The softball teams haven't let me know how they are soing, so nothing softball today.
I guess now that I have found a new sport I should change the photo on my profile? Problem is I can't find something that will cover both dog jumping and softball. Had a relaxing weekend, didn't do anything but kick back. I am still planning on heading to Reno 10-11-12 for the Dock Jumping Challenge with Andy. They have been going slowly with his training, letting him dictate what he wants to do. Next year will take training seriously to see just what Andy can do. Thinking of getting another Lab as a training partner for him. Give him some competition during practices. People say dog;s don't know or understand things, but rest assured Andy knows what he is doing. I watch him during competition and he wants to beat all the others. He loves to show off on the dock. He is "Show Time." Guess that's all for now, will let all know how the Reno Jump goes. Have a great day all,,,
Watching the Purina incredible dog challenge on ESPN today and was wondering how they were saying those dogs were jumping so far? I did some checking and found out that Purina measures where the front paws hit the water while the Splash Dogs and Dock Dogs groups measures electronicly from where the base of the tail enters the water. That can be as much as 4 feet for some dogs? So, Prince Andy's jump of 15' 4" would have been 18-20 feet if measured Purina's way. Also found out that there are at least 3 groups that do dog diving, "Splash Dogs" here in the west, "Dock Dogs" in the eastern part of the county and Purina puts on it's own show for avertising in selected sites. Each has it's own rules. Vallejo--The Sonoma County Fair Splash Dog Challenge was a success for local flying puppy "Prince Andy". On Friday Andy qualified for the "Open" Division by finishing 2nd in the Junior class with a jump of 14' 7". On Saturday, 6 month old, Andy jumped 15' 3" to qualify for the "Open" Division Finals on Sunday against the best adult dogs in Northern California. Only the top 20 dogs qualify for the "Open Finals". Picture #2 Closing in on the "Wubba" Picture #3 catching up to the "Wabba" Picture #4 The "wubba" is mine!
