Cavall's Steeplechase Championship Regionals 2009

Regional Championships 2009

Luc first trial

ouch was really a ouch!!!!

4 broken ribs......from the first accident. Then this last Tuesday afternoon, Cavall and Luc collide while chasing balls, smack right into Luc's right side, ribs bowed out, got xrays this morning, everything is good, found the "healed" ribs from the first collision. must be muscle, so off to the Canine Fitness Center

Luc's first trial

Luc earned 2 qualifying runs in his first trial!
I got everything I asked from him. I made a handling mistake in the jumpers and standard and did not support a couple of the jumps and he pulled off them.
Next time I am going to be the handler this dog deserves!!!
A dear friend of mine, Penny, videoed our steeplechase run that we "Qed" and placed
2nd in. Dogs of all levels compete at this game masters to starters.
a beautiful border, Blue Eye Skye , master level dog was first.... Watch out Skye, Luc loves to catch the girls!

Please find the link to YouTube in the side bar to watch Luc run his Steeplechase.

Luc's Ouch

Well Luc is hurt. He ran into a steel pipe racing with his "brother" Craig.
He is quite bruised and stiff with swelling. Happened at 8:30 yesterday morning. I had an appointment scheduled with the Canine Fitness center for Luc and Cavall's regular check up, so if it was going to happen, yesterday was the day.
Margert said he was very lucky not to have broken any ribs. Has it was he had ribs, spine, hip and pelvis that were out. He was adjusted, treated with laser and about 45 minutes with the magnetic blanket. Cold packs applied when we got home, and leash walking for a few days. No agility for 2-3 weeks. Oh boy that will be a long time.
Luc is in very good condition which probably helped not be any worse and hopefully with being young he will mend quickly. He goes back in for reassessment on Oct. 19.
