What a weekend :D *1 more pic added*

[cloverfdx]

Woweee what a weekend, we had a Flyball competition yesterday it was a charity event so no prizes or ribbons, which is great :D. Clover ran amazingly she was sooooo nuts and nearly ran a new best time (PB still is 5.45sec's 3 years ago) well she ran a 5.5sec's :eek:, now that aint bad for a 7.5 year old dog of her build.

Now onto Elvis, he had been having some problems with getting scared at compettions and then refusing to run.... well this was his second comp with our new team and because he has been coming along so well the last couple of months we decided to try run him all day.

He was doing so well untill he got a small fright and did not want to run. But i was able to get him back and focussed, and running again. In the end he had one little scare for the whole day and ran like a trooper... i am so proud of my bubba.

Whilst all the fun and games were going on Tinny slept in her crate and was not fussed about not getting to play & was more than happy to come out for a walk and play between racing.

Sorry 'bout rambling i am just a bit excited hehe :o. Pics to come.

[cloverfdx]

Thankyou :). Swap you for Jenny? hehe.

[luvofallhorses]

It's a deal..you must promise you'll give her back! :)

[Flatcoatluver]

:D omg looks like fun!!! I am in love with your little buddy Josh!! What a pretty flat-coat!! Great pics!

[Sevaede]

Aw! They are all so pretty! :D Yes, even the boys. :D

Where did you get that sausage toy? :eek: I want to find one for my doog!

[bckrazy]

GREAT Flyball pics, as always, Rhi! :) They're all so cute. Lucky you for being surrounded by such wonderful dogs. Congrats to you & Clover & Elvis!

This is OT, but I luuurve Bell's harness. I really want one for Gonzo, but they cost like $50. Do you have any experience with them? If so, do you think they're worth the cost?

[Ginger's Mom]

Good job, Elvis and Clover! They are both amazing dogs. Tinny will get her turn, I am sure. Great pictures. I particularly like the group shot. :)

[cloverfdx]

Thanks everyone :D.

Erica we have been making our own harness's for the dogs. Is it the Blackdog wear harness's you mean? they are australian made. If so you can get them alot cheaper than that, and they are realy easy to make ;).

A lady here in Aus makes them aswell and sells them for $25 au, i will email here and see if she ships overseas. Clover and Elvis have had there's for nearly a year now and they are wearing great.

[cloverfdx]

Bumpity ;).

A friend took this photo od Elvis, it is awesome...and i thought his turns were getting lazy.

[bckrazy]

Yes, I was talking about the Blackdog harnesses. There is NOTHING like that anywhere in the US that I've seen! =/ I have no idea why, they look like awesome harnesses. Aus is obviously ahead of the states when it comes to Flyball! hehe. I love the rainbow coloring, too! They look really cool, I'd love to get 2. A few people on my team might want some, too, so I could split shipping with them.

That's an awesome pic of Elvis! Nice swimmers turn! :)

[captain]

Oh Rhi - those are great pics!
But love the "speed turn" demon Elvis Shot!!!

[chocolatepuppy]

Great pics! It looks like a great day was had by all! :D

[Oggyflute]

Great pics Rhi, and way to go Elvis. :)

[cloverfdx]

Thanks again everyone :).

Erica the rainbow harness is home made, they are actually quite cheap and easy to make ;). But i will get the email adress of the lady who made Clover and Elvies harness's and get it to you.

[Miss Meow]

great pics and beautiful pups! :) I want Clover, can I have her? ;)

I am closer and will be nabbing her long before you get a chance! :D Clover and Elvis are beautiful dogs and I haven't had the pleasure yet of meeting the lovely Tinny :).

Rhi, if you are the Western Weiners, what am I gonna call the Sausage Dog flyball team? (Could you imagine everyone dying of laughter if a tribe of sausage monsters came out for their turn ... the jumps would have to be lowered to about an inch tall :p)

[Alysser]

Great pictures of some beautiful dogs.

[cloverfdx]

Nicole we were only a day late, Tinny came home the day after we met at lure coursing :D. Hehe Clover has been claimed many times over, i'm not even running her at Flyball at the moment (Team mate runs her).... wahhhhh i want my red dog back ;).

Thanks again everyone.

[wolfsoul]

We are going to start up a flyball club in my city, I can't wait, it looks like you always have fun.

[pnance]
