A rather late update on the team I'm afraid.
The last practice was a bit chaotic, the dogs all seemed to lack focus. We got through it all in the end though. And we were even able to practice some Flyball, which even Soccer-the-chronically-unfocused managed without too many mishaps.
At the tournament on Jan. 21 Digger (run by Lindsay) earned her next Scent Hurdle title and 2,500 points. This will probably be her last title seeing as she's 14 years old but what a fantastic run for a little miniature schnauzer. Congratulations to Kay, Lindsay and Digger!
And Jinx has had to retire from Scent Hurdle due to the onset of old age. She still wants to play but it is getting too hard for her so Kris has decided to retire her. Hats off to Jinx for a fantastic Scent Hurdle career.
Now it is time for the new, young dogs Mischief, Tonka, and Isis to start their careers.

Scent Hurdle Tournament
The first Scent Hurdle tournament of 2017 had 10 teams playing. Wow, that was a lot of racing, 45 races in one tournament, 9 for each team. Needless to say, there was only one tournament for the day. With fewer teams entered there will often be two tournaments in one day.
The team did well, OK we finished last, but far more importantly we had fun!
Isis and Tonka both had their first try at racing and it didn't go so well for either of them. Both newbies crossed over into the other lane on their first run and got pulled for the day. That's OK; you never quite know what will happen in that first tournament your dog runs in. They'll both get it with some more practice.
And little Robbie has become one of the more solid and reliable dogs, much to Kris' shock and amazement.
