Bully Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I am so jealous. Frosty was a bit exhausted this morning. I could not persuade her to come to the beach. We had a really big day yesterday, but no more so than Pele the BT. So not much of an excuse. Maybe the next one if it doesn't clash with the club obedience comp. I was humming and ha-ing this morning about going. Had to wake Pele up - she doesn't do mornings So glad we did, it was great Frosty will love it :D Pele only did the half course, about 150 metres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have Greyhound - retired racer who is 9 1/2 - wonder if he would have been up for a run??!!! Please let us know details of the next run- we would love to come along.

Robbi Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Aargh, how did I not see this thread Yogi would have loved to have gone lure coursing. Earl and Rosie look like naturals, Rosie was channeling Yogi by the look of the photos. Pele is the most versatile girl I know, she pops up everywhere doing everything, last time I saw her she was about to go in the ring for Neuter in show Count me in for the next big lure gathering.

Yogi would have loved it :D You've got to come next time. Pele is a girl of many talents besides supervising the BBQ at DOL meets Saturday was a mock agility trial, next weekend an obedience trial, she also does tracking as well as being a show girl. Now she's a racing dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many runs did everyone do? Trish Not to worry - there's always next time... and the time after that... and then once more!! I think we all agreed we'd be back. Most dogs did either 1 or 2 runs. I think Sammy did an extra, and may have needed 5 or 10 more!! Some of us started at 150m for the first run - a warm up... but those rotten Salukis just turned around at the end and coming romping back to mum!! ;) In fact most dogs seemed to have a decent recall...

Sonia My money's on Sammy at Angle Park Sammy is a great adverstisement for anyone who thinks they can handle a dog from working lines... We love his energy - keeps us motivated when we go mountain climbing etc but the truth is he needs 1+ hours exercise a day, and literally one whole day of each weekend (preferably both though) just spent doing exercise - and if you think he crashes after that, you're wrong. I will definitely be taking him again. The petshop we go to decided Sammy was too skinny, so he just been switched onto a performance/working food - so who knows how many laps he will need next time... Trevor said the next time the track is available is the 16/10, so I will be heading up then and will grab numbers of everyone who wants to come too a bit closer to the event.

My WGSD Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I saw this topic and just had to join. Have been looking to get out German Shepherd into some different dog sports in an attempt to wear him out. This sounds perfect! Is the 16th definitely on? How much per run is it? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 They only charged us all member prices :D So a run cost $4, I don't think anyone did more than two. Well I think almost all the dogs came running back to their owners anyway, so really they ran twice the distance. (and a bit more if you're a cheeky husky ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Can't do the 16th (obedience trial), but the 30th sounds good Pele is entered in shows both 29 and 30 Oct, but will hopefully get her last 4 points for Neuter Champion on 29th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogee Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We'll be there with a saluki and pharaoh on the 16th. Is it an 8am start? Both of ours can occasionally be dog reactive if another dog gets in their faces....so we'll be the ones hanging in the back row LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
