2020 Updates- Team USA for Brazil !!

by pyrwild, posted in photos, trial results, updates

We ditched our AKC Nationals plan and instead graciously accepted an invite to join Team USA for the Americas y Carribe event March 26-29th in Brazil !! 🎉🇺🇸 AyC is an FCI event that is like the European Open but for the Americas.  We are really looking forward to this exciting opportunity !

Zae also qualified for World Team Tryouts last weekend and we will be heading to Minnesota in May to do our best and hopefully earn a spot on the world team ! 😱🇺🇸

We’ve been working hard, pushing ourselves and continuing to learn lots !  From practicing on courses from big international events, to scoping out and setting up/running courses from judges we will see in Brazil and attending seminars to learn and grow other from successful international competitors.  The learning never stops and we can always continue to get better and better.  I love continuing to learn and better myself so I can continue to offer the best to my lovely students.

We also attended the ISC cup up in Mulino in January.  The judge was world renowned Tamas Traj from Hungary- who will also be a  judge this year at our USA world team tryouts !  Was a lot of fun to run his courses… and at an AKC trial !! Was such a cool event with a fun group !  I look forward to ISC events continuing to show up- they are exactly what USA agility needs.  🎉

In February, Onnea turned a year old !!  We celebrated the day Feb 19th with a fun run here and fundraising for Zae’s trip.  A good time was had by all.  ❤️ It’s hard to believe.  And hard to imagine life without her.  She is such a special and cool dog.  I love her sooo much !!

We also had a New Years Day fun run to ring in the new year with agility, fun and friends.  Here are some photos from the event.  Full gallery on Flickr.

B.A.S.E. & KC’s International Agility Fest 2017

by pyrwild, posted in updates

Zae and I will travel to Germany this August to compete at the Berger Agility Sommer Event in Borkin, DE and then the travel to England by caravan for the next weekend at the Kennel Clubs International Agility Festival.  B.A.S.E. is an international all pyrshep competition.  Many of Zae’s relatives will be there along with tons of other amazing pyrsheps!   I am looking forward to seeing friends old and new.  🙂  KC Fest is a huge four day event outdoors.

Recently we had competed outdoors one day and there was a chance it could rain.  Everyone was hoping the weather held off while I was secretely hoping that it rained for practice for Zae.  :o)  He had only competed outdoors once before many months ago so and much to my approval it did rain for our first run in the morning quite steadily.  The surface was safe just a wet hazey rainy morning.  Zae was completely unphased and ran great.  Good dog.  Sometimes he’s just too easy and perfect in his own way.  That being said, little princess Mayhem who does NOT like the rain actually did run (I completely expected nothing out of him…but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take right, ha!) and Q’d!

I am looking forward to traveling, spending some extra time and going on extra adventures with my little skipskap.  Regardless of how he may or may not do at any of these competitions the trip will be a wonderful time.  At B.A.S.E. we are going for the fun and novelty of it (and cool that we are coming from the USA for it as I’m sure not many are) but I do not expect anything out of Zae’s level at the event.  He is a young dog and has come a long way and I look forward to continuing to grow as a team with him over time.  What is most important are the little beautiful moments…they are building blocks.  And KC Fest is just a bonus for fun.  My intentions are to just have fun and take it all in stride with Zae.  It will be good practice and a fun first ‘international’ or large event for him.  I am thinking of it as a like a training boot camp and not as a competition.  See what skills we do have, see where we can improve and train better.

As for now we are mostly on an agility break.  Mayhem recently earned QQ #10 putting him halfway to his championship!!  And Zae passed the CGC test (a temperament test).  I really do adore these PyrWild doggies. 🙂

(also, I gotta say my entry fee for KC fest 12 runs could maybe get me 3 runs in the USA :o) sooo lucky over there! ha)
