Puppy plans

Breeding Plans

Sollte alles nach Plan verlaufen plane ich im Herbst 2016 einen Wurf mit Zookie. Der zukünftige Vater ist ziemlich sicher, allerdings möchte ich ihn gern persönlich treffen, was ich im Sommer vor habe.

Welpeninteressenten können sich gerne bei mir melden (laura.reinhalter@gmx.at) allerdings ist die Warteliste für Hündinnen schon voll.

If all goes well, I'm planing a litter with my zookie in autumn 2016. There is a already a father - to - be but I want to meet him, before it's fixed.

If you are interested in a puppy you can always write me (laura.reinhalter@gmx.at), but the waiting list for a female is already quite long!

We're still alive ...

... but yes i was a bit busy and lazy recently. We did a few competitions, sometimes we had good results and sometimes we learned what to train more.

So i decided to retrain Zookies Running contacts. Unfortunately, I don't have the chance to train on a dogwalk more than  once a week, and even then, the "normal" training suffered. So I got quite upset, as she started to do this huge stride when i allowed her just a bit of speed infront of the dogwalk - without speed we got perfect striding and contacts. It would have been okay for me if she only had problems in trials, but it was also bad in training.
So here's the new situation, I started Target running contacts training. For now it looks good I think, and I'm really happy that Zookies breeder Olga Kwiecien supports us with this. Here is a video of recent trainings and Target in the end:

Of course, we stopped competing because I don't want her to do dogwalk now. But we took the chance and ran some jumpings. And last weekend she could win the Jumping Open run - yeaaaah . She was 2 seconds faster then the next medium dog - wow I knew she is fast but she doesnt look that fast on videos I think :O here is the video

First Competitions

So finally Zookie got 18 months on 29th december, and on this day we also ran our first competition in a small hall in austria. She was measured 42,3cm there, so exactly what I measured at home :). As I was really busy the last weeks with exams, snowboarding and christmas, we didnt have much time to work on slalom.So the results were one funny dis and one slalom fault in the second run!

Two days later we started our journey to germany and to BACK. Zookies sister Babou, her brother Brego and of course mummy and some uncles and aunts were running there too. I was really nervous and curious how she will run on sand, so unfortunately I was late and slow most of the time :D. Here are some runs:

On second day we managed to run a clean jumping run and got 2nd, just a little bit after Werner and Xi, I was quite happy with it, so we even qualified for the finals. It was soooo great, we got eliminated because of a flying see-saw, but who cares?

On sunday we had another clean run in jumping and won it, as fasted of all height classes!

Video

I am especially proud on our contacts, Zookie is really not stable on it and we have lots of work to do, but she only missed one dogwalk contact on sunday, where I was 300meter behind her :D
