LyndaTaylor Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Just Jumps do, have you been there? Also, try ebay. edit: Have tried ebay - look here Hi Jo, I spotted that one on ebay, always my first stop for everything but been told that the concave ones with rubber matting are better for the dogs as they absorb the shock of the dog landing on them. But, I think we might just be sorted, through the power of The Refuge, we're off to look at a secondhand set on Monday Looks like I'm changing from HWTM to Flyball for my progessive training option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndaTaylor Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 The bug has bit has it then Lynda Has Daisy recovered? Snitch was tired all day today It has Pauline! Though I feel quite ashamed now to have to admit that there is much more to flyball than I had first thought. Daisy was absolutley fine, no stiffness at all in the morning, it seems she can cope with flyball much better than the HWTM moves and agility. Can't wait to get the box and then I can start with all 5 as they're all total ball maniacs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and watched teh racign today and was impressed at how much faster than us they were....round about 19 secs. I've ended up being adopted by one team as I turned up to watch their alst two heats and they won them both having done nothing in the morning. I will go and watch the multibreed racing tomorrow (and get some more video) Pleased that daisy was ok I just hope we manage to get enough interested bodies to start a proper team.

gooster Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 We get our box from a guy on the Nuneaton Flyers team (can't remember his name though...) I'll email my captain tomorrow and ask (just got back from a 4 day show and am knackered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotous_uk Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi gooster. The nuneaton team were there over the weekend and we were very lucky to get some coaching off Pam (their team captain?). We were at Selby game fair where there was 4 days of racing. where were you racing.....if yuo tell me it was at Selby I'll spit as we could have come and said hello. I watched a little of the multibreed racing yesterday. Its funny how many teams seem to have a collie cross (or several) in their teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I wasn't at Selby, I was at Ryecroft Farm in Cheshire, which was our own show Our multibreed team was a true one, with a crossbreed, collie, nova scotia duck tolling retriever, and mini schnauzer In multibreed, you are only allowed one collie, one crossbreed and 2 other breeds to race in one race. You are allowed up to 6 dogs on the team, so you usually have 2 collies and 2 crossbreeds on the sheet and interchange them (or have them as spares just in case, which was what Charliegoo was yesterday ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotous_uk Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi gooster I realise that you are only allowed one BC/WSD on a multibreed team but some of the teams seemed to be running alot of crosses that looked very much like collie somthings to me. We we get better 'our' team will be a true multi breed team as well, so far there is a terrier, a beardie, a lab cross, a collie and poss a lab. Now if I can get the GSD interested, we could stick her in as well seeing as she's finally decided that she's ball mad ! I think we'll be sticking to local shows for now, but maybe one day we'll end up at the same tournament and we'll get to say hello Pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
