except that ONE time LOL. She knows the game now!! Look at her go!She ran her heart out, as always
LOL, yes. As always, since the first two runs...except that ONE time LOL.

It is to me, but it takes 25+ mph to make the top 100 in Dobermans! Since we don't do it often and she's now over 5 years old, I expected her to be slowing down, but we aren't in it for speeds anyway, just to let her bust out and have fun. I only stated her time because it surprised me that she went so fast without doing a Fast Cat since a year ago at this same venue.24 plus MPH is impressive!
No, doesn't change anything at home. She never chased our cat or the chickens and still doesn't. She's always been allowed to chase squirrels and still does (to no avail). I'd say if you're having problems with chasing animals at home or on walks (no off or recall) you *might* have an increased drive, but it's such a context-driven thing it won't hold any similarity to home or wildlife situations. If you're solid on training and the dog knows not to chase the cat, chickens, deer, whatever, that will not be undone by chasing the plastic bag.I've read that participating in the sport doesn't increase the drive to chase animals outside of the context of trashbunny -- have you found this to be the case?
Yeah, I was just venting aimlessly. I'm over it now and the positive side is that it saved me a few bucks.It is frustrating to only have one but at least it's a very good one! I've had photographers completely miss my dogs or take bad out of focus photos.
Great way to look at it honestlythe positive side is that it saved me a few bucks.![]()
