Ptolomy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 In WA the judges now have the option of doing 2 lots of stays one for those on a pass and one for those that aren't So what happens if only 1 dog is on a pass in that class? Does the judge who chooses this optiion ask for a couple of stand ins'? I know if there was only 1 dog on a non qualifying - then the dog would do stays by itself. We haven't had a case with only 1 dog on an open or UD pass. I have to admit not having a dog in novice at the moment I am not sure what would be done in this case. It is purely up to the judge whether they split the stays or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I thought there was a requirement of 3 dogs for days and I know that is written in the little blue book . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Ah sorry Ptolomy - my misunderstanding - they were talk was about furnishing stand in for non-qualifying stays. Well not sure if its usual or not but I when I was over there I was talked into doing a non-qualifying stay because somebody wished to do stays - that was at an open level. So maybe they still require 3 in order to run them. Edited August 20, 2009 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) OK my question is not about stays but it is about CCDIn agility I am having an issue of Kaos running off, and what I am going to do is to disqualify myself (telling the judge beforehand) and make up a small sequence that we can do so I can end on a good note before he runs off. Is it at all possible to do a similar thing in obedience? Say if you are having motivation or stress problems or something, is it possible to go out there, disqualify yourself and tell the judge, and have the judge call a small amount of heeling, and then finish? Or would that be exceedingly rude? If you told them beforehand, could you do a different exercise? Our judges in WA would allow it. I have had a dog struggling with heelwork - so I have helped her along and then done another exercise or two and left the ring on a positive note. In WA they have now introduced Not for Competition in obedience. It costs you half a normal entry and they put you at the end of the catalogue and you can go in and have the judge call a round for you and you can do what you like (except use food or toys). There are a few people using this in novice and CCD in preparation for the Nationals which are here in October. I was only just thinking about this today! Stop stealing my thoughts I am seriously considering entering an upcoming trial and entering both girls in NFC to see how we go in preparation for the Nationals. I was actually going to post and ask opinions on this, but you beat me to it! Edited August 20, 2009 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubystar - I think you might be running out of time - I don't think there are many trials left before the Nationals - so you better dig out your K9 News and check.
