Yes. Nobody should give you any trouble with you bringing your dog(s). All dogs must be on a lead at all times, no retractable leads. Have to be careful around the other dogs, some are feisty, shouldn't be a big deal. Saturday they will start with 26 inch dogs at 8:00 am and will work down to the 4 inch dogs. Because of running in 2 rings & the different classes there will be different height dogs running thru out the day. Usually if you go in the front door go past the bleachers & almost back to the back door take a left at the end of the ring & we will be to the right along the wall. Usually the only 2 Icelandic's there. Most people will be able to point you in our direction.


Hopefully we will see you there.

Bob,
When I read the title; it almost made me think that you were entering Wylie!
For THAT; I'd have come North to root for him!! :thumbup:

That would be interesting, as he would have to complete the course on his hands & knees. 19 obstacles in the pre-determined sequence in 72 seconds or less. All dog handlers should have to do it.:yikes::yikes::yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

He's pretty spry...
I wouldn't bet against him! :thumbup:

We were there on Saturday from 10 A.M. to just after 11 A.M. We got to see our dog's vet run her dog. What I noticed, if I understand it correctly, were dogs in the same height class had a wide variation in speed. Some dogs zipped right through the course, other dogs lumbered their way through. A few times it appeared that a dog was slowed b/c the handler couldn't keep up. We left after an hour b/c we had plans to go paddle boating in Fairport NY. It was a nice ride on the Spyder.
