Today we were at Portway competing in flyball. We have on past occasions always recorded a new time at this show so we had it all to work for. It has been some time since we last raced so it was always going to be a hard day for our two inexperienced dogs Dylan and Keisha.We decided in training yesterday that we would be running in a new order, Keisha was to go first followed by Maisy, Ronny and Dylan.
The first race went brilliantly and we recorded a new fastest time of 19.93, we had kept the tradition going.
Even with a new quicker time the dogs were still not at full speed. Although Maisy, Ronny and Dylan were running quick we soon realised that Keisha was not at her best. We later identified that Keisha didn't like running first and this showed in her times.
We swapped the running orders around quite a few times in the day and can safely say that Keisha is at her best when she can run onto a dog and Dylan when he runs last.
Today was very encouraging and when we finally sort out the correct sequence this team holds a very promising future.
We have come away with 3rd place and a new personal best and still lots to work on.
Well done team, what can we do next time !!!
It's not all about flyball, we can do anything for a ball......
