Maple leafs Flyball

It seems ages since our last flyball tournament which was back in freezing cold January. We had two teams entered today, the Power Paws Flyers were seeded 5th and had some very tough races against teams who were doing much faster times than they declared so didn't really stand a chance. We also had to borrow 2 dogs from another team and although they did fantastic its hard to get it all together when you have never raced together before. They ended up 6th out of 7 but put in some good runs.


The Power Paws were also short of dogs but thankfully all managed to keep it together. Zeus and Lolly were racing for the first time and did really well and didn't really slow as the day went on. Cai was a star and is really starting to focus on his job... now i just need to trust him a bit more! We were seeded 2nd so were hoping to do ok but were very surprised when we won every leg to finish 1st with a best time of 21.8 seconds. We had declared a time of 22 seconds and never went more than 1 second either way so managed to keep consistent too. We won a lovely framed photo which was a nice surprise. Now we just have our first multibreed on Monday to enjoy/panic about! Im not expecting much but it would be nice to get a few points.
