USA Nationals Thread? - Page 2

Someone please explain about the "bumper"   that animules was talking about...I remember on the original thread ,before it got banished , several were discussing   how the dog  saw or they thought he smelled or saw the bumper , where it wasnt suppose to be,  and I took it ,to  mean, it distracted this dog and it lost a point for something...???????

Bumper was left forgotten by somebody somewhere outside the end of the field.  The dog lost 10 points as the dog did not platz on the send away but did a beautiful search, find, and retrieve of the bumper back to his handler.

Did I get that right??????

That is funny, chuck (oops frenzi, oops frensi).

In 2007......

95 in the protection in the 1 of the 2 World qualifications that Gabor did for the HU team - traveling to Europe and competing over there. 

In addition,  to competing at the SE Regionals (98 in protection from a judge that is harder on him than on other competitors -but, you did not see the work, so you ASSume) and 2nd place.

And you have done WHAT?????

 You know it,s real easy to set back and arm chair this,My question all you whining and bitching with your snied little coments what have you done? What titles have you earned with your dogs? It,s easy to set behind little screen names and pick apart others accomplishments come grow some Balls tell us your accomplishments.... Well lets hear it mouth,s!!!!

I have the wonderful feeling that most of you pet your dogs in the morning and maybe MAYBE trot them around a little ring (fufu) with people yelling "lars...lars..." with your little bells, tugs, toys, and over squated roach back useless peices of miss shapin dog species, but by god you can train, trial and compete on a national level  as these people your complaing about do ...in the words of DR Evil...RIGHT...

I don,t have the fondness feeling for the way USA sets it,s self up for the few big time folks BUT i do realize there individual accomplishments they have done it...What have you done???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It,s not much... But i,d bet it,s much more then most the mouth,s out ther running.

Oh by the way CGC is not a working title so forget the AKC stuff.  

Animules,

Yep, you got it right.  And, it must be said, Kandi handled the very bad situation with humor and sportsmanship.   The New England region sent a contingent of competitors and spectators  and boy, were they a joy to behold.   They were supportive of their club members and each other.   I never saw anyone from the Outkast club come off the field without being greeted by club members, other regional members, and particularly Claudia Romard.  Claudia was "there" for all her club-mates, depsite the fact that she was also competing and needed to take time for her pre-trial preparations, too.    I have no clue how these people act "at home,"  but this is the second year that I have seen that New England contingent and you would know that they were all from the same club, were it not for the different club jackets.  

       The regional director, Pia Blackwell, has to be given some of the credit for setting the tone.  Pia "mommed" every single one of them.    With all the events scheduled for next year ( especially the WUSV Championship),   I don't know if i will be able to make it to the North American

(continued)

Championship, but one of the reasons I want to attend is because of the wonderful people I have met from that region and the way they treat each other.    They should NOT stand out as so exceptional:  their behavior and conduct  and sportsmanship is what we should expect in the sport.   Sadly, it is rare.

Mystere,

I grew up in the sport and one things that I will always remember is this team feeling. We had a wonderful club that went to all kinds of tournaments together and everybody supported one another. I am fortunate to say that a lot of people in our Region had similar experiences and try to be a good example, showing new people in the sport how it is suppose to be. I truly think that this is the way to go, to be a role model and teach the new people about sportmanship, team spirit and fairness, because some of those people are the next competition generation. If they learn from day one, then they will not want to go without this kind of atmosphere once they start trialing. Maybe we can slowly convince more people to do the same. I would not want it differently.

Claudia

That's right Claudi !! I would not want it any other way either !!  I am so proud of each and every one of the New England dog handler  teams and even prouder to be their Regional Director .   New England ROCKS !! Outkast is a newly estaplished club in our Region with many old timers , top competitors that lend a hand to those just getting their feet wet in the sport , super group of people  .

This sport is hard enough  and without team spirit it would be a lonely road  and a even harder one to boot so no matter what happends on that trial field  someone is always there to lend a hug  a cheer and  yup we cry too !

I know I could never achieve my goals without the help and support of my friends and family    so every score I achieve with my dog is theirs too !!

oh yellow rose I did forget  I check that file cabinett  I think I do have an extra copy .  I am bad  I know :)

This years event was very well conducted and my hat off to the hosting clubs.  Every member I was in contact with was very friendly and helpful  a real nice group of people . Everything ran like clock work down to turning in the bibs and receiving scorebooks !!  Awesome JOB !!

Pia

I also like to mention  that the rule  about no  prong or e-collars on the event site   (practice times etc.)  turned out to be a very positive atmosphere . An atmospehere UScA and the hosting clubs can be proud of
