2009 Canadian Agility Team Fundraisers!

Over the Edge Agility is very excited that our friend Tiffany Salmon and her border collie TNT Rio have been named to the 2009 Canadian Agility Team. They will be heading to Dornbirn, Austria this September to compete in the FCI World Championships. Rio is very special to us at OTEA as she is the mother of TNT Baxter and TNT Phoenix as well as the grandmother of TNT Ripley. We will all be cheering for our team and our friends.

In order to help the team travel to Austria, we are planning a few fundraisers throughout the summer to help Rio and the rest of her team. I hope you will support this amazing group of Canine and Human athletes that will be representing our Country.

Now you can show off your Canadian pride here at home and support the team by purchasing your very own Canada Flag ID Tag and lets face it, all dogs look good in red and white!

These gorgeous, high quality Canada Flag Tags (30mm X 20mm) come engraved with up to 3 lines of information - all for just $15!! You don't have a dog and you want to support the team anyway?!, these tags are also great for key chains and for use on back packs/suit case zippers.

There are only a limited quantity of tags available so don't delay, purchase yours today!!

Overdue Update

I know, I know...I have been a very BAD blogger this year! OTEA dogs and our students have actually been quite busy these past few months. We have also been very busy working on getting ready for the Ontario Regionals coming up next month.

Here are the long overdue brags:

April 4 & 5 - K9 Klubhouse AAC Agility Trial
A huge contingent of OTEA dogs/students head to K9 Klubhouse's first ever indoor agility trial. What a great venue and as always a great trial. The dogs did great and came home with some Q's.
Peso had a rocking weekend and came away with a Masters Standard Q, a Masters Gamble Q and 2 Steeplechase Q's!
Baxter had a good weekend really working hard. He also came away with a Masters Gamble Q and a really nice Advance Standard run.
Abbey had an amazing Masters Jumper run coming away with a Q and best run of the 16" dogs.
Phoenix ran 2 Advanced Jumpers runs and rocked. She had one bar down in the first run but otherwise was picture perfect on a very hard course! She is one smoking fast girl!!
Ripley had 2 Starter Jumpers runs and was a very good boy. He had a refusal in his first run and had a couple of bars in his second. We really think he is going to be a fast boy, he ran the one run in 6.5 yps!

OTEA Student: Michel and Roni had an amazing Steeplechase run (though didn't beat Peso ;)) and came away with a Q.

Mar 20 - Acton Agility's AAC Trial
Peso comes away with a Masters Jumper Q and a Steeplechase Q.

Mar 6 - Acton Agility's AAC Trial
Phoenix has a great Starters Jumper run and comes away with her 2nd Q moving her into Advanced.
Peso has a smoking Steeplechase run earning another Q.
Ripley debuts with his first Starters Jumper run. He did a great job but too bad for his handler ;)

Mar 1 - Royackers AAC Trial
Peso and Phe take in a one day trial at Royackers. Phe wows people and comes home with lots of compliments :) This is one great little agility dog.
Peso has a great day too coming away with a Masters Jumper Q and his first Masters Snooker Q!! Peso is now on countdown for his ATChC...only 2 more Snooker Q's to go!!!!!!
