COCKAPOO OLYMPICS 2012

As I have hinted over the last few day's I've been putting together some idea's for an event that would coincide with the London Olympics 2012

I am willing to organise the above event which will be totally for fun with a little bit of competition thrown in for those who love a challenge. I propose to hold three disciplines, you will be able to enter 1, 2 or all 3 Or you could just come along and enjoy a great day of Cockapoo Fun

The three events are:-

Obedience: - This will be carried out on or off lead. It will consist of 2 left,
2 right turns, 2 about turns, 2 halts in the sit position, a recall and a retrieve.

Agility: - This will be conducted off the lead against the clock, the course will consist of approximately 14 obstacles such as:- Hurdles/Jumps, Long Jump, Tunnels, See-Saw, Pause Table, Weave, A Frame and a Dog Walk
All the obstacles will be small and simple nothing more than what you will have come up against in your classes if you’ve done your Puppy and Bronze Award.

Best Trick: - As it say’s, show off the trick’s you’ve taught your Cockapoo, anything goes really!!

Venue and Date:- Woodland Water's, Ancaster, Lincolnshire. 14/15/16 Sept 2012. That will make most of us who got puppies this summer over 14 months of age which will be ideal to have them schooled on the small obstacles that will be used. Although if there is enough interest from people who have younger Cockapoo's I can adjust the height, length etc of the obstacles and we could have age categories. I also thought we could charge a small entry fee for each event you enter and all proceeds given to Charity of which we would nominate nearer the event

Supporting Attractions:- I am hoping to have a display of Obedience to Music and a Man-Work or Search Dog Display from the Royal Air Force or an International Dog Training Agency

I have also been busy on the sponsorship front and I'm pleased to say I have secured 'JukeeDoodles' as our event sponsor

Let me know what you think and I realise some may think it to far to travel but I am willing to source some pet friendly B/B's so as you can spread the driving etc I think it will be a great event and hopefully one to remember

Sounds great a pink track suited cockapoo climbing on the table I think we've got our first entry into the 'Best Trick' catergory

 

[MillieDog]

Ooh! I'd better get Millie some more training in. Not that I'm competitive

Sounds like a lot of fun. Would like to take part, but it will depend on when and where. But neither of these will prove too great a problem.

Wonder which event will be Millie's best :car: :first:

You could be our overseas competitor

Count me in with Flo and Remy. Maybe we could add a flyball competition and flyball have-a-go (me and Strof51 could rustle something up) and some quick fun stuff like fastest recall and longest stay

Wilfiboy - if it's up you way I may be looking for a bed for the night

 

[jools]

Sounds great fun - count us in!!!! :jumping::jumping::jumping::jumping::jumping:

 

[Pepster]

What a fab idea! Sounds great! We would certainly like to come even just as spectators

 

[curt3007]

Count me and George in (He doesn't know it yet lol|)

I thought about Fly Ball I think it might be able to be worked in maybe as a demonstration. There's a club in my area who I may be able to get some interest. I am also interested in having a go I also need to be realistic just how much we can fit in in one afternoon

 

[Fifi]

We'd love to come, just need to find a caravan site near by ........
