Cooling off after her Flats Race. She loved these dunk tanks!

Now it's time for Roxy's Hurdle race. Mike is doing a little Pre-Game action with Roxy at the Starting line, getting her all FIRED-UP. Roxy is wearing the Green collar.

Here is Roxy's Hurdle Race from Mike's perspective at the starting line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVb888VTkXs

Roxy's Barn Hunt, "Get the rat Stinky!"

Roxy is actually VERY good at Hunting... she found the rat in the Brush Hunt in under 15 seconds. When she is able to focus her energy on finding the rat, she gets the job done! Mike and I are very proud of her.

Great Job Roxy! You did an awesome job all weekend long! You proved to all those other dogs and owners, that you don't need to train your whole little life for these trials. You can be a first timer and be great at it too!

We are looking forward to our next race and hunt...

After a VERY long weekend of so much fun and action, this is what the dogs looked like on the way home...

Roxy's debut at the JRTC Trials - Labor Day weekend

This weekend, Roxy is participating in the Jack Russell Terrier Club Trails here in Georgia. She has never done any of these events before, and most of the other dogs have been doing it since they were puppies! She did fantastic her first day, we were so proud of her. The morning started off with the Racing events, Flats and Hurdles.

Roxy could have chased this lure for hours and hours! She just didn't want to come back, so she had to get caught "dog catcher style"! Too funny.






She also participated in an event called Go-To-Ground, where the Jack is supposed to go through a set of tunnels to get to the "live bait" (meaning pet rat in a wire cage). She was not a fan of the tunnels as you will see, but she LOVED the rat! She was very good at marking her hunt and then baying at it.

Roxy's next event was the Brush Hunt. And even though she has NEVER hunted before in her life, she did fantastic!










And of course when it is over ninety degrees out, you need a little cooling off! She worked HARD all day long.
