airbear Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 This weekend, Wick (who is about 11.5 years old) laid down a lovely Steeplechase run. Two sets of poles, and she still went well over 5YPS. Ignore the a-frame contact - she does LOL! So proud of my little girl dog, who is as fun to run now as she was when we started 10 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHUMgEgCG-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Boots Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah Wick! Yeah for senior dogs. Boots is the same way; I think he's actually more fun to run now then he was a couple of years ago. I don't put the same pressue on us; I'm just happy he's still out running and having fun with me. It's actually sort of a relief to run him, he's like the good old pair of jeans, everything just fits, we know what to expect of each other. Renoir on the other hand is still getting broken in and there's days the button just doesn't snap. ETA: great video; thanks for sharing!

SS Cressa Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I hope that is me and Cressa when she gets to be double digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Beautiful run. My eyes must be getting old, I thought she got one paw in the AF contact zone. Jovi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbear Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Beautiful run. My eyes must be getting old, I thought she got one paw in the AF contact zone. Oh, not even close! But who cares! At her age, she doesn't need to do her 2o/2o (although it would be nice if she could jump a little lower - kthanks). She is still as crazy about agility as ever, and still as loud. She makes me laugh, even when the runs don't go well, and I will never have as talented and driven an agility dog as her. She is one of a kind.

airbear Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 And then there is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9DxNFRMgsc I believe the agility gods have a great sense of humour. For 10 years, I've been running a dog who sucks into tunnels, and now I have one who won't go in one unless the stars are perfectly aligned!

SecretBC Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Love both videos! And I, too, hope that any or all of my dogs are still running half as well when they are that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Must be something in the name. My Wick turns 10 in a few weeks and still is laying it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Best of Luck to Wick at the Regionals. She looks primed and ready. I love those old girls still doing agility. We are having a birthday party for one of the dogs in our agility class this week because we feel that a dog that is still training and competing at agility at TWELVE years old should get a special celebration. The great thing about it is that Lily has actually become faster in the last year. Since her handler entered our class about a year ago, the instructor has shown the handler how to speed up her dog. Can't wait to hear (and see the video) of how Wick does. Jovi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSnappy Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Tweed likes the idea of 12 year old dogs getting special celebrations for competing! He won his division at the BC/Yukon Regionals last month and is heading to Nationals in August to defend his title ;-) He turned 12 in May.
