pie Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) It's a 29 hour drive for us to Adelaide, as opposed to a 47 hour drive to Brisbane - just around the corner :laugh: ETA Poor Tassie has to travel regardless - no Nationals down there!

Tassie Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It's a 29 hour drive for us to Adelaide, as opposed to a 47 hour drive to Brisbane - just around the corner :laugh: ETA Poor Tassie has to travel regardless - no Nationals down there! 3 hours, then overnight on the ferry - including a couple of hours waiting in queues :laugh: , and then about 8 hours or so to Adelaide ... way shorter - but way more expensive. LOL And no - although we do have some lovely grounds, there's no way we could put on Nationals . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podengo Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Is there anywhere posting live commentary from the event at all? Results as the classes finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Is there anywhere posting live commentary from the event at all? Results as the classes finish? DD, I wouldn't think so - all the people I know on the organising committee are going to be flat chat between organizing and competing. But there maay be something on the FB page. 2014 Queensland Agility Nationals. Teams events today - no Tasmanian team this year - who to support ... I know ... everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elise+Hudson Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Some photos I got today - mostly of the 500 Novice Jumpers but a few others (mostly 500 dogs). https://www.facebook.com/elise.lenske/media_set?set=a.10152970646603662.1073741832.836443661&type=1 Will try and move around to get some more the next few days, just getting the nerves settled today! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Fantastic photos!! Thanks for sharing :) Did you have any runs today E+H? Oh and GOOOOOOOOOO W.A.!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise+Hudson Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 We had 2 runs - Novice agility and jumpers. Agility was DQ he had great fun running 2 little joy laps though and certainly tried to show everyone how much fun can be had! Only just 2 faults in our jumpers run - handler error (isn't that always the case) so we ended up 27th of 58 dogs. I had so much fun in the Jumpers once my nerves had settled down after the first run! I will continue to get some photos over the next few days and hopefully try and get a few of each group.

Podengo Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yes so pleased :D NZ dogs are doing really well, looks like a few have been knocking the spread jump though, something we don't use here very often! Might have to use it a bit more :D Hope some Aussies are planning trips to NZ nationals, we have one every year :) Been seeing photos and videos of some interesting breeds that we don't see doing agility here either which is fun!

Tumbleweed Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Is there anywhere posting live commentary from the event at all? Results as the classes finish? You can find the results here http://agilitynationals2014.com.au/results/ The results went up pretty soon after competition ended yesterday. I'm assuming it will be the same each day. I'm with you Pie... :thumbsup: Go WA! They did such a brilliant job. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
