Agility with Zest! trial 4.

Basenji Training
  • Zest finished her Novice Agility Perferred (NAP) this weekend and got her second Novice P Jumpers leg. Her two NQ runs were nice, took an extra jump in jumpers and was a little distracted in her first ever Open P standard run. All in all, I'm very pleased with her runs this weekend. She's still showing good focus and speed, a willingness to work with me, and seems to be having fun. We're done for the year, but our next trial (Jan) she'll be doing 16" jump height and back to novice.

    And in other news, Jet celebrates his 12th birthday today.

  • Zest way to go yes sounds like this was a nice finish. Rest and get ready for Jan.
    Jet Happy Birthday your almost a teenager then look out.

    WooHoo for Zest… and hugs to Jet for a happy birthday.....

    The breeding that didn't take last year, are you going to retry? Do you still have frozen "Jet"?

  • The bitch was older, sort of a last chance breeding, so no.

    and yes, there is some frozen jet pellets at the vet's.

  • Woohoo for Zest!! And a Happy Birthday for Jet! :)

  • Congrats to Zest!!

    Well, that was a bust, turns out the course wasn't fully enclosed alone, too many other dogs to even pay attention. She did have a blast with all the other happy dogs! So it was still a fun outing!

    Thanks so much Lisa and Joe for all the fabulous pictures! I will have to sit down and look at them all after work tonight. I know there will be a few special ones in there I just have to have. :) And congrats on those two lovely boys, very special week indeed!

    That was very nice for a first try. She will improve greatly as she becomes more seasoned. Beautiful little gal. You're doing well with her. Heck, just getting a Basenji to do all that is a triumph. I thought it was cute how she went around to greet the judges. Such a little ambassador.:D

    I have been a bit of chicken about entering a competition. I think I am going to give one a try either this May or June. I am going to start in CPE because their level 1 should be a good place for me the novice handler and Rio my novice dog.

    @ZenGrrrl: Hi Pat … I've never done lure coursing before, but would like to try it out with my B-boy. We're in Los Angeles; any recommendations on the closest coursing location(s)? ~ Lori ~ If you check ASFA (www.asfa.org) and AKC (www.akc.org) you can find were trial are being held… also Lisa might chime in here and give you a PM to her Mom that lives in So. Cal and courses quite a lot.
