High Flyers - 4th in Europe

Hi Ceri
  
Belgium was an absolute blast......and we came an amazing 4th, making us 4th in Europe.

The European teams are phenomenal, regularly running at low to mid 16 seconds. It took us a couple of days to settle and get used to their racing format as in the UK we don't do speed trials or double elimination. 

We were up against Black Brains 1 who had clocked a sub 17 time in the speed trials, they were also previous European Champions. We really thought that they would beat us, so were absolutely delighted to win 3-0 and consistantly run above 17:28 in temperatures up to 28 degrees.

We lost to Lucky Jumpers, who were also previous years champions, 1-3 but we pushed them very hard and received a tremendous applause from the team an crowd. The Jumpers, who were the eventual winners, came to speak with us before we left and have asked us to go back and compete in their tournament in October.
 
Our dogs ran brilliantly over the 3 days, their fitness and health really showing as the racing was hard and the weather was too hot ( I hate saying that as we normally complain it's too cold!!!) Their recovery time and stamina were excellent, this being evident in their last race of the day against the Jumpers they hit 17:21 seconds!!

The help we have received from yourself and the CSJ team has been invaluable and the CSJ food and herbs have had such a positive impact on our dogs....they just look so happy and healthy be it racing their hardest or just laying relaxing at home.

Thank You all.
 
I have attached some photos that were taken in Belgium at the European Championships, hopefully you will see what a great time we had. As you can see, it's not all racing! 

(There are some already on the European Flyball Championship website (www.erc.be)).

Again many thanks
 
Sharon
