Iron dog Challange!
well an iron dog challage is being planned over here its not for almost a year now, but I think its sounds like fun, and I think Happy has an exellent chance of winning the iron dog title ;) here are the events:
Flyball ? *Single dog run, 8 inch jumps. Score based on line to line
time. Every dog gets three attempts the fastest time is used
Agility ? *NADAC Equipment and heights but AAC Nationals rules. Will include all equipment. (weave poles..skip em -20 lure thru with some food.. only -5)
*Disc ?* 40 second time limit as many catches over the line as you can complete ? 4 feet in the air at the time of catch for a 5 pt bonus (dog doesn't do disc? can sub any item including food tubes)
*Steeplechase ?* Lured course over jumps and thru a tunnel or two racing the clock
*Rally Obedience ? *Novice level course. 10 pt bonus for doing it off leash
*Trailing and Locating ? *Follow a food based scent to it's source. timed
*Puissance ? *Highest jump earns top points landing on crash matress
*Barrel Racing ? *Run the clover pattern in the fastest time you and your dog can (I can hear you all practicing your "GET AROUND"'s now)
*Broad Jump- *Ever expanding width.
*Weight Pull ? *Dog who pulls heighest percent of it's own weight on a sled.
Happy is trained in flyball, agility, frisbee,off leash rally-o, weight pull, trailing and locating, and barral racing, she could eaisly do the steeplechase, and brod jump, and with a little work the high jump as well, she is good at everything she does lol I think she would easly be in the running being named iron dog
