have gone 4.1sec as that is the time on the board and Bailey was after Flea. Bet they wont run as fast this weekend at Hastings but that will be back to dirt not nice soft grass. I almost went in the ring with bear feet at one point. Opps ETA: Hubby runs White feral, I run Chocolate feral, SIL (both of them this time) run Bailey. Polly can't be bothered with flyball most of the time and Dudley never got it. I think he is part of the Weiners Rainbow Bridge team. We had the very cute staffy pup. SIL had the just a cute BC pup.

Squirt Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yes, pretty lucky with the grounds in NSW. I too got a pb from my girl the comp just before the Sydney Royal. Went to the Canberra Royal in Feb and one of my dogs ripped 3 pads in the first race of the day He tried so hard to hide it. The grounds were like cement. I think our club ended up with 4-5 dogs with ripped pads and there were plenty from other clubs too. A good reason to promote indoor racing Though i've heard the dogs 'burn' their feet instead...

LilBailey Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ausi dogs can burn their feet indoors because they slide. Some to the box and some just on to the motovator. In the US where they train indoors the dogs don't slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, i suspect mine is the motivator! I have issues with actual pads.... not those pads near the dew claws (if that makes sense). Not a sliding thing. I suspect he is just heavy in his running style and turns on his pads instead of slowing and turning (again, if that makes sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
