PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOW STARTING AT 11am !!!!!

August 2008

Hi all, After a lot of thought and talk amongst ourselves we have decided to do away with the long jump as this was taking to long to run through all the dogs, so instead there shall be an obstacle course for you and your dog to do a series of jumps through and over various pieces of equipment so a chance to test the owners as well as the dogs, (owners need not do the jumps, unless they so wish) the event will be timed and awards to dogs that are placed. The new event shall be run in 2 groups, 18 under, over 18s The unders shall do smaller jumps than the overs. There will be 7 obstacles in all 3 sets of small hurdles, small jump, A-frame, Large jump, tyre jump. The dog handler have to work as a team trough the course. Handlers have to guide their dog over each obstacle. Once all jumps are cleared there will be a post that you will have to run round then run back to the start line as quick as possible. Any dog tha is let go on the run back shall be disqualified.The rules of the course are.All dogs will be on lead throughout the course.(except going over jump & tyre).Toys will be allowed, food will not.Any dog or handler knocking off a hurdle 10 sec penalty per jump.Any dog failing to clear an obstacle 30 sec penalty.Any Handler letting go of the dog on the run back,disqualified!!! The course will be around 60+ meters long.
