Well, the weather was good for us in Basingstoke, great venue (despite the thieving gypsies !) ... only one mover and one shaker (lots of dogs in "no mans land" still).
Shaker...
Freya hits 955 points... and is guaranteed her Flyball dog award after Englefield ... nice work Freya :-)
Mover...
This is a special mover for the Rooky Racers, Alfie has been with us from (almost) the start, and on May 8th 2010 left a successful starters team, that won at Imber Court, to go open... and what an opening points haul... 225!... in context, no other dog has ever had such a large points haul on their first outing!.
Over the next 4 years Alfie has been through the good times (400 &405 points in one day) and the bad times (let down by other dogs racing who had not renewed their BFA membership, so lost 6 months worth of points).
Other good days = being in the winning team at the BFA UK Championships for two years in a row (very impressive !).
Alfie is a "home grown" Rooky dog; never raced for another team.... this makes the 3rd Silver Flyball Award of the team all that more special :-) Nice work Alfie, Nigel and Diane, our first home grown Silver Award*.
* At Englefield we were asked "who did Ruby, Lacey, CJ and Radley race with before the Rooky Racers"?... they were genuinely surprised to know they were home grown... just like every other dog on the team :-)
