Posted May 2, 201015 yr Hey All A little brag because I feel like it! The Australian Agility Nationals were being held this weekend (well Thurs-Sun) in Perth and because I live in WA I thought I would enter. The deal is that there are normal classes each day on Thurs, Fri & Sat at which you have a chance of earning your dog a place in the finals which were held today. I ran 3 of my whippets only in yesterdays classes (some of us have to work ), my boy Greebo in Masters Agility & Jumping as well as Open Agility & Jumping. One of my girls Tchorna in Novice Agility & Jumping as well as Open Agility & Jumping and my youngest competition girl Enya in Novice Jumping. We also did a couple of strategic pairs runs with our usual pairs partner Greebo in Masters and Tchorna in Excellent. So from one days trial we managed 6 passes - Greebo in Open Agility & Jumping as well as his first Masters Strat Pairs run for a pass, Tchorna in Novice Agility & Jumping and Enya in her first pass in Novice Jumping. Passes are great but we also managed from only one days competition to secure ourselves 3 spots in the National Agility Finals. Tchorna in Novice Agility & Jumping and Enya (the little star) in Novice Jumping. So we tonked up to Perth again today (after never having expected to even get one spot in the finals)........ but my nerves kicked in and I bombed every run making my dogs make silly errors........ Still, I am very proud to have gotten that far with only one days trials where others who attended on each of the 3 lead up days have 3 seperate chances at each class to qualify for the finals. And my kids did me proud - it wasn't them that stuffed up the runs today it was me (as per usual)!!! But really nice to know that they can mix it with the best in the country! There was a professional photographer out there today too so if I get some pics of my kids at work I'll post! Edit: The photos are up and here are a few links to some pics of my kids!
