Gympie Show 2014

We weren’t able to get any photos of the High Jump this year because it was threatening to rain the whole time and Mummy didn’t think it’d be safe to have our big camera out in that weather. So we brought my video camera instead, which is small enough to stick it in a jacket pocket if it rained. It did rain a bit, right near the end, but we got some videos of it anyway. I’ll be posting the video soon. Also, our big camera is having trouble with its focus, so we didn’t get as many clear shots this year. Some of the photos are odd sizes coz I had to crop them.

 

RESULTS

HIGH JUMP

Tess 2nd, Sparkie 3rd

NOVELTY DOGS

Obstacle Course - Sparkie 1st, Lassie 2nd, Tess 3rd
Best Tricks - Freya 1st, Tess 2nd
Most Obedient Dog - Sparkie 1st, Tess 2nd, Freya 3rd


Freya also won Most Improved From Last Year. Suzanna (age 6) won third place with Tess in Best Child Handler.

 

There seemed to be less competitors this year. In the High Jump there were only two other dogs entering besides ours. In Tricks too, we only had two other dogs enter apart from ours. But both actually did real tricks! One jumped through a hoop a few times, and the dog that got 3rd place hopped into an empty ice cream container with all four paws. In Obedience there was only one dog besides ours.

We performed at the RSPCA Million Paws walk yesterday, but forgot the camera. No photos, sorry. Our next show is in Springsure on 30-31 May.
