Video of Dexter’s first agility trial!

 

 

 

*proud*

And incidentally, it happened to also by the weekend that his sister Cricket and brother Sagan also ran FEO at an AAC trial in Kamloops!! Here’s videos of them too :)

Phil and Sagan:

What a bunch of keeners, and what a talented family! I *heart* our Peanuts!

    Fantastic runs! It’s wonderful to see your intense-eyed Dex in action, FL! You must be one proud mum.

    That was so fun to watch! He’s like a Speedy Gonzales jumping bean! I felt like I was watching him run in fast forward!

    Wow, you guys look great! What nice start line stays! What nice contacts! What good (baby dog) teamwork!

    Kepler is about 2-3 times as fast as Dexter in that video, but he has yet(!) to comprehend that agility is a team sport or a thinking sport. He just runs headlong towards whatever equipment he happens to see, which, unless it’s a tunnel, usually goes flying when he crashes through it and the course must be rebuilt before the next dog can run. But even if it takes us a decade to get to the point you and Dex have already reached, I love him anyway, and at least he’s the King of Tunnelers :)

    Also, I have to say that after 365 days plus however many months of countless still photos of Dexter, it’s kind of a shock to see him in motion.

    He’s bouncy!

    Great runs! What amazing contacts and a speedy fella. You have quite the agility star on your hands. Can’t wait to see more!

    Youtube/Sony won’t let me watch Dex’s movie because of the music it contains. :(

    I wouldn’t know a gambler from a jumper, but Dexter is just awesome!

    What fun! Wonderful first time out!

    And, he *is* ginormous! It’s obvious in photos that he’s a tall boy, but to see him moving? Giraffe, indeed.

    You’ll have a great time with that one.

    Fun! Wow, so is he jumping 26″? Man, he’s tall!

    I love watching Dex. He seems so into it. I started agility with my lab. She does it at a walk and can barely get over the jumps at the lowest level. I can’t convince her to go a little faster. I can almost hear her thinking – anything for a treat.

    btw, I posted your blog on my facebook page and asked my readers to get you over 1000. I have a feeling my daughter (I see her on your friends list)and her soroity did just that!

    I know absolutely nothing about agility, but….What a fantastically enthusiastic doggie he is! I loved all the extra bouncing he does while waiting for the next thing.

    Whoohoo! Way to go, Dex and TFL! Dexter looks like a kangaroo.

    Wow, he’s coming along quickly! His enthusiasm is great! Bouncy is right!

    So I say to Glenn ‘Wanna watch Dexter’s trial?!”
    And he says ‘Who’d he kill?’

    I think he got him confused with the Twoo gangstas.

    Awesome job Dex.
    You rocked it.

    Well done! Go Food Lady and Dex!

    Lovely sends for a baby dog – you are going to need them when he hits his peak. lol Damn nice start-line stay, too. I see people letting a dog break his stay at a trial and think that if that were a fault, a lot of dogs would have better start line stays. Very, very nice first time out. Congratulations to both of you!

    I loved getting to see them all grown up and running. Dexter is a powerhouse, WOW! What a lovely dog to have as a team member!
