    O
    Ava and I send (very) belated happy birthday wishes to The Talented Mr. Oakley! He's as handsome as ever– but five years already? My, my, time does fly. The forum has been so quiet. I got out of the habit of checking it, because it seemed nobody ever posted. I miss those lively days, too, when somebody always had something to report or discuss. Glad to hear you and Oakley are doing well and prospering!

    He is a mommas boy..lol, last time we went to the dog park was within the week after the behaviorist and she suggested he wear his gentle leader head halter and have a muzzle so I brought them..he was awkward and the other dogs drew attention to it so I took it off and he started running so the big dogs would chase him..he loved it, but then there was a min ion and he ran ahead and I ran after him and when I arrived it was a standoff..no fight..so for me..I'm nerve wracked..he wants it,like I said but knowing it's a hair trigger makes it unenjoyable and I feel irresponsible allowing it if he could cause a fight; perhaps in the future if we can gather some people to work with us one at a time to build friends and confidence for him

    @Janneke: I find your fronts very interesting! haha.. I've never seen them any different than ours. This is an official race track, also for international (FCI) matches.. so I think they conform to the rules over here :D It is interesting to see the differences in the sport in different areas. I think the tops are kept solid here because it keeps the dogs low in the boxes when they focus on the lure. The dogs that stay very low an focused are usually the fast on the break from what I have seen. In the oval especially, the break can be the make it or break it for the dog to get and hold the rail position which can be the difference between winning or losing for some races. Watching the races is so much fun. There is so much that goes into a good race dog. They are really amazing.

    What a clever girl. I do think these 'nurse' dogs are wonderful. I assume a Basenji would be good but haven't heard of one (or was there on somewhere on this forum?)
