Last weekend, we traveled to Armstrong to compete in .caninehub 's first K9Wave Canada dock event. The plan was originally to bring Dually and Mymic. Unfortunately, Mymic hurt her foot the day before we were set to start traveling, so she stayed home. Thankfully, we were able to switch her entries to Lady. We didn't know if Lady would swim or not, but we figured since they had a ramp division, we'd give it a shot. She swam a couple of times on Friday during practice, but come the actual splashes, there was just too much going on, and she wasn't so sure about it. We kept it light and fun to keep a good overall experience for her. Dually, unfortunately, I didn't have his best weekend. After slipping on the dock, his confidence on the dock dropped drastically. His usual 16' jump average dwindled down to 8-9' jumps. We decided to pull back and keep it fun and switched to the ramp for his last jump. We'll be working on getting that confidence back up here at home before our next event. Overall, we have some things to work on, but it was great to attend an event at a new pool. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿพ

Finally getting my ducks in a row and got Dually and Lady's sprinter photos ordered! Lady's first 3 runs, she kept trying to herd the lure and would run outside of the track. Thankfully, the club allows it, so she still Q'd. Her 4th run, we finally got the timing right, and she figured out the game, and she ran straight down the middle! Dually ran his heart out per usual. As of July, he'll officially be classed as a Veteran, and will likely be moved to veteran for the next trial ๐Ÿฅฒ ๐Ÿพ

Another sprinters weekend with Vancouver Island Lure Coursing Association come and gone! Dually finished his Advanced Sprinter title, and Lady earned her Novice Sprinter title. Both ran their hearts out and had a blast. Dually tried Chase Ability on Sunday but was confused why the lure kept turning, so unfortunately no passes. This was Lady's first event competing, and she handled it all so well. While we call her our gremlin, she received a number of compliments throughout the weekend on her behavior and how shes developing. It was also our first event since welcoming our son to the family, so it was a bit of a learning curve. A huge thank you to our good friend Barb, who watched Jax during the dogs' runs.

Our friends at Lazy JF Bar Aussies and Country Steel are considering a repeat breeding for Dually and Feather. Their Vikings litter produced some amazing puppies with some competing or training in disc, agility, rally, trick dog, sprinters, dock diving, and service work. This litter will be suited for performance or active pets. Our girl Lady is one of the Viking puppies, and we are super excited to see all that she accomplishes as she has so much potential that we're just starting to dip into.

Previous litter ad for reference till I can get another one done up for Madelene Doyle. This litter will be born and raised with Madelene in Williams Lake area. Please reach out to myself or Madelene for more info.
