wuffles Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well done Spartan, Jazz, Gabby and any other superstars I've missed! We had our first two Rally Excellent courses last night and got a Q in both. We also have a bunch of different breeds competing here in Canberra. One of my friends got her first Rally Novice Q with her jack russell x pug, and another with a little terrier cross Just a note on the pivot ST, I have a bung right knee and foot, and I don't find it difficult... I lift my heel while keeping my toes on the ground and no judges have had a problem with that I think the most difficult for some handlers are multiple serpentines or spirals because those can make you so dizzy! However I do believe some of the exercises are difficult for older dogs... but I guess still passable, so you just have to find what works for you and your dog.

piper Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Xena98 - Gabby's runs were great to watch. She did very well, as always. I bet you will be glad for next Saturday though and not having to go in every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked my husband to film my run with my phone but he couldn't get it to work Mind you only half was worth watching anyway. LOL All you need to enter now is Dancing with Dogs and you would have a full week of competing!! And with Gabby's tricks you should put her in for freestyle :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And well done on agility piper - that's hard for baby dogs having table near the lovely people . Yes was a bit tough - I do wonder if the ring had been reversed what would have happened but really not worried. I enter Royals with the thought that I am there to promote responsible dog ownership and my breed as well as provide some entertainment. A pass is just an added bonus :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know when we enter that there will be public and we knew it would be Saturday night and that means busy. On the up side, 1 of the ladies manning the DogsSA info stand during the evening said they were giving out a lot of club info for clubs offering agility and that is what it is all about. Anyway, that is enough on that as it is a bit offtopic fo the brags thread :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xena98 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 nah that didnt worry me at all only that people were using flash lights as the dogs were jumping towards them. Yep if you enter the royal you have to put up with it lol my dogs just love the atmosphere and go just a tad crazy. I could here the ohhing and the ahhhings and I think it made Gabby go faster lol especially when she was doing the weaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I entered the obedience at the Royal once, had Millie in Novice and she started off going great guns, til we heeled to the other end of the ring and she caught sight of all the spectators. She stood there like this at them all and couldn't get her to heel again! Didn't know she'd be the type to suffer from stagefright!! Well done xena98, ripper run!!
