Catch-up on 4 trials...

Over the last few weeks we had 4 shows, Liesbeek, Belgian, GSD and Breede Rivier. Chinzi's performance was consistent, but nothing special. At the Liesbeek show she had 10 course faults, missing both A-frame and Dogwalk contacts, running at 4.6m/s to still managed a 3rd place. In the Jumping we DQ'd on a tunnel.

Belgian show was much the same, although her speed was magnificant and she really worked well, she had faults in both rounds. Agility saw her come 2nd with 10 course faults again, this time two knocked bars, getting all her contacts, at a speed of 5.1m/s. Jumping was a magnificant round, a quite challenging course for the low grade, she ran 5.2m/s but very unfortunately knocked the very last bar to lose out on a qualification and only getting a 3rd placing.

At the GSD show she finally managed to get another qualification in Agility, coming first at a speed of 4.3m/s The weather became very bad, with very strong and icy winds, even blowing jumps over, so the Jumping round didn't go well at all. We had to redo the weaves 3 times and knocked a bar, so coming 3rd with 15 course faults, but still at 4.9m/s, with redoing the weaves, so perhaps our speed wasn't that bad at least. :)

The Breede Rivier Show basically rained out, but we managed to get one Jumping round in, it was too wet to chance it on the contacts. She again knocked the 3rd last bar, very sadly, just to miss out on a Q, coming 2nd and running 4.2m/s on a very tightly measured course.

Sadly, no video again. I'll have to appoint myself a video guy! :)

Flyball results for all these shows were great, Chinzi's team, the Boland Flyers taking 1st place every time, with a best time of 19.09 seconds. We're still aiming to break the 19 second barrier! Hopefully soon!
