Today was the day of British flyball Championships. It was a lovely venue and the weather was just glorious. Ronny and Maisy were entered in the multi breed pairs as Ronny is obviously not a collie, we were against some tuff competition so had it all to play for.
We decided Ronny would run first dog and Maisy second as that is the order they have been running in the team.
The dogs were allowed one warm up run and then 3 races to record their fastest time.
Ronny and Maisy ran fantastic and nailed there first and second cross over, there 3rd race we were a bit eager and unfortunately Maisy had a light. There fastest time recorded was 8.89 seconds. We then had to sit it out until the end of the day to see where they had placed. I then went up to check the results and could see Ronny and Maisy had won. What a fantastic result, I guess with them running together for the last year or so made them have a good racing relationship and grew trust in each other on the crossovers.
Ronny was also entered in the ABC singles event. I knew Ronny had a good chance going in it as he is definitely one of the quickest ABC (anything but collie) dogs I have ever seen.
Ronny had a great run, wasn't running full power though, I think he was missing the encouragement he usually gets from Maisy in the ring. Still I checked the results and noticed Ronny had won!!!!
What a fantastic day, 2 x 1st places, who could have asked for anymore. Well done Ronny.
