Sayreovi Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Dusted off the old boy today and had him entered in a Rally trial. Damn dog blew me away and got a pass with a score of 94!!! Ended up 5th out of nearly 40 dogs, I am so proud of him, all his points lost were for slowish not perfect straight sits but if that's all the judge could find faulty in his performance than I am thrilled with that! I was feeling a bit ill before taking him in and had too keep talking myself into giving him a go, as he is the reason why I freak out in an obedience ring but glad I gave him a shot as he really surprised me. Not bad for a dog who hasn't trialled for nearly 8 years, and turns 11 this year :D The other two well, Darcy had his first go at Advance, went the usual with a pass of 87. At least he is consistent! We tend to lose alot of points as he heels so close if he looses focus (which he does often) and forgets what we were doing I bump into him. Jovi, I wasn't impressed with how she went as I know we can do so much better, she also managed a pass of 86 in Advance. Not often that she is the dud :p Edited June 30, 2013 by tollersowned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xena98 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hey ptolomy did you notice the champers dripping from the sky Today we had our 3 day event held at Gawler. It's like the 3 day event with the horses we have dressage which is the obedience. Cross country which is the agility and than show jumping which is the jumping lol. Had Gabby in UDX, UD and Open. Gabby came first in open with 190 and UD 184 got a substantial forgot what a silent drop was oops. But the biggest news is Gabby finally cracked in udx with a score of 186 with a substatial so that is the second leg of her Grand Champion The afternoon we did agility and jumping and Gabby won all of those classes as well. ADM,JDM,ADO and JDO and not only that she won the 3 day event as well What a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agility Dogs Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Very proud of all my 3 puppies at the moment. Xena has recently had to retire from agility at just 7 years young and has started her herding career. She achieved her HIC and PT on the same weekend. Now off to the Started a course. :) CK got his HIC on the same weekend, but only had one try at PT and found the sheep a little less than cooperative. LOL. Then on the weekend just gone he made the ADX final at the state titles and came third in SDX, GDX and SPDX. (Plus finished off his ADX title.) Wikki, the baby of the bunch also passed HIC, but hasn't had enough time on stock to pass PT just yet (and I didn't enter her in HT thinking it was harder than PT. D'oh! She too had a fantastic weekend at the State titles. Third place in SPD and made the finals of ADO, ADX (came second in the final) and JDX. This was my favourite run from the state titles - even though it was an elmination CK was growling at me from the third hurdle. LOVE LOVE LOVE this boy when he is in this mood. He's never going to be at the absolute top of the sport, but he is an awesome boy and heaps of fun to play with. :) Edited July 4, 2013 by Agility Dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Go Mr CK!!! He was certainly on fire there AD ... great stuff. My guys have an agility trial on Saturday - will be interesting, since other than the weavers in the back yard a couple of days, Kirra has done no agility training for a month - and Rory hasn't had a chance to consolidate what we learnt with Nancy Gyes in Sydney .. he's been busy with Rally and obedience. I just have to try to remember to stay calm!!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 An agility friend and I were reminiscing about a Stacy Peardot-Goudy seminar we went to .. and remembering Stacy saying "There don't need to be two frantic people out there!" Actually, I'm still on a high from Rory getting his CDX last weekend, so he's on a bit of a free pass :D . and Kirra has a Senior's pass to go out there and have fun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xena98 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 well we were at Port Adelaide obedience and rally trial. Was a quiet day only had Gabby in UDX and she wasnt a good girlie at all. I think I had used up her quota last weekend. Could only do the seekback didnt know what a stand was in the HIM back to the drawing board once again. Had Inka in Rally Novice and what a good girlie she was won the class with a 100 points and her title so off to advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Naughty Gabby .. you're right - reckon she'd used up all her goodness for the moment. But for Inka - now you can get rid of the silly lead. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 whoops - sorry RV - I missed your post - fantastic effort to get possible 6, 7 or 8 little kids + mum around a track two. Good luck with the next BIG adventure - looking forward to seeing lots and lots of photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xena98 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Just back from the state championship. Not a bad day considering we did have rain. Proud of both of my girls. Gabby won master snooker and master gamblers and the strategic pairs masters well we have to wait for the next trial for our last pass for the title. Inka got a third in master gamblers mummy did an oopsie in master snooker and yep master strategic pairs was a bit of a flop lol. Afternoon Inka passed all four classes and Gabby won ADM and JDO and a third in JDM and an oopsie in open agility. So as it stands now Inka is in all four finals and Gabby is in three just need to pass open agility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
