For those that don’t know what SprintDog is, it’s a trial where dogs run a 100 metre straight track following a lure of plastic bags. There is a release person and a catcher. There are rules to do with who can release and catch, how to release and catch, the type of collars they can or cannot wear, time frames, and more.
This is a video of Joy doing a SprintDog trial at KCC Park, Skye. Some events have the permanent fixed fencing, others use hunting.
I always have a friend release Joy, so she is running to me and I catch her.

Hi. The other reason for my absence from club is that I’ve been doing SprintDog with Joy. But we will be back.

Coppertop Hart of Gold (Joy), bred by Julie Hovell of Coppertop Dobermanns has officially been awarded three SprintDog titles.
SprintDog Novice
SprintDog
SprintDog Advanced
So she is now known as Coppertop Hart of Gold SPRD.A
Thank you to the Melbourne Lure Club for allowing me to order these beautiful rosettes through them.

Hi everyone. I’ve been missing in action for a while as I’ve been showing the Dobermann puppy who joined my family in January. We will be back.

Zevenhek Precious Ruby (bred by Jeremy & Donna Mergler in SA) is officially Australian Champion Zevenhek Precious Ruby.
The day before she turned 10 months, Ruby won the bitch challenge and received 7 points (she had needed 1 point to reach the 100 required to apply for champion title, so she romped it in that day).
We are having a few months off showing to give her some time to mature and fill out a bit. So she’s enjoying being a farm dog (she loves showing because she gets lots of attention).

Seedling sale : Open for business.
The grounds are pretty soggy...

Hi everyone.
I know there’s dog training on Sunday, but Dobermanns are also competing at the Royal Melbourne Show that day. I’m not sure what time as yet - won’t know until later on Saturday.
We will be there from early morning until 5pm. There are 13 Dobermanns entered. There are several other breeds also being shown that day.

Ruby decided she should have a bath before she competes 🤦‍♀️ She absolutely loves water.

Excuse the stack of pots in the background. They are a work in progress.

Last weekend was Joy’s turn to shine in the limelight, and for Ruby to take a back seat. Two days of SprintDog at KCC Park Victoria.

Saturday she ran well at the Dutch Shepherd Dog Club of Victoria trial.

Sunday was the Melbourne Lure Dog Club Inc trial. Joy’s two runs combined to give her her second fastest time. Subject to Dogs Vic approval, Coppertop Hart of Gold (Joy) obtained her Advanced SprintDog title.

Freyja and Jester took their people for a walk to the " creek" Jester found every muddy puddle. Theyre loving the bands: Furnace and the Fundamentals a big favourite. But Jon Stevens is on tonight so that should be good. Lots of wildflowers out too

Good morning all
Well, the weather isn't going to be kind to us at Electra Reserve. It will be soggy underfoot and raining off and on. I'd suggest you have the morning off and practise some puppy push-ups in the family room instead.
