he will be judged against all minor dogs, then if he places first or second wait around as he if placed first will go in for chalenge (he is eligible for points) if he placed 2nd he may be needed to go in for reserve challenge. if you place first and there is a minor bitch you will go in against her after bitch challenge for minor of breed run off. if you place first against the bitch you will need to go in for minor in group at the end of the show.

very sorry to hear your puppy has crossed to the bridge. all the best in the decision you make. can't telly ou what to do but if you trust and like the lines of this breeder perhaps wait for the next litter 2 months does go fast

I will do a leg for Ari if you will do one for Lincoln in two years. ;) I will do a leg for Ari if you will do one for Lincoln in two years. If you're pimping your services, you wanna run one of my ratbags for the entire thing? if services are being pimped out i will grab a handler rofl i am so unfit but i need my dog to start training furst and i think the bike sounds like the way to go
-
Yes, changes of handler are allowed in the ET - a friend and her hubby shared the running when they did it with her BC - she did 2 section, he did one. Personally, although you can run a dog once it's turned 2, I would wait a year or so, both because of physical maturity and 'emotional' maturity. My 2 BC's were 4 when we did it - as were my friend's BC and another friend's Sheltie. Although the 20 km is covered in 2 hours, it's worth training the dog (and handler ) to be able to handle a pace a bit faster than that, since some judges like to do the first leg at a little bit above the average pace, to have a bit of time in the the bank to spend on the third leg if necessary, and in case of accidents, and needing to allow a team to catch up (se I had to do when Fergus had a huge shake in a sleet storm and I had to fall off my bike (to avoid falling on him. ) Then the bike got mud stuck in the brakes, and I had to borrow one for a while while mine got fixed. I was very, very glad our judge had banked a bit of time ;) ) When friends and I were training, we worked up to being comfortable at about 13/14 kph. The other thing to remember is gradually hardening up the dog's pads by riding on gravel and concrete or bitumen as well as grass. It's great fun - my friend and I hadn't ridden bikes for a looooong time - so the training started without the dog . I'm planning on doing it with Rory the year after next, when he'll be rising 4 (and I'll be old enough to know better :D .) Seriously, if you saw me at agility Nationals, you'll know that I'm a short, dumpy senior citizen - so if I can do it, you youngsters certainly can :D . thankyou for the information i might just have to give it a go when i get my dog back form being campaigned inqld she wuill be three just before christmas this year so i might be able to do it her daughter is still a way off it yet rofl she is onl 5 months
-
thanks for the info so last question rofl are you allowed multiple handlers for the et?/ so i could do a lap, get my friend to do one then i do the last one??
-
I worked it out at 6 minute kilometers which you would have to be reasonably fit to do, you can bike and run a leg or run all or bike all! J so sorry wazzat it is 1am and i am reading this so are you saying you need to walk a kilometre every six minutes?? i do a 5k walk in 10-15 with the dog depending on the pace i walk cracks hubby up. i walk from my house you have a rough idea where that is to my mum's in bellevue which is about 12 k in about 30 mins i wonder why i always get told to slow down rofl hmmmm (and that was 8 months pregnant rofl)
-
i want todo the et if i have chandra with me maybe i will. is it easier to walk or ride or do you have to run it??? hmm maybe i should get fit i know she can do it but me eeeeeeeeeeepppppp it may be a different story. if biking is easier i could start biking different distances and surfaces now eta if you could walk it that is no worries at all
-
Tracy is away at present. Dennis & Kevin still work we had Kevin out yesterday thankyou for that info. do you take dogs to him or does he come to you?? i might wait to pay day and give him a ccall for the dogs thankyou
-

The Pitbull Page To See If You Can Identify One
emery replied to emery's topic in General Dog Discussion
me either but it will prove a point that what she believes are pitties more than likely aren't. not one of her friends that commented have picked him yet and i want her to take the accusation down as her comments are on a public site -
