Wow Debbie and Dolly! I love all those titles after the name! Dolly must be a great dog. I watched Rally Excellent at the Denver shows, and I was impressed....
OK...found out today that, not only was Dolly the 2nd Dal to get her RAE but she is the FIRST DALMATIAN BITCH to get it!! It just keeps getting better. Debbie...
Would anyone out there be interested in attending a Road Trial that was held in Oregon or Washington? We are thinking 07 or 08. Please email me with your...
OH PEGGY!! I think that would be SO cool but it would take me DAYS to get there. I just can't see us making that trek. Debbie ... From: Peggy Strupp To:...
Peggy, I agree with Debbie. I would love to go to the Northwest for a road trial, but I just can't afford either the time it would take to get there nor the...
My liver girl, Dixie, has her NAP at 16 inch and needs 2 more legs in JWWP. Do I enter Standard Preferred in Open and then Novice JWWP at the Sep 30 show? If...
If she has her NAP now you can enter Open Preferred any time you want. And as soon as she gets her 3rd and last NJWWP leg she can then enter Open JWW...
Yes a lot - Thank you - Open sounds scary, but we will go for it! ... From: Dizzidots To: dalsatwork@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 3:26...
You can not enter Novice Standard Regular and Open Standard Preferred in the same weekend. ... From: Dizzidots To: dalsatwork@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday,...
From what I understand, you can not enter Preferred classes and Regular classes in the same weekend...unless it is standard and JWW. (EX: Regular standard...
The only thing you can not do is enter a regular class and a preferred class in the same weekend. You can not cross over at the same trial. I have tried...
At the Mid-Coast Kennel Club shows last Saturday, my Carina finished her Rally Advanced title with a first place from the Advanced A class. This makes 3...
Something that the others didn't point out is that you don't *have to* move up when you complete a title in AKC. If you still feel shaky about trying Open,...
You can stay in Novice forever but if you titled in Novice A then you have to move to Novice B for both standard and JWW for any shows that have not as yet...
Just a hint, if you want to stay in Novice B and/or Open for a while longer........ Poker got one extra leg in both Novice and Open, and ended up in the top...
You are correct. Sorry, but I don't agree with not moving up. I have a philosophy...always move up, regardless of how you feel (unless you are going for one...
Dear listers -- My competition philosopy is based on my training philosopy -- do what helps the dog & set the dog up for success. In agility competition, only...
I agree completely with Lynnda on this advice. I am an agility judge and I really feel one of the reasons for the incredible kill rate in Open is that the dogs...
Well, I guess my philosophy is to have fun no matter what level you are in. I do NOT stress and neither do my dogs. My philosophy has worked for me. Look at...
I agree with Debbie on this one but I'll add in one exception and one assumption. The assumption is that one's dog is ready for novice when you start trialing...
AMEN JULIE!! Well said!!!!!!!! I agree 100% with what you said. I can't tell you the number of times that I have seen people babysitting weave poles in...
And look at that fantastic sig-line! I didn't know Winston Churchill had Dalmatians! Giggles, Wiggles and Wags, Leslie, Zipper~(CAD), and TEAM POKER~(MXJ, AX,...
Winston Churchill has made me believe I am the most successful handler out there!! Debbie 'Roxy', UD, AX, AXJ, OAP, RE, NAC, V/VX, CGC, TT 'Dolly', CDX, AX,...
I may be a close second. When training agility, whose Dal has stopped to chase a butterfly or grasshopper - attention right! Had fun this Sat morning doing an...
I'd like to just remind some of you that the dog you see with me in the ring may not be the same dog I have in class! (She may not even be the same dog I had...
I have to agree with Debbie on this one. Sure - people enter dogs in classes they're not ready for. Happens all the time! BUT - it's the PERSON'S attitude that...
After a few years of competing, suddenly Dolly decided that the teeter and the table (of all things) was just too scary. I think now we are finally over the...
