We were all mad to enter a Multibreed tournament so soon. Two of the dogs had there first ever tournament in the starters on Friday and both have only been training for a few months. Cai is very experienced but i wasn't sure if he had the will power to stay in his own lane and Frazzle is reliable but you never know what they will do the first time competing without netting! Also we were having problems with Zeus returning over the jumps at full height so had to borrow a Staffie as height dog from the Mad Mutts which turned out to be a fantastic move as he was great and got the lights spot on.
We didn't need to worry either as all the dogs put in a great performance and Cai was just amazing. He ran nearly every leg, we only pulled him so Zeus could run last as he doesn't like doesn't like dogs crossing too tight on his return. We put in some great times and didn't break out which a lot of the other teams did, we also stayed consistent and actually got slightly faster as the day went on. We finished 4th overall (out of 7) which we are all very pleased with as we didn't go to win today just see if our dogs were ready for open. It was a fantastic start to open tournaments for us and we cant wait to do more now we know we can trust our dogs!
Cai also raced in the singles competition. I did his 3 runs right at the end of the day after a full days racing in the divisions and i didn't expect great times but wow he really found some power from somewhere and put in 3 fantastic times his best being 4.09 seconds. This was good enough to win it so im very pleased. If only id run him early in the day... i think he would have managed sub 4 seconds then. He really is a dog in a million and i wont ever have another like him.
