Lilly have you ever tried hurdles on the 100 metre track ( I do mean the dogs)
I saw some pics somwhere.

ACES do do hurdels and its great fun but you need to fence it of or the dogs just run around them.

hello chicken long time hun, yeah we were talking about that only yesterday and are going to try get something sorted very soon, the venues are costing a fortune and to be honest there's more money going out than whats coming in so were trying to pick up stuff bit by bit to be able to do some of the activity's, so that webbing is at the top of the list with trying to get our own fencing as we are also renting that.

I loved the hurdles and thanks to you guys we know now how to set it up so its just a matter of time before we have most of our stuff for our days

Your mor than welcome we are going to try and plan a return some time soon would be good to catch up.

hurdles 28 dogs knock out.2 dogs run and the winning dog goes through to the next round until you have a winner.

it sure would be, myself and jules were only talking about it we could make a whole weekend of events

I hear you you ended up on your arss i would of paid good money to of seen that lol

ady it was all over in a second and i loved it, it didn't even hurt lol i just hope people wont be put off by it as we have to understand that the dogs will get used to it in time, if we take the rite precautions and measures to make sure all muzzles used are appropriate we shouldn't have any problems i don't think.

there is loads of building going on around my area.... ill chance my arm and see if i can get some webbing off them.... wanna see your man himself about the fencing but if i cant get him ill just go up the place and see wot happens

lilly would pallets be any use or would they be to hard

i think the webbing is a bit safer and wont spook the dogs as much as a pallet, its done like a little way into the jump so it helps prevent the dogs running round the jump and encourages them to head for the jump.

just a thought coz there is always pallets around

yeah i see lots of them too,

is there any1 here that would take on the job of the pics??? we need some1 that can get pics of all the dogs participating in the events and have the time to ethr post them to me and ill pop them up or pop them up for us???????.

I'll do it when I'm there before I get my dog...

when this sunday ??? lol

No lol. Maybe like the 26th of June, whatever that weekend is.

I posted a thread about pics earlier don't know what happened. Iwas looking at pics of ACES hurdles their like flying dogs brilliant pics, would be great to get someone with an interest in photography with good equipment maybe a student, the dogs would be a great subject for them sombody must know somone out there

Hi, Just registered on the site today, saw that you are having a meet day on sunday, I love the pit bull breed, Just wondering are all breeds welcome, I have a boxer and I think she would love the lure chase and weight pulling.

All breeds are welcome, Dara. I'm sure your dog would do great.

Thanks will try get there early if i can make it,
