In the middle of May we were in a training camp with our team, the RKKI Agility Team. We were able to train with three fantastic coaches and improve our theoretical knowledge. Since Gergő is still injured, he was watching his puppies from the sidelines this time 🙂
You can see the videos of Nova, Nia and Dance by clicking on their names.
For many years, the Rákosmenti KKI has been taking part in the district’s Ebkavalkád children’s day programme. Dance, Nova, Nia and Fox were also present at the agility show. It was Nia’s first time, she was super concentrated and did the task perfectly in the middle of a lot of children, other animals and noise, we are very proud of her! Thanks a lot to Attila Vukman for the video, and Mariann Kele for the great pictures!
Last weekend Nova competed on Smaragd Cup, he got a 3rd place in J3.
Unbelievable, there are already 4 years old! May you guys be happy and successful for a very long time!
Chios made his debut at his first ever show in Greece this weekend. He was BOS both days and became Greek JuniorCh straight away. Her owner Aggeliki Maladi showed several dogs and collected many titles with them. Big congratulations for all the successes and thank you for the opportunity to see Chios at a show!
The 2nd round of the tryouts round has also been completed. Our feelings are mixed as the dogs again exceeded our expectations, but in the last run Gergő break his Achilles tendon, so unfortunately he has a very long rehabilitation period ahead of him.
This weekend we had the opportunity to run on fantastic courses, we had the chance to challenge our own and our dogs’ skills, thanks to the judges! This time I am posting the same jumping race from day 4, performed by Dance and Nova, on this course they ran the same time for a hundredth 🙂
We collected several podium finishes during the whole qualification series, and finally the following result was achieved, based on the points system:
Dance qualified for the EO and the AWC in team, Nova qualified for the EO and she is the reserve for the AWC team. Unfortunately, Gergő and Dance will not be able to participate in the EO due to injury, but we will do everything we can to rehabilitate him in order to qualify for the World Championships.
Last weeken Nova and Dance competed on Bing Agility Cup.
Nova: 2X A3 1st place
Dance: 1XA3 2nd place.
We had mixed feelings about the Tryouts, but our doggies 100% exceeded all our non-existent expectations! Dance had just started dompeting with minimal training since the litter, but we were not happy with his movement. We alternated periods of rest and 1-1 training before it became certain that a muscle in his shoulder was the problem. 4 months of rest and physio awaited her and we were very calculated to only be ready with a safe recovery, with only 1 training session at 40cm and 3 sessions on full track. Nova although fantastic and definitely has the potential to make national team, I’m not too motivated about it. However, in the first run showed what he is made of: he had the fastest clear run in all size categories, and gave for all competitors the time for the individual World Championship points. They both did a fantastic job all weekend, we are extremely proud of them. We managed to score some points, but after the first round it’s pointless to analyse who is where… 🙂
Thank you to the fantastic team at Ebfizio for getting us to the Tryouts, we couldn’t have done it without them!
Here you can see a video from each of the Dance and Nova runs.
Thanks again to János Balogh for the pictures of the race!
In this year’s Republic Cup Fox competed, Nova and Dance participated as visitor only. But Foxy finished 3rd in the open agility with a beautiful run and 1 bar, congratulations!
