Chinzi Go Tops FDX !

Chinzi obtained her FDX (Flyball Dog Excellent) status on Saturday. Four KUSA competitions in her short flyball career, and four times maximum points. Well done Chinz! Thanks to her team mates who made this possible, first two competitions with Dogzcool, Tip-Top, Courage, Play and Koda, and the last two with the Boland Flyers, Comet, Beau and Ike. Thanks guys! Hopefully there will be many more successful runs to come! The Boland Flyers ran a 19.02 at Saturday's show, not bad at all. Here's to the 18.0 seconds coming soon! :)

On the Jumping side Chinz had a day of 5 faults... she unfortunately knocked a bar in every round, but still managed a 3rd place in Contact and 1st in Non-Contact. She worked well, at exceptional speed, with accurate contacts and lovely weave-pole entries. Well done Chinz, you're a pleasure to own, to love and to run.

Knysna Rosettes

Here's Chinzi with all her rosettes and gold medal she won in Knysna.





Flyball rosettes at the top, 2 First rosettes for the Flyball RT's on the side and one for the overall Flyball winner in the middle.

5 First place rosettes underneath that in the center for 3 Agility rounds, all of which qualifications, and 2 Jumping rounds, of which one a qualification. Then one 2nd and 3rd place rosette for another Jumping and Agility round respectively.

My first Regional Trials!

Knysna 2008!

Chinzi had a magnificant weekend! Her first ever Regional Trials saw her achieve 5 first places from her 8 rounds, of which 4 were qualifications! She moved up to Agility grade 2 within one weekend! Well done my girl!

Her times were fast and I am very very happy with her performance. She was also a member of the winning flyball team, the Boland Flyers, who won Gold medals by winning the overall competition as well as both individual RT's, with times of 19.16 and 19.25 seconds. Chinzi earned a total of 62 points, earning her the title of Flyball Dog.

Unfortunately not much video was taken, but here is one of Chinzi's fastest Jumping rounds, where she unfortunately knocked a bar.




Her first Agility round where she qualified.





Photos of her beautiful rosettes to follow as soon as the rain gives us a chance to have a mini photo shoot! :)
