Sheltie TV - Agility Edition: Jumping Into the New Year (Edan's CPE Trial)

I think that's the fastest I've seen Edan in your trial videos. Seems like he's getting more confident, and moving out better

OK,I only ask because I only see six weaves and thought it was Novice.The courses look fun but pretty easy.

I was surprised to only see 6 weaves as well, usually there is 12. The difference with 6 vs 12 poles at level 3 is that you CANNOT make a mistake on the weaves if there are only 6; with 12 poles you can fix bad entries or pops.

The course on Sunday only had 6 poles because it was a level 2/3 combined course. Level 2 can't have more than 6 weaves on the course.

And yeah, these courses were to the easier side. The first Level 3 standard I ran in September was more difficult. The Jumpers course with the serpentine was more difficult. (Not because I had issues with the serpentine but figuring out how to best handle it from the tunnel to the serpentine to the 1st jump after the serpentine.)

That jumpers course look fun also .I did notice your send hand keeps shooting to the sky.You guys are a great team.Nice Job!!!!
 
There was a professional photographer at the my New Year's CPE trial. She posted the proofs (untouched) pictures on line. There are some great shots of Edan which is why I wanted to link to them. Unfortunately I didn't purchase any because in most of them you can see his shaved leg from the surgery (dental and cyst removal) in early December.

Jumpers 3,4,5,C - http://www.cindynolandphotography.com/cpe111/satj345c/cpe111_9780.htm (Pictures 9780 - 9784) (Since I know we all like Shelties in motion, there is some other Sheltie cuteness right before Edan's shots, a Blue Merle numbers 9773-9776; and a Sable 9777-9779)

Wildcard 3,4,5,C - http://www.cindynolandphotography.com/cpe111/satw345csm/cpe111_9446.htm (Pictures 9446 - 9454) (More Sheltie goodness, not Edan, can be found on pictures 9433-9439)

(Sunday) Standard 2,3 - http://www.cindynolandphotography.com/cpe111/sunst23/cpe111_0134.htm (Pictures 0134 - 0137) (More Shelties in motion: Blue Merle 0157-0165; and Sable 0228-0328)
 
The pictures turned out nicely--too bad about his shaved fur.

In the first picture, it's an interesting angle. He looks like he took off really early, but I'm not sure if it's just that I've never seen a picture of that angle.

A lot of his pictures look like he takes off to early. But, if you look at all the pictures, since they are all the same jump from just after take off through landing, he clears it with room to spare; in fact he would clear a 16 inch jump if you count the jump cups. (In CPE Edan jumps 12 inches.)

Edan tends to read his jumps very well and has a nice arch to his jumps (which is what we train for; Mecklenburg's jumping method).

I do agree though; too bad about the shaved leg.
 
First, the photos. I personally like 9448. You can't tell his leg is shaved either. ;) I love jumping Shelties.

And you CAN tell the difference btwn Sat and Sun. I didn't think I would be able to, but he's like a different dog. He's running, not trotting, and looking like he's having a blast!

Great runs. Great send on the Jackpot! Looks like a nice start for the new year. :)
 
great pix- too bad that you can see the shaving in some of the pix :(
Blue Merle 0157-0165- this blue looks like he was flying through the weaves :smile2:
