Regular Agility Compettitors?

[GreyhoundGirl]

Sorry but for some strange reason they ( judges ) didn't give us our scores or times, they just told us who won. I'm sure i was well under the time limit, though because she just went blasting through the course . ( it was really quite funny, she didn't slow down for the weaves, she just expected them to jump out of her way, i was amazed when she actually did them correctly at that speed ) I haven't seen any other Greyhounds in agility, but my girl has never had any trouble with turns.

I do agility with my mix, Pixie ^^

[GreyhoundGirl]

C'mon people, There's gotta be more agility doggies than that. We wanna see them !

Everyone's pictures are really cute! Your girl is a Greyhound mix, right? You said she was like 30", she looks more like 20"

I do not have any pictures from matches. =P Not even Rally-O! Gonzo has only done prenovice Agility, but here's a training picture that I have.

Jenny and I were at a competition today. We didn't win. Oh well. We have another K9 Kup tommaro, YAY !!!

"Your girl is a Greyhound mix, right? You said she was like 30", she looks more like 20" "


Yes, she is a greyhound mix. I just measured her. She is just over 28" inches.(shoulders ) You can even tell by the photo. She goes right from my knees to my chest. I can't wait untill tommaro ! YAY !!!!

The only thing is... I'm competing against the dreaded. . . BORDERLINES !!!!! All PUREBRED ( thier team doesn't accept mixs ) border collies, that are very smart and super well-trained for agility.


My team of mix-matched breeds ( 3 aussies, 1 shetland sheepdog,1 husky mix, 1 greyhound mix ( guess who ? ! ) 1 boxer, 1 lab, and 1 bichon frisé mix. Sorry if I missed anyone !) have never beaten them. They are too good. My team has good jumpers ( Babe, Cricket ) good weavers ( Cutter, Molly ) fast dogs ( Jenny, Dean ) and good contacting dogs ( Kolby, Buddy ). But there team has good everything ! We can't compete with them.

Maybe tommaro we'll beat them. We'll show them you don't have to be pure bred. Show them that we make a good team, and we're just as good as all there specially-trained dogs. ( positively yet competitively) WE"LL SHOW "EM !

( consults dog, who is lying at feet. ) You will beat them, won't you, Jenny?

Then she gives me the look that clearly says " Yea, right, not in a million years ! " ( I won't even try ")


He He, like the way I wrote my post?

( it's just for fun, there are no titles or anything. But I thought it would be funny to write my post this way. Not the colour. It seems like I wrote it from a different point of view..... )

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I don't compete in agility with any of mine. I'd love to with Tango, but she needs to work on her doggy skills and focusing on me. If a dog were to bark or growl, all attention on me is lost and she's off to see which dog was barking...hopefully someday though. If not with her, definitley my next dog.

The way I taught Jack to weave was to make a channel with some pieces of chicken wire type stuff. I started with all of them on and slowly took one peice of the fencing away until he was doing it reliably. He is just about perfect with his weaves, since its one of the few pieces of equipment I own, and he is incredibly quick too.

Here are some incredibly bad pictures of the channel thing.

We have our first trial with Nova in August... Here's a picture of a dog I bred that competes in agility often.

[GreyhoundGirl]

GREAT IDEA !!! I've gotta put a fence around my weaves like that !! Thanks in advance soo much ! Great pics everyone ! Luvgold was that agility indoor or outdoor?

[GreyhoundGirl]

Here are my pics of yesterdays trial. It was sooo hot ! The dogs were jumping soooo low. The judge actually let us change the jump hieghts to our preference. I changed Jenny's from 26" ( what she usually jumps ) to 16". It was soooo hot !!!

here they are.

This is my favourite. You can really see the effort I put into keeping up with Jenny. This action-shot turned out great.



This one has a lovely judge in it. NICE !!! It also has her mid-air, though...



No butts about it-Jen's HOT !! or "Enough photo's, dad." Jenny going up the dog-walk



Just the very tip of her toe is touching the ground.



The tip of her toe is touching in this one , too.



If anyone here's a fashion critiuque, go ahead. My mom went on, and on, and on about wearing green and blue. I got up at 5:00 and was tired, so I put on green pants. ( The blue shirt has my clubs logo on it. So I had to wear it.

I would love to get Sassy involved in agility as she would like it and I really want her to get more active. She loves jumping.. But we think she is developing arthritis so I don't really know if she would do to well.

[sabies]

My Sadie has never done agility, but our new dog park has agility equipment and I took pictures. Sadie is almost 14 and can't jump as high as she used to but she's still pretty good. When she was young she used her skill to hop fences, not win awards.

Greyhoundgirl, Jenny reminds me so much of Sadie. She looks like quite an athlete. Congratulations on your competitions so far and good luck in the future!!! Jenny's better than any pure bred border collie!
