Tassie Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yep - good luck from down here too. Track and Search trial for us - not too hopeful - Kirra still thinks it's a speed sport - when she settles down she's doing nicely, but the start could be very ugly - still, it's all good fun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well we got 3rd place with a score of 71/100 after a countback, at the Melb Royal yesterday, most of us competitors floped on the recall cause the judge had the dogs come towards the crowd behind us hadlers we were not given a choose which end we wanted. 20 dogs entered, 16 dogs partcipated, dont know about the bitches, they are on today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Not many quallies today. Rain pouring sideways, ankle deep water. Result a dog that refused to sit or drop. Add insult to injury with a poo in the ring Finished up on 118 and third place. Only one quallie in novice. Open ended up with a few as the rain paused for a bit and the sun came out. Doing winners part now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 sounds really ugly in Melbourne - tough luck guys. Kirra did some really nice work for me in her TSD 2 - but did lie to me at one point (or air scent) and tried very convincingly to cut off one of the legs of the track. Pity, cos the rest of it was very pretty - except that at the start, it took Kirra telling me three times which way it went before I listened to her and clipped the harness on and let her go. Oops - bad momma! She had lots of fun though, and it was some of the nicest tracking she's done - and lovely article indication - good girlie. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say there is no need for a judge to go out of their way to make it hard for CCD dogs and at the Royal too Is this your title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoilt lab lives here Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well today we had a great run! Heeling was good, stand for exam was good but! On the recall when I left him he stood up to scratch and we bombed! I couldn't be mad at that lol so we copped that on the him, got some good comments from the judge and we are back in the ring tomorrow. Looking forward to another good run tomorrow a Complete run tomorrow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got our CCD title 2 weeks ago at Ballaarat Trials, so yesterday was for the hell of it & have fun , we had nothing to loose. it actually surprised a few ppl that a Whippet could do Obedience even the judge The open class was done after lunch & they were given the option of choosing which end for Recall, all the other classes were done before lunch. A little birdie told me latter in the day, the judge got ticked off about not giving us morning competitors the choose in the Recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Well I had a really good training day. I got the ALphabet drills book yesterday afternoon and decided to try it out today. It was great adn it made me more aware of my body language after Lewis missing a couple of jumps becasue my body language was not commited to the jump. He did some great run throughs though and looked like a real agility dog. He also was on fire with his heeling and did a great recall. I am soo excited as around 10 weeks ago I trod quite hard on his foot while doing agility and he refuse to do any obstacles and was showing some very strong stress signals. He is now back to happy happy flying dog and I couldn't be happier. Rommi did great obedience as well, did a perfect COP (Novice) and found her recall again. We didn't do jumping with her as although she was not lame she hurt her toe a few days ago. She also had great focus.

murve Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Resized to 70% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlargeResized to 70% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlarge my daughter took these pic's at the Royal yesterday even though the sun was out, there was still a cold wind & Ido feel the cold well they do say dogs are like their handlers or is it the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzledx2 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well day one of the Royal over and our team LABB Tested (Lab, Aussie and two Borders) won the Agility and came second in the Jumping..Yay!!! Brookie did a couple of really nice runs which for the amount of training he has had was impressive!!! People kept asking why I don't run him in agility more often...nah!!!! Very hot in the afternoon and not a lot of room or shade when the sun comes in later on. Will be interesting tomorrow when the full contingent of agility competitors are there. We are having a rest day with Obedience on the Monday. Not feeling particularly confident as its an incredibly distracting ring...much harder than our old grounds up the top. Looks like we'll be having UDX, UD, Open, Rally demo, Novice and CCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for the heads up Bedazzled and well done on your agility results - it reminds me of a certain red dog last year. Which begs the question.....how much agility training do you do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) I always laugh at how Brooklyn (and Ptolomy's Scoota) do when you dust them off to trial in agility - they always seem to do brilliantly - not bad at all for part-time agility dogs ;). Good luck for Monday - fingers crossed. ETA. I seem to remember a certain red dog doing similar at the Royal in Adelaide that year - not only did well in the obedience but came out and did really well in the agility as well.

spoilt lab lives here Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well no title this weekend! Pouring rain today and he move 4 feet in SFE! Not to worry, he heeled well and didnt miss a beat! Was very happy with his working this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Bugger SLLH but glad to hear you are happy with the way he worked. As for us well the sit stay god was missing in action today and the injury devil appears to have returned - Kenz managed a very respectable individual round and I think might have been in first place prior to stays but when I got her out of her crate before stays she was one very sore girl . I did attempt them with her but I had a feeling it wouldn't come off and nope she went down in her sit stay . Never mind she got her title yesterday and I am still on cloud nine - today was always just going to be a training round and I certainly know what needs work before we go off to play in open.
