Kenzie's open jumping round was brilliant, she's fantastic in the weave poles too! Never mind, she has many more trials ahead!

Here are my two videos from Friday night, thanks to ozjen for being camera lady:

He's a bit slower than normal (so was I :laugh: ) But we were both very scared :laugh: Need to find some good motivation for him, food doesn't really cut it in these situations!!

Well done Amy you guys did very well!!

Love the vids Amy! I saw your jumping round in person but missed your agility one, so was great to see it!!

Where are your spies, Ness? :wave:

Ziggy and I arrived home last night from the 13th Dalmatian Nationals in Sydney! We drove up last week and had a fun time camping whilst our timber floors were sanded and polished. Saturday arrived and it was much warmer and muggier than either of us would have liked - his Cool Coat was invaluable but the heat was very draining.

Zig put aside the difficulties of traveling, camping and a warm day to put in a lovely round of Novice Obedience - 190/200, 1st place and.........Best in Trial :thumbsup: It was lovely to see Dallies doing UDX, UD, Open, Novice and CCD....not all could see the point of obedience :rofl: but it was a great morning.

If that wasn't enough, Ziggy went on to put in a great run in Novice Agility for our first qually and 1st place :) I was doubly impressed because he had never seen a 'winged' jump in his life and the contact equipment and tyre looked a bit different to what he was used to. Nailed his contacts and his weavers, which he has only learned in the last few weeks. Even gave me a look of disgust when I didn't ask him to touch coming down the A-frame - who's training who? :eek:

We also had a lovely run in Open Jumping - to my great delight he nailed the distance challenge......until an unfortunate incident on the last jump where a steward decided to move his treat bag/tug toy from where I had left it out of sight to right outside the ring exit on the ground with his lead. Zig spied it after he took the 2nd last jump (I usually get someone to throw it when he jumps the last jump) and just bolted out of the ring, grabbed the tug and brought it back to me. He was so pleased with himself so I sent him over the last jump and then had a great big game with him. We had another run, but Zig was getting tired and we had one fault. It was still good enough to earn him 2nd place :thumbsup:

By the time we got to Novice Jumping, he was starting to fade - ran beautifully but just tipped a bar, which is a rarity for him. However, he had done more than enough for me for one day and I'm really glad I didn't enter him in the Open/Champ Show as he was absolutely exhausted! One of the highlights of the day was having Ziggy's breeders there, who hadn't seen him since he was 8 weeks old. It was very special and we also met several Spotted DOLers and lots of Dally people.....there were 195 Dals entered in the Champ Show!!!

Well done to everyone else who had some successes this weekend - I apologise for not having read the thread fully but we are busily unpacking and putting furniture back amongst everything else.

Here's some pics...

I had the practice trial Sunday and thought I'd be really nervous but when I was in the ring I was fine, just concentrated on what I was doing, it wasn't unti I left the ring I looked around and thought I hope no one was watching :thumbsup: .

Yep I'm okay once I'm in and running running, it's the waiting to go in and trying to prevent Kyzer from freaking out that gets me nervous, which wasn't easy because of how close they put the rings together on the weekend, with a very narrow walkway in between!

This Saturday should be less nerve racking for both of us because it's on the bottom oval where we normally train and there's a lot more space. :thumbsup:

I am getting better, I felt like I was going to vomit and faint when we went to the Show'n'Go in Feb :rofl:
