RallyValley Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thinking of pleading with her into tacking Cider before her first show - but not sure how far friendships can stretch Oooh! When is Cider's first show? Wonder if it is a day I can come and be cheer squad 24th April Hmmm I might have to pop up from agility to have a look!

SparkyTansy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Ari has got nearly everything down... except that she will drop the bumper on return... and she is never interested in the "hold" game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 It's in Upper Swan which is in metro area. I heard that they have quite a few out in the country so its probably one of the easier ones to get to! RS- Yes I mean retrieving trial. I will be bringing Lincoln along to expose him to gunfire and the sights/sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be bringing Lincoln along to expose him to gunfire and the sights/sounds. I did that last year, took Ruby to a retrieving trial in Upper Swan. Won't do it again! She got loose and came running to find me I was so embarrassed amongst all the fabulous retrieiving folk Plus the uphill/downhill climb with a dog and other stuff was horrid!!! It was very steep and slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 By the way, from out our way ST, it's quite a long drive! It didn't help that I got lost, missed the turnoff, and had to backtrack at 40km/hr to find the right street that was barely marked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) LOL you poor thing RS! Last year I drove up to one of the trials which was east of toodyay... the long drive doesnt bother me too much so upper swan is probably ok! Valley Ari may be in season by then so i won't be able to bring her along bt i'd still like to come and watch... i'll keep you posted though.... Actually scratch that... I'm going to be at the OES open show that day just checked... Edited April 8, 2010 by SparkyTansy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah was she tied out or what RS? How did she get loose? She is a good retriever though she went to fetch her mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you want to watch the action, you can't have your dog with you. You have to keep them tied up or crated in the holding area or whatever it is they call it. The dogs there aren't allowed to see the action. I'm sure fetchindawgs can be more technical than I am trying to be! Ruby slipped her collar which is how she got loose. I didn't have a slip rope one at that stage (what are they called again?), but now I have 4 and gave up retrieving right after I got them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Sunday reterving traing is being done by Maggie Hankinson and I am so tempted to go down for a little bit before work to hear her wisdom.

SparkyTansy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I woud have loved to have gone too valley but GDC has an obedience trial and I have to be a steward... when i went up to toodyay one i of course kept Ari well away from the action but we did hear the gunshot each time... i went right up close with the crowd without dogs to watch the action though so if you can trust lincoln tied out you should be ok. My mum held onto Ari when i went to watch and photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum held onto Ari when i went to watch and photograph. Lincoln is absoultely terrified of being tangled so I would have to bring a crate if I decided to bring him. Hmmm I might just come down and help at the GDC obidience trial since I am a member and I want to see an obidience trial in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) valley are you serious? if you are you can steward with me! but if you have to work on Sunday you might be pushing it! it is a good way of seeing a trial in action though, and we usually finish before 12pm cos it isnt a huge event. I am thinking you are probably like the first member who isn't on the committee who is willng to come down and help without being asked... ETA - i think i'm confused... on the 18th i am at an OES open show but THIS sunday (when the last retrieving training day is) i am at an obedience trial...
