a new personal best for Kiah!

We zipped down Sunday to join the rest of the Furry Flash gang for the last day of the KAOS Turning on the Heat Tournament.  This is the largest tournament I've ever been and had four lanes running!

Kiah ran part time as we just came down for the one day.  The last race we put her back in the start position.  I got some help on my timing and Kiah posted some great starts down under .010 (yeah us) and really put on the gas in this position resulting in her best time ever of 4.980!  that's almost .2 off her previous personal best.  She's starting to love racing and gives me dirty looks when it's not her turn.

We have a couple week break and then will be heading to Craven for a tournament for the long weekend in September and the Diamonds in the Ruff tournament the weekend after.  That will be the last tournament we are planning for as after that we'll be busy getting ready for puppies!

Of course after running only part time we had some energy to burn so back home we went and worked on some disc stuff

Flyball Flyball Flyball and exciting news is just around the corner

Yes its the theme of our summer.  The end of July saw us down in Craven for another flyball tournament.  Once again running with Furry Flash- we ran on an open team with several new dogs from another team.  Kiah also ran start position for the first time.

The best part though is kiah is starting to LOVE her job at this sport- she gets revved up- she wants to run and be fast.  She knocked an entire second off her previous running times with a new personal best of 5.134 seconds.  And she's just starting to put some speed on she's got lots more left to use.

We have three more tournaments in this season- we head back down to Regina in august and Craven again in september then we'll be back home in Saskatoon for the Diamonds in the Ruff tournament.


And then our winter is going to be full of puppies.  I will be announcing in the next few days who we're breeding kiah to.  And I'm very excited with what this pairing will bring us!
