[EN] Triple opening of the season!

[Česká verze]

Lucky with the calender, we have managed to visit three competitions right in the beginning of the season.

Barnabáš during the Paralell Time Trial in Židlochovice (fourth place in the end). Thanks for the photo to Lubomír Vičan.

Welcome Summer 2015 (Dvůr Králové nad Labem)

• Barnabáš glared in Super Pro Toss and Fetch, where he caught nice 33.5 points (and two more long throws were just near misses) and has ended on the shared 27th to 29th place from 83.
• Rufus, on the other hand, got distracted by some smell in the first round and even the decent 10 points from the second round didn't yield more than the 76th place.
• The rest of the competition somehow failed mostly due to poorly executed throws, although in the windy Quadruped we improved our record to 38.5 m.
• Complete results here.

5. Morava DiscDog Distance (Majetín)

I haven't manage to tackle with the wind that badly that we should not talk too much about that. Pleasant was the KanJam, which was quite adventurous in the wind and the fact that there was almost no snow and even the rain somehow avoided the place through close neighbourhoods. We are also coming for a camp here in summer and the place looks almost perfect. In the results look for Rufus only, as Barnabáš was at home after tartar cleaning.

Calibra DiscDog Challenge 2015 (Židlochovice)

Most of the weekend I haven't given the boys any chance of catching due to suboptimal throws, but in the Time Trial, Barnabáš very reliably caught what was necessary and got even to the semifinals. There we lost against experienced Agnieszka Losak a then even to the quick border collie Judo from Ondra Uhlíř, but the resulting fourth place (out of 42) makes me happy and proud of Barnabáš! Even the cold in the night and sunburns from Sunday were worth it =). Add a great company and Maty's luxurious catering and you get a great event. Complete results.

[CZ] Trojitý otevírák sezony!

[English version]

Kalendář nám pěkně vyšel a tak jsme se hnedka zkraje dostali na troje závody.

Barnabáš při Paralelním Time Trialu v Židlochovicích (nakonec 4. místo). Za foto děkujeme Lubomíru Vičanovi.

Welcome Summer 2015 (Dvůr Králové nad Labem)

• Barnabáš zazářil v Super Pro Toss and Fetch, kde vychytal skvělých 33.5 bodů (a to se ještě dva dlouhé hody jen těsně nepodařily) a skončil tak na děleném 27.-29. místě z 83.
• Rufík se naproti tomu v prvním kole začuchal a ani celkem slušných 10 z kola druhého ho neposunulo výš, než na 76. místo.
• Zbytek soutěží selhal většinou kvůli prachšpatným hodům, byť jsme si s Rufíkem posunuli rekord na 38.5 m.
• Kompletní výsledky zde.

5. Morava DiscDog Distance (Majetín)

Celkem zvladatelnému větru jsem se tak moc nepřizpůsobil, že to snad raději nebudeme moc rozmazávat. Světlým bodem byl ve větru napínavý KanJam a také to, že navzdory předpovědi v podstatě nesněžilo a i déšť se nám celkem vyhnul přes blízké okolí. V létě sem jedeme na tábor a místo vypadá perfektně.

Ve výsledcích hledejte jenom Rufíka, Barnabáš byl po oškrabávání zubního kamene doma.

Calibra DiscDog Challenge 2015 (Židlochovice)

Skoro celý víkend jsem to klukům dost kazil nepříliš podařenými hody, ovšem v Time Trialu Barnabáš velmi spolehlivě pochytal co bylo potřeba a postoupil až do semifinále. Tam jsme sice podlehli zkušené Agnieszce Losak a v souboji o třetí místo také rychlé borderce Judo Ondry Uhlíře, ovšem z výsledného 4. místa (z celkových 42) mám ohromnou radost! I ta zima v noci za to stála =). A připočtěte ještě fajn společnost a Matyho luxusní catering a vyjde vám prima akce. Kompletní výsledky.

Memoriál Jindry Pecháčka 2014

Interestingly, this seems to be the first official dogfrisbee competition that I have ever visited with one dog only. Unfortunately, Barnabáš was having some trouble with his back, so I took Rufus for one day only.

The competition itself took place on a beautiful place with a particularly friendly atmosphere and was a pleasure to visit and not only because of the campfire with guitar songs in the evening.

Some results

SuperMiniDistance: first round quite nice (12 points is more then we usually achieve), the second wasn't the most coordinated (5.5 points). In overall 38th from 53.
DogDartbee: weak, 60 points, split 41st place from 52.
Special game: we finally took part in the usual game of this competition -- Dogdartbee with drawn dogs. Rufík with Dominika Chudobová scored more with less throws than in the official part, so I have a lot to think about =).

Dogfrisbee Camp 2014

This year we've attended the great camp of the Verča&Marky&Míša gang.

And since we were too busy enjoying and practising, there aren't very many pictures from me =). If you want more, have a look at the beautiful pictures by Yvonna and a nice gallery from Marcela.

Fun Factory For Frisbee 2014

It's been quite exactly two years since our first dogfrisbee competition and that is the right time for our second freestyle. The point achievements were terrible but the main goal -- to relax the nervosity during the performance -- went surprisingly well.

Rufík has shown high motivation in the burning sun, Barnabáš managed to crash himself during quite an innocent manoeuvre (fortunately without any big consequences) and performed beautifully in the minidistance. Some pictures follow.

Pája & Cawick won the prize for the best freestyle.

Unidentified flying discs everywhere =).

Verča & File

Iveta is the dream of every orthopedist.

Lucka and Jim are matched better on each event.

Rufus' DM and PRA testing

Good news everyone!

Rufus got tested in Slovgen for degenerative myelopathy (DM) and PRA-rcd2. Results are more than pleasing: in both cases Rufus is N/N (G/G), i.e., non-affected, healthy homozygous.

Congratulations!

DiscDog Fun Weekend 2014

Traditional competition in Nymburk, funny wind and friendly company.

Saturday

Barnabáš scored nice 28.5 in Super Mini Distance (20th/46), Rufus just 14.5 (41st). Dogdartbee wasn't that successful, Barnabáš 90 points (24th/48), Rufík 70 (31st).

Sunday

Either nervosity or lack of skill or whatever, the results aren't very impressive =). Barnabáš in Time trial full time, Rufík in Quadruped 0 caught discs. The good thing is at least that I managed to catch the evening train without hurry ;).
