Sir Sniffalot Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Has anyone done the Canberra ET and can tell me what the track is like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Canberra is a great course through the showgrounds. It was very wet when I judged there last year (torrential rain). I think Jenny Kenworthy has changed the date to TBA as she would like a better climate and less risk of cold and rain to conduct the ET. When I last spoke with her, she thought it may be held in September. Good luck! M Abbiestar commented on the Canberra ET earlier...

Abbiestar Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Abbiestar commented on the Canberra ET earlier... Not much to go on though The ET in Canberra is held at the showgrounds. It is mainly level though there are a few small hills as you go down to different tiers of level land. It covers mainly gravelled areas and grass and a smaller amount of bitumen. The course itself is very well designed and, as the crow flies, you do not get too far away from the starting point at the GSD clubrooms. It is a good course and I think well worth the effort to travel to and enter. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sniffalot Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We might stop doing laps of the footy grounds now and get out and tackle some small hills, besides each time we do a lap and get back to the car he slows down as if to say " mum you missed my stop" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CaptainCourageous Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Someone mentioned yesterday that the Dally ET site is nice. I've only ever done Cherry Lake (four times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiestar Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Someone mentioned yesterday that the Dally ET site is nice. I've only ever done Cherry Lake (four times). Hi CC, I judged the Dally Club ET in 2009 at Tatterson Park in Keysborough. Personally, I prefer Cherry Lake, but the Dally Club venue is also good. The grounds are mainly gravel, a little bit of grass and not too much bitumen. It is held around the Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough. It is completely level ground, no hills. If wet, it could be a bit slushy. Like Cherry Lake, the grounds are also open to and shared with the public whilst the ET is in operation.

Yes, they are running two groups. Last year they had about 40 entrants, so it needed to be over two groups. Group 1 will start at 10.00am and Group 2 at 10.30.

Sir Sniffalot Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wow that is a good turnout, we are heading up from Vic if anyone wants to tag along. Isaac's training is going great he's so different to Hamish, really nice and relaxed off to obedience to tackle that side of things with the little show pony.

RubyStar Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 RS - that's what happens when you start getting blase about titles ;) murve, that's what Dogs Tas does if you don't pay extra for fast tracking. I won't be blase about a CDX if/when that comes my way, let me assure you!!! Or a retrieving related one :p Hey Tassie Got the CDX title on Sunday and submitted the title application first thing Monday :rofl: Only took me a couple of weeks to submit the AD! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 So do we take it that the CDX meant more - or that you sweated more blood to get it. Good luck to those doing ET this weekend - may the weather gods smile on you, and may you enjoy it as much as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Are there people out there who you could pay to be a runner instead of bike riding ?? I havea dog who i would like to ET title but the bike aspect isn't his thing BUT he is a great steady runner & i believe would prefer this method .
