Saturdays report -a great day for New Zealand
Nationals Saturday 6th May
The weather report. Fine Fine Fine. At last and it was nice.
Shopping Report. Carol spent more than $100 in the dog shop today. Not much else, Jono went for a walk to Henley Beach about an hour away. He tells me it’s a very nice place for lunch.
I think we told you that we get a separate number for each event we are entered in. For this weekend this means 15 numbers each. If you don’t get a clear round your number goes in the “losers box”. At the end of the day about 50 numbers are drawn out and given a small prize.
It’s been a big day today. 8 runs per dog, to Lyn and Ross, with 2 dogs each have been very busy. There were eight rings running at the same time. We have had a ball.
The events today and tomorrow morning are individual events in their own right, AND the first 7 place getters qualify for the finals to be held on Sunday afternoon. So everyone is interested in being in the top 7 needless to say.
The team was very successful today.
Fiona and Fya, gained their first clear rounds of the trip got the biggest cheer so far. She has a big smile on her face.
Pete and C had a great day, even with his stuffed knee (from the snooker yesterday), Fiona F’s drugs seem to be working well. C won Masters Agility, was 2nd in Open Agility and 3rd in another Open agility.
Carol is a bit sad. The Amazin Raisin has not settled in Aussie and wants to go home. Unfortunately it has not gone their way so far. Everyone loves Raisin here, and at present he has a “free to a good home” sign on his crate. Wonder if Carol is going to get a refund on his flight home?
The Schnauzers are really tired. Jenna doesn’t even “bark” when Lyn takes Jossie off for another run. That’s tired! The people are getting tired too.
Ross, Deb and Carol are not very good at staying on the right side of the line – Raisin had an amazing run so was very sad for Carol. When Deb stepped over the line she may have been the first kiwi heard to utter the dreaded “f” word in the ring! Funny that Ross went over the line as he normally doesn’t get anywhere the equipment his dog is doing.
The cheerleaders did an amazing job of videoing all the runs – not sure which camera the runs are on, but they are all there somewhere.
Abbie has had issues with her leg, but happy as a sandboy today running very keenly for 1 clear round.
Food is great – put on by the German Shepherd club. Grounds are lovely to run on – very spongy.
The motel room occupied by Fiona Jayne, Carol, Dianne and Elaine has been affected by the Delhi Belly, makes running a bit difficult. Tana and Fya have had the same bug, so wonder what food they all shared?
A bitch peed on the start line just before Tana’s run in one class. They did pour water on it, missed the pee area, and Tana didn’t look like he was going to get his nose off the ground. However he did, but Karen tripped him up going into the weave and he got faults.

Nationals Friday 5th May
Just back (8pm) in the motel from a busy day at the Nationals.
The day started with the first round of the teams, which was a Masters Agility course some 13 hours ago. This was a tough course with plenty of opportunity for going the wrong way, and unfortunately the NZ team took most of them.
Masters Snooker. The 7 point obstacle was a combination of a Jump, tunnel under the aframe, the jump again and then the aframe. Those that tried for max points all ran out of time, with Deb Jackson and Ace the best, being on the downside of the aframe when the buzzer sounded. Pete de Wit and C had a smooth, controlled run and won the event. Elaine Rohde and Flaire were 3rd, Lyn Sayers & Jenna were 4th and Deb Jackson and Ace were 5th.
Novice Snooker. Lyn Sayers really loves snooker everyone. He and Josie won this event with another quick run on maximum points.
Masters Gamblers. This has a really hard gamble where the dog had to be sent away and enter a tunnel that they could not see the entrance to, followed by a jump, a pull through, a jump, a seesaw and finally a jump spread over 40 metres. Sound tough? It was! The kiwis went pretty well on this course. Ross McBeth and Ice were the best team on the course and won!
Strategic Pairs. This is my favourite Agility game. Two dogs on the course at the same time, timing being very important. Pete & C teamed up with Debs and Ace, ran a perfect course with no mistakes and came in second. The course time was a tough 40 seconds. Only 2 teams came in under this time. A great result as they had never run together before. Karen & Tana teamed up with Fiona & Cannon to come in 5th.
The day finished with the teams jumping course. Pete has twisted his knee during the day so Fiona replaced him as C’s handler for the teams. They had a great run, being clear. Overall, we bummed out in the teams, coming in 8th out of 9 teams. Tasmania Won.
The NZ team has made its presence felt, we are the noisiest bunch here, especially at the prizing giving!
The New Zealand Tents, with the flags.
