Hey Robin - DOBE agility. ;-)
Backtracking from the video Matt posted, I found that the same guy has NADAC
Championships runs posted. So here's my friend & former classmate Nicole, with Mojo who's 7 or so now IIRC, and Luxx who's around 5, ditto.. Nic's a bit off her game in most of the runs, having come down with a nasty stomach bug on the way - she was so sick the first day she couldn't get out of bed, much less run her dogs. It really shows in a lot of her runs, especially the ones with Luxx. Mojo: Jumpers: http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-17-mojo-2jmp http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-17-mojo-1jmp Weavers: http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-17-mojo-1jmp (Don't know WHAT the ring crew was thinking, getting in the way like that!) And a couple of the Regular runs: http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-20-mojo-3reg I'm still not sure why he went out to the Aframe on that one... she didn't seem that late on the here, but I'm thinking maybe he needed another between the jumps. http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-20-mojo-4reg Shot from an odd angle (and boy she's late on that mid-run "here") but the angle shows his weave footwork well. Nice smooth runs (she must have been feeling better by then): http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-21-mojo-5reg http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-21-mojo-6reg Luxx: Team run with Nelson Hardie & Hattie (Eskie with awesome weaves!), and Tom Moloney-Harmon & Piper (Sheltie). Matt may recall Tom and his awesome little Maddie at the Canadian Nat'ls a couple of years ago; Piper's a lot greener but Tom has much of the same stunning distance handling with him. (http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...-luxxpiper-3dg Regular... Nicole's way off her usual here - the off-course towards the end seems to be her just forgetting where she was; she made the good decision to just find a way out of the ring: http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-20-luxx-4reg NICE Jumpers run: http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...9-17-luxx-1jmp |

Piggybacking:

Speaking of which: http://www.agilityvideoservice.com/d...17-maddies-jmp Maddie definitely puts the lie to the adage that tiny dogs can't do distance! They don't quite get all the challenge (which is optional), but it's still awesome... especially considering Maddie's something like 11 years old. |

rec.pets.dogs.behavior: Matt may recall Tom and his awesome little Maddie at the Canadian Nat'ls a couple of years ago I don't, though I did room with a Tom and his Sheltie in Montreal in 2005. Not the same Tom/Sheltie, though, I think. What class was he in? I'm going to be running against a whole different group of dogs when I move Friday to Veterans. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I watched most of them, very nice! I know she placed 4th overall in her
height and was thrilled in spite of being so sick. I still think hoops are just dumb as snot. |

I still think hoops are just dumb as snot. You're not alone in that. I didn't, and don't, mind the Hoopers *class*, but was not thrilled when they started showing up in T&G and Weavers. |

Probably not. g However IIRC we did discuss Tom M-H at the time... very tall skinny guy, with a very teeny and very talkative Sheltie. He's not Canadian, he's from Maryland; a member of my former agility club. What class was he in? Don't know what the Canadian jump heights are, but Maddie's very small - she jumped 12" in NADAC (I think he's got her in Veterans now at 8"), and that's close to her shoulder height. I posted a link to one run of her a bit upthread. |

Yep, probably my final/final break with NADAC. Cala would absolutely jump them and try to kill herself. I have Zipper in a local ASCA trial this weekend. Regular and Jumpers. We really haven't started working on Gamblers yet and my funds are SO limited I decided not to even enter Cala. But it'll be fun. Looks like weather is going to be perfect. |

I showed up early at my group's Kathy Keats seminar and saw that someone had left out a series of hoops from a previous day's drop-in training. Friday barks at me when he's not satisfied. I thought I'd run him through the hoops, which he did willingly, but he was clearly not satisified with their non-jumping aspect. A friend of mine is a NADAC judge, and the way she described the hoopers class, it sounds interesting. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
