Hello all, last couple weeks have been hard to get on here. Seems when you get "UP" in age you start visiting the ER more often. This past week I found out what it is like to give birth (I'm a male)! Ladies I now understand, really I do, I spent a couple days at Mercy trying to pass a Kidney Stone. If you've never tried to pass a stone or had a baby you won't understand. Think of trying to pass a small stone of thru your penis? It is very painful. Always heard it was like a woman having a baby, now I believe it.
Looking for another dog to start training, figured why not have twice the fun as I'm now having ;) As soon as I get back from the Words Championships @ Cynosports in Scottsdale, AZ this weekend I will start looking in earnest. Want a big footed, long legged, male lab out of good stock. Found some people in Tehachapi that breed labs. They have a litter due in December that looks promising. Not sure of color yet. but the father is yellow and the mother is chocolate. Don't think a light blonde male will come out of them? Hope so, but a dark lab would be OK. For some reason 90% of the labs jumping are yellow. Speaking of the World Championships. The word on Andy is out, people are staring to shy away from his Junior Division, they think they would only be jumping for 2nd or 3rd place? But who knows, that's why they have horse races? It will only cost around $500-$750 total to attend this event? That could be a reason? The Junior Division is for dogs that have qualified at 10' 0" to 14' 11". This is the division Andy qualified for, but being he was, and still is, so young, he has continued to grow in his sport. Most of his competitors are mature dogs who have reached, or almost reached their potential? In practice the last couple weeks Andy has been jumping in the 18'-20' range (remember this is from dock to base of his tail). He could well jump further than the dogs in the Senior Division? Next year he will in all likely hood be in competition in the Professional Division? That's for dogs jumping over 20' But who knows, he may just make the Extreme (over 23') Division next year? Sure would like to see that. Well, that will have to do it for now. Hope to have GREAT news to share next week? Did anyone attend the Bark in the Park in Lancaster this past weekend? Andy did a Little of everything. Dock Diving, Agility and lots of other fun things. Reports are that he hit the 18"-19" mark (Purina's measurement would have been 23"-24", not bad for 9 months old). But they were not offically meauring the jumps as it was a "fun" jump. Here are some pictures of him from the event along with a couple other pictures. |
