Astro Boy 2 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi, i can't wait either, this time in 5 weeks we will have just been to the Australian zoo. What other Vic. teams are going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 We are going (Berwick) The only teams i can think of at the moment who are going, is Weiners, Ballarat (2 teams) and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yep we will be there. The way the dogs have been behaving the last few weeks i think they will be walking there ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wherezaball Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yep we will be there. Looking forward to it just like you guys. Anyone competing in the Singles and Pairs on the Friday? I'm not ... don't want to wear out the dog.... or me!!!! Will be there watching though. Where are the Vic teams staying on the way up? We found a place dog friendly place at Nambucca Heads for the Wednesday night. Then leaves only about 4-5 drive for the Thursday. Leaves plenty of time to pitch my tent.... which I will need!!!! I can't wait to see the sub 18 second team run. I hope they make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJack Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'll be there too, my club is taking a few teams. Some of us are doing the singles and pairs as well on the friday. I think I'll just do pairs with one of my dogs. Also camping, should be fun Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Wherezaball - You are part of the 17 second team? (Cant remember who did it) We are staying at Dubbo, both on the way there and back. The Berwick team arent all travelling together either LOL, some will already be up there way before hand, someone is flying up the day before and the rest of us are driving up. None of us are doing the events before hand, IMO it was a stupid idea to do it the day before 2 days of racing. Not only is there a risk of injury it would also wear the dogs out and create problems in the last day of racing. It will be interesting to see how many dogs actually do it. We arent camping, we found a house that will allow dogs (not inside) and accomodate the 15 or so people staying Edited May 1, 2007 by tollersowned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to do pairs with my Rottie x, but she is not entered in a team for the weekend comp so cannot enter it...which i think sucks (She has only been playing Flyball for 5 years) . We are staying in Dubbo for a couple of days on the way home, going to the zoo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wherezaball Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yep it was Norwest Thunderdogs 1 who ran under 18 recently. I was not in the team for that comp but I am for MPW and Nationals. Hopefully we can do it again. We should on our first runs of the day when the dogs are fresh. We have a fabby new 11 inch height dog who can run under 5 seconds. I think the singles and pairs are good idea and the AFA are just trying to introduce the concept to Australian flyballers and the Nationals are a good place as everyone gets together. Plus it gives us a day to socialise before the main event. Hopefully the concept will then take off in other states. Would compete in it if it was a one day comp and no the Nationals. Most of us are camping. Geese I hope it doesnt rain like Canberra 2 years ago when we camped in caravans and it poured rain for 2 days. Wherezaball - You are part of the 17 second team?

Guest Clover Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Geese I hope it doesnt rain like Canberra 2 years ago when we camped in caravans and it poured rain for 2 days. Wasn't that fun . We had soaking wet clothes hanging from the all the ceiling rafters of our cabin. That was my Elvis' first Nationals aswell, he did so well.

We had soaking wet clothes hanging from the all the ceiling rafters of our cabin. That was my Elvis' first Nationals aswell, he did so well. I remember that nationals as it was Sadies first as well. I also remeber the rain and one handler doing a near nudie run while carrying his now fiance on piggy back up the caravan parks driveway while his clothes were drying at the laundry. We are going to watch the comp on Friday but not competing as i didn't want to risk Sadies performance for the weekend. (Depending on her mood she may not run anyway but i didn't want to push my luck). I think the pairs and single event is a great idea, but i think it should have been held on the Monday not the Friday and then those people that wanted to stay on could have and it would not have interrupted or tired the dogs out for the two day national teams comp.
