The trials of Mawson

I thought that it would be interesting to see what it takes to hopefully get ones pup through titles. We can always see dogs with a whole arrays of letters after their names but it is hard to understand exactly how much involvement both you and the pup need to put in. So I have decided to list all the trials we enter in here and the various results we get. That is also a nice way for us to remember the road we have travelled with the monster. As quite amazingly, when he was 8 months old we very nearly gave up on going to training!

Postponed Springwood Agility trial 30/03/14

Northern Suburb dog training club Rally-O 11/01/14

- Rally Obedience novice [Mrs L Dibbin (NSW)] DQ... We entered the perimeter of the ring, Mawson weed.... Ah well thanks for coming, not all bad though and there is hope, maybe...

Manly dog training club Rally-O 04/01/14

- Rally Obedience novice [Mr D Turley (NSW)] NQ withdrew. We did one station right!! Woohooo! Alright there was 14 others that didn't go so well, but overall a pretty good pup everywhere around at the trial. We did some great prep, and then crumbled in the ring. Ah well... 

Bushfire Fundraiser Rally-O 14/12/13

- Rally Obedience novice [Mrs M Wheeler (NSW)] NQ. The scaredy pup confirmed the suspected obedience type trial challenge: Mawson is afraid of the ring and the judge. Except that great!

Bushfire Fundraiser Agility 06/12/13


A tricky long night of triple jumping trials at Erskine Park. First agility trial in the evening, and that was a late one!


- Novice Jumping ring1 [Mr Graham Elven] DQ That was a tight course and Mawson's got a big butt. It would also help if Martin had remembered the course... Ah well, still went pretty well.

- Novice Jumping ring3 [Miss Sandra Walker] DQ Mmmm started well, then bit of a tricky turn into the tunnel caught mister pup. Also missed a jump in the commotion! Sniff. Moruada Mawson "bullet" Gigolo is fast though!
- Novice Jumping ring2 [Ms Patricia Walsh] Last one of the night, midnight run, past everyone's bed time! The bullet and master handler Martin flew through the course in blistering pace. AND CLEAR!!!! Woohoo worth the wait. 1st place 20.27s SCT38! QUALIFICATION #2 for JD

Hills district kennel & training club Inc Obedience 29/11/13


- Community Companion Dog [Ms P Ohm (NSW)] oh dear... withdrew, well better luck next time. Note to minions a GSP non exercised before an obedience trial, with wind and wet ground, will not make for an obedient GSP, better stay home in these cases...

- Novice Jumping [Dr Deborah Kent (NSW)] 1st place 20.88s SCT31! QUALIFICATION #1 for JD
- Novice Agility [Mr A Schmidt (NSW)] DQ Martin and Mawson destroyed a jump! Replaced the jump by leaving one rib from Martin on the course...
