Keegan's Mom Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Dixie - Laura (Carsons Crazies) and I will be there all day Sunday. We can point out other board members who will be running their dogs in open and who we have met. Laura and I will also be running June (Laura) and Keegan (me) in novice/novice on Monday. This is our debut trial so it may not be pretty, but we will attempt it!!!! If you want, send me a private message or email rachel_brassine@yahoo.com and I will send you a picture of myself so you will recognize me at the trial.

Anyone trialing their dog?Robin F., Sam F., Christine K., possible Denise W., Eileen (which one are you going to?), Colin C., to name a few, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson Crazies Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Since she's probably running around too crazy to post today, as far as I know Becca S. is going too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack & Co. Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 What is proper trial "etiquette" for those of us interested in going and watching? Can you take your own dog for a bit of socialization or is that a no-no? Do you take chairs to sit in, etc.? Educate me so I don't stick out like a sore thumb!

Keegan's Mom Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Laura - do you know when Becca will be coming? Is she sleeping in your tent or mine? Jack & Co - you will need a chair, sunscreen, cooler with drinks. You are welcome to take dogs; however, most people have their dogs put up if they aren't running them. I don't usually see a lot of socialization of dogs during these events, and personally mine (Keegan anyway) isn't interested in socializing. Dixie - I will send you an email this evening after work.

Carson Crazies Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Rachel, I'm not entirely sure. I need to ask her actually. Um did I mention that my stomach is starting to feel queasy? Jack & Co., if you do bring your dog you will want to keep it leashed at all times. You won't have much opportunity for doggie socialization really, but typically a quiet well behaved dog on leash is welcomed at most trials. Like Rachel said, chair, cooler w/drinks, sunscreen, etc are all good - and I'm all about the food, so you may want to bring yourself some snacks too. You'll basically want to be prepared for the elements as you'll be hanging out outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack & Co. Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks for the helpful suggestions. There's nothing worse than a newbie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan's Mom Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Laura - I'm feeling extremely nervous too...I may have to make a run to Jason's EARLY on Friday morning!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I take Jackson to all the trials I go to. 1.Keep him leashed and under control at ALL times. 2. Stay away from the fences where any sheep are. The sheep react to a dog regardless of weather the dog is in with them or not. 3.Don't allow your dog to approach other dogs unless invited. And NEVER if the dogs are getting ready to work. 4. If your dog starts to get excited and whiney or making other noises, remove dog immediately. 5.Don't forget water for your dog! 6.Be prepared to pick up any "deposits" he might leave!

Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I can now say I'm going with confidence. We have both this weekend and next to finish moving out, so I can get away for sure. I'll come down after church Sunday as usual. I'll be running Ben on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan's Mom Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Congratulations on the sale of Brookcove, Becca!!!! You need to pass on some of that selling vibe to me and Brian!!!! Does anyone know when the running order will be posted for this weekend's trial? I've been checking the sheepdog-l but haven't noticed anything yet.

juliepoudrier Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Rachel, Running orders are usually posted pretty late. But if y'all are planning to get there on Sunday there will definitely be printed running orders available at the trial. I'm sorry I'll be missing the trial--it's always a great time. I'll be rooting for all of you from a distance. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Congratulations on the sale of Brookcove! Good luck to you all on the trial field Monday! I'm working on getting Colby to Lawndale Sunday to spectate and hope to see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
