Raven’s Journey with LymphomaMonday May 7th 2007We flew back from Adelaide today after competing at the ANKC Agility Nationals. Raven has ended up as the Runner Up Masters Agility Champion and I am absolutely thrilled with our whole Nationals experience, she had more than proved she was amongst the best dogs in the country when …
Why Tunnels Should Not Be Run Sideways
Raven came to a complete stop out this tunnel, onlookers said they could see her running up the side of the tunnel. I am wondering how I can alter this in training (she rarely goes as fast in training and therefore rarely comes off second best with tunnel exits) or that hopefully this experience (which …

CAWA State Titles Wrap Up
So last weekend (Friday night and Saturday) was the CAWA State Agility titles. For such a small state we had a good entry of over 500 runs across the two trials. Friday evening went well for me. I had Cypher in Open Jumping first up and he did a nice run for a 9th place …

Cypher’s Dogwalk…4 on the Floor
Ok had a few queries about Cypher's dogwalk contact - here is a video of it.http://www.yourdogphotos.com/cy4onfloor.wmvAs you can see when he is going at full speed he ends up with his front legs tucked right under him. This is the only drawback to this behaviour and why eventually I will transfer it to a running …
Ok…time to bite the bullet.
I'm going to be brave and finally post a video or two. These two runs are of Cypher from last night and of Raven from last November (we missed getting her Masters Agility run from last night).Cypher is doing his Masters Jumping run (4th place) and Raven is doing a Masters Agility run (1st place) …
Raven has a win :-)
Tonight was Perth Training’s Agility and Jumping Trial. We definitely fared a bit better this Saturday than last! Raven was a star again and took 1st place in Masters Agility. It wasn’t smooth sailing in a number of places but her speed compensated for that. We had a brilliant run in Open Jumping apart from …
Elephants: 1 Tourists: 0
Yet again I am reminded of the human races' capacity for stupidity.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=57b_1176192902&c=1When a 7 tonne Bull Elephant *pretends* to charge at you; one would think that would be a rather large clue as to the perilous situation which you currently find yourself in and a very strong hint that perhaps you should extract yourself ASAP?!?!
