Agility Dogs Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 We had a great time at the ADAA trial at Suncoast last night. CK did a really good job and managed to win his class in Snooker with that run. He also got a card in the 'Power and Speed' game, despite some woeful weaving after getting a fright in the weaves in his second run and 'forgetting' how to weave again - at least I have a project for the week now. (He did weave VERY well at training tonight though.) Xena had a great night as well. This one was her best run, although my usually brilliant camera person missed the first jump. LOL. She also got a card for Power and Speed and just missed out on Advanced - knocked one bar. Snooker was a bit of a mess for her. So.........She now has her MAAD3 (Masters Australian Agilty Dog). And my litte brag for me for the night - I managed my 100th card which gives me my bronze handler award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wow so many brags this weekend!!!!!!! Congrats to everyone! Like ness said, so many brags that I am scared to miss one so I am going to do the chicken's way out and just bulk congratulation everybody What an absolutely fantastic weekend I had!!! Day 2 today of the WA State Agility Trial. Yesterday Ruby got a clear round for her JD title, while in Novice Agility, Millie got a clear round for 1st and Ruby also got a clear round for 2nd. Today, both girls went clear in Novice Jumping, getting 5th (Millie) and 6th (Ruby). They also both went clear in Novice Agility, getting 4th (Millie) and 5th (Ruby). Both trials today there was less than 1 second between them!!! I think that is too freaky They both made it to the finals in AD and JD. Both bombed in Agility, messing the weavers up! They like doing things the same, adds to the freaky factor In Jumping, Millie ran around the 3rd last jump on the home stretch, while Ruby went clear Sadly we didn't win, but we were beaten out by another Labrador so all is good in the world!! ;) Couldn't be happier with my 2 girlies!!!! They really did me so, so proud!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue & Waldo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks all!Sue & Cindy - it was really lovely to meet you today. At least now I won't be looking for a Golden Retriever on the end of your lead I think you should change your avatar Tassie - well done with Mr Rory....don't worry, we all have those "shame about the handler moments"! PMSL @ the RATs Ooooh, congratulations to DSO and Jess also on the JD title I bow to a superior trainer and changed my avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey thanks Ptolomy! I did enjoy a drink or 2 last night. Still grinning too xena98 - they are great results You are very hard on yourself!!! AD - you sound like you're having a ball. 'Power and Speed' sounds very cool RS - you must be exhausted after all that. Congratulations on the passes and the title I'm so not looking forward to having 2 dogs to run Sue & Cindy - I just don't think that's the most flattering photo of Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agility Dogs Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 AD - you sound like you're having a ball. 'Power and Speed' sounds very cool Yeah, the work is finally really starting to pay off for us. The puppies aren't suffering quite as much at the hands of a bad handler and their skills are pretty good now. Power and Speed is heaps of fun, especially for dogs that have a particular weakness. This is CK's run, a good example of how, because the first 1/2 is not timed you can make up for any problems in the second half. Because he made the one error on the weavers (2, but only counted as one because he got the entry first time), he had 5 seconds added to his time for the second half of the course (from the jump after the dog walk.) For this one the course time was 23 seconds (about 6m per second!!) and he did it in about 13 so 13+5 = 18 which meant he was still 5 seconds under course time and qualified - in second place. FTR - he hasn't really been beaten for weaving, it just looks that way. Something happened in the weavers on his second run of the night and he decided he didn't want to weave. I let him run past them for the rest of the night, but I was determined to get him through them in this event, even if it looked like it did. Turned out for the best too - last night at training he was back to his best. Hopefully that is the dog I get at our next trial as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 AD - I just watched the video and it looked to me like he dropped his bundle after the see-saw and the weavers were a by-product of that. Could that be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agility Dogs Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 AD - I just watched the video and it looked to me like he dropped his bundle after the see-saw and the weavers were a by-product of that. Could that be possible? Nope. I can see that it really looks like that, but is def not the case. He was paddling around after the see saw because I was basically walking. I 'broke' his weaves for the night in his second run. Not sure if he slipped and hurt himself or just slipped and got a scare, but either way he definitely decided that he wasn't weaving any more after that. This is another of his runs where he did a similar thing. It's been an ongoing battle - he hurt himself trying too hard when he was younger and now it only takes the slightest thing to shut him down for the night. He is getting better over time though. One day........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Rounds from today, including the finals:Ruby - Millie - The girls are looking good RS A question for the confuzzled.....do you compete within your height class in WA? Thanks :D They are really coming along! Ruby didn't miss a beat in jumping all weekend! The only thing she fluffed out of 6 runs over the weekend was her agility final The girls both measure at 53cm so are in the 500 jump height, which is what they compete at. I hope that answers your question? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I just remembered a funny from the trial. Millie got special mention at the presentations for the best heeling into the ring Thank goodness she got a clear round so she could prove she is more than just an obedience dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
