Hey aragorn, cool avatar. Where r u at now?

Just hv 2 b careful bout doing agility on a tarred tennis court. If ur JRT is fast n furious, may damage nail n paws. Also d constant pounding on hard surface doesnt do anything 4 d joints n limbs. After awhile, ur dog may loose interest or d drive 4 agility sport. Grass is always d preferred surface.

Hey luv the shot of Piper running, seems really happy doing so.

Very nice shots of Mother & Son tugging on stick, last pic where Son kena sound is great! U using pre focus/ auto focus/ AI focus/ continuous shooting/ high shutter speed.

These r my limited shots coz these fellas r always at full speed. Groovy with Oreo, Angel n Russell at training grounds

Am using shutter speed of 1/160 - 1/200, any slower n will b shaky n blur coz panning very fast just to keep up with them rascals. Or mayb my hands not as steady anymore n will need to get the IS lens u mentioned ... but cant afford it lah.

Yup training moved to Monfort Boys Town field at Shah Alam, near Giant. U cn drop by 2 look c n snap pics. Should b there starting this weekend.

Shadow seems 2 b doing fine on d obstacles to date. Tip: try 2 run Shadow on both sides ie. on your left n right sides, n not just d heeling side. Will b very useful later on ven u take part in trials.

Talking bout trials, Petnu will b running deir 2nd Agility n OB Challenge on 13 May at BU Central Park. Think Shadow shld b ready by then for Basic Jumpers class n possibly Novice Jumpers as well. For details, refer to http://www.petnyou.com.my/?q=node/218

Nothing like good round of exercise n activity 2 tire out a JRT. Socialising with Groovy is like socialising with a grumpy old man, ha ha. But he doesnt mind if Spidee likes running about n giving chase with him for d ball.

Wow designing intermediate courses already, dats pretty advanced. He'll b fine after op but will hv 2 rest for at least 1 week.

Agility is a fairly new sport in Msia n since there's no governing body, there's no fixed rules as to wat applies ... very much left to individual training school's interpretation n initiative 2 develop d sport. As such, v also refer 2 d Western countries' experience n established rules 4 agility trials.

R u referring 2 course difficulty levels? There aren't many books here on d subject but there r sites u can refer to.

Brave is a true JRT trait n some wld even say brave to a fault ... hence d saying,

'Your heart will be stolen, n from time to time broken, by allowing a JRT in.' - Catherine Brown

Cool, nice action shots from today's trials! Must get d originals from u.

U shld join us for agility as well.

Dog Olympic was rather eventful for all d wrong reasons. C http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/258555/+120

Will try n post up some pics later.

How old is ur pup? JRTs r typically confident, brave n feisty. But u get all types ... shy isnt so bad, as long as he's not scared or timid. To boost confidence, make sure he gets plenty of outdoor activities n socialising sessions, mixing regularly with dogs, humans n kids. Don't perpetuate d situation by cradling/babying him whenever he's scared. Instead refocus his attention to an enjoyable activity or playtime.

Unless u wish to hv a guard dog, best not to encourage barking as a JRT cn b rather persistent in making his views heard. Given a choice, most wld prefer a quiet dog. A quiet dog is easier to handle, gives an impression of being well behaved n u cn bring him out to public n eating places.

Hey Jenn77, since u r into JRTs & Silky Terriers, here's a shot of Junior n Groovy enjoying d sea breeze at Gurney Drive during d Penang agility trials.

JRTs hv a fairly long lifespan of up to 15 years.

Blossom n Zai Zai look pretty cool. Hope to catch u guys in future dog events.

That sounds like me. Thanks for d video plug goldfries, nice!

Nice avatar for JRTs, no wonder d JRT looks so familiar.

Yup got ur sms, amanda's around but will b going for Penang trials this weekend.
