Gogee Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I just have to remember which dogs are friendly. Ie I will be the one with a spotty dog that is not a dalmation saying "is your dog friendly" because mine wants to say hello to everybody, because she takes friendly to grovelly extremes. Ours can be unfriendly at times to other dogs (if they get in their faces), so we'll be sitting in the back row like I said before ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogee Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Do you turn down Tozer road to get to the car park? Or before you hit Tozer road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafhafa Hounds Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) There's a gate off Tozer Road which is always open, and a gate off Park Road, which is open when the shooting club is open. You'll drive past the Park Road gate - if it's not open continue down to Tozer Road. You can see the track from Park Road, so you won't have any issues figuring it out - assuming you can find Park Road!! bahahhahaha edit cos eye carnt spel Edited October 15, 2011 by Hafhafa Hounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui835 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hi guys, unfortunately I will not be able to make tomorrow anymore. There has been a tragedy in my partner's family, and so we are leaving for Melbourne tomorrow at 6:35am. I hope everyone has a really great time Trevor lives really close by to the track, and so for the people who are still going, you will just need to call Trevor when you're on your way. Numbers are 08 8520 2347 and/or 0417 878 511. These numbers are available publicly on a few websites so I hope it's ok to post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 jacqui835 Sorry to hear your sad news. Hope someone good is looking after your dobe Sammy. I've written down the phone numbers. Will call when I get to Gepps Cross. Seems a bit mean to call as I leave from down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogee Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Sorry to hear that Jacqui I hope everything is ok. We all had a great time today, don't think there were as many as the last meet(?) so everyone got at least 2 runs. I'm posting some pics below, but have also uploaded them all on my Facebook link directly below. I'm sure some of the others will post their pics here too :D Lure racing pics Indi the Saluki doing his gallop Salukis Saffie and Layla being competitive White GSD Apex(? hope that's right) doing his thing Saffie and Layla again, still flying! Meg the Kelpie Asha the Pharaoh Hound...she didn't really "get it", and preferred to lick my face more than run Frosty(?) who absolutely loved every second of the chase Indi again, this time giving his glamour look at 100 miles an hour Indi still flying and lastly, one of the Greyhounds who were exercising before we started edited to add, I was a bit unsure how our two would go around other dogs they hadn't met before.....but they were fine, and I think Indi even found a new girlfriend!

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Frosty loved it. She wanted that lure so bad. And the lure train and the lure train squirrel... But I need to do some serious fitness work... ie she can run 150 up and 150 back flat out and then 250m up but not quite 300m and jog back. I thought she might be unwilling to run away from me - but that wasn't a concern and it didn't matter we'd done exactly zero lure chase trainig - tho the lure did bear a strong resemblence to a bungy tug I use. First thing she did when we got home was a high speed cat patrol of the back yard - so everything is working fine. Thanks for the pix, InSha-llah. Thanks for organising, Jacqui.

Looks like a great day was had :D I LOVE Indi's glamour look, how talented of him to run so fast AND look like a supermodel at the same time! I'm muchly looking forward to taking Bella along in the 30th, her recall has gotten very good (I'm rather impressed with her!) so hopefully she won't be too difficult to catch afterwards- though it looks like running back to their human parents is half the fun!

Bully Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Great pics :D Looks like Frosty had a blast Hopefully Pele and I will make the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) PS debrief after. We need to give Trevor 7 days notice - using the phone number on the greyhound lure coursing website and then he can post notice to close the track for our time. And then a follow up call maybe the day before and it would be cancelled if the forecast or temp is 30'C or over because that's too hot for the dogs. http://www.sacoursing.com/index.htm Next possible date suggested was the Sunday after the Staffy meet on 30th ie Sunday November 6th from about 9am to 10:30am (if I remember right).

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Frosty went screaming flat out up for the 150m run, hit the sand in a huge spray, and then turned around and bolted back 150m + 20m and then proceeded to indulge in a game of chase-me. She was much easier to catch at the end of the 250m+250m runs. And she did a lot of barking at everything that looked vaguely like a running critter.

I'm impressed that most of the dogs did the up and back pretty easily, even the 600m run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
