Still waiting to take Ryan in the ring. He is next. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted July 1, 2021 Many lessons were learned the rest of the day. 0 ribbons of any color. @Randomguy I will answer you after we walk dogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agility has several different classes and within each different levels. The big two classes are: 1. standard—- the one with the dog walk, fetter footer, pause table, etc. 2. Jumpers with weaves- faster with lots of different jumps and weave poles. None of the other obstacles. Then within that you have novice, open, excellent, and masters levels. Those green ribbons earn you legs within your class. You need to get three of the green ribbons to move up except in masters where you need more but I will explain that another day. The fancy rosettes are your placement in your class that day. So today Lindy got a green masters ribbon and was the best dog in his 20 inch jump height class. Paulie is at his second competition. He did not get any qualifying green ribbons. So he still needs three in novice standard and three in novice jumpers with weaves. When he gets three qualifying JWW green ribbons he will move to JWW Open. Yes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted July 2, 2021 Each course that you run is different. The judge has to set a standard course time. 1. You have run clean. This means not making errors such as going to the wrong obstacle or knocking a bar off. novice dogs can make a few mistakes and still qualify. Master level dog cannot make any errors. The most common errors are knocking a bar or being incomplete in the weaves. Missing one is all it takes to not qualify. 2. You have to be below the standard course time the judge sets. In the novice class you can be over on time and lose points but still qualify. By masters you cannot be over in time at all. As you can guess some breeds of dogs are faster. This is why you see so many border collies and so few Rottweilers at the top levels of agility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted July 2, 2021 And finally there is also breed competition. For example all the agility Airedales compete against each other. Our breed takes this very seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted July 2, 2021 Share #20 Posted July 2, 2021 I have watched some youtube and 4H agility but don't know much about it. My competition dog experience is in hunt tests. I have run dogs at the Jr, Sr, Master levels. Have run one lab at the Master Nationals. I have worked hunt tests for our local club. Right now my goal is qualifying dogs at SD, SDX and SDO levels. Sled dog, Sled Dog Excellent and Sled Dog Outstanding. Ike could possibly go SDO in the next year if we get to enough qualifying races. Currently Balto and Shila have SD titles and Ike is SDX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share #24 Posted July 2, 2021 Lindy and Paulie did not do any winning or qualifying today. Lindy was so close but paused on one jump which the judge scored as a refusal. Those aren’t allowed at his level. pailie did way better than yesterday. Ryan was a rock star today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because dogs can compete against themselves and their own breed. Goes quick. Ike should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time my cat runs fast is if she hears me opening the treat cabinet. Congrats to Ryan for today, and Lindy for yesterday and to Paulie for being so independent. ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
