April Chewy Review

It is time for our monthly Chewy.Com review. This month we decided to review a Furminator brush.

This is what it looks like in the package

and all the little details on the back

Momster was excited to see this as one of the options to review this month. Bokeh is a MESS and momster is having a really hard time getting to his super thick undercoat. Bokeh got to go first with the new brush.

I think his face says it all. That feels good momster! The brush did work on Bokeh but still wasn't able to get in and get all of that THICK undercoat off of him. We think he needs a rake! BOL

After Bokeh it was my turn to be brushed out. I don't mind being brushed for a few minutes and then I am ready to go do something else.

The great people at Fromm snuck in a bag of treats for us as well. They were made by Fromm. We love Fromm and have actually switched over recently to all of us eating Fromm food as well so it was no shocker that we loved the yummy treats.

Thank you Chewy for allowing us to do these reviews.

Oh...one last thing. Louisville Weimaraner Rescue will receive a $20 donation for any NEW customers at Chewy.com making their first purchase if they just use this LINK HERE

In exchange for our review we did receive a free bag of treats to try and a Furminator.

IncrediPaws Trial Sunday

Here is Tempie's JWW run from Sunday. No Q because she did a few things wrong and dropped a bar but she had fun

Here is Tempie's Standard run where she earned her first Open Q and another first place ribbon

Here is my standard run where I got another Q and 18 more MACH points

Dadster is having knee surgery on the 12th. Please keep him in your thoughts.

IncrediPaws Trial Saturday

We had an agility trial at the place where Tempie trains. It was a lot of fun. Here is my Standard run. I got a Q and 18 more MACH points (this was before I earned my MACH).

Here is Tempie's Standard run where she earned her novice title

Here is Tempie's run where dadster got whistled off for "training in the ring". Which he wasn't doing, Tempest took the wrong jump. But oh well...was fun while it lasted.

Puppies part 2

Tempest introducing herself to all her new brothers and sisters

She was SO good with the puppies. She really like the white ones and wanted to bring one home. BOL

How cute is that little pink tongue?

This is Tempie's mom Lucy checking in to see what they were doing to her puppies.

This is momster with Echo. She was the only little red girl in the litter (just like Tempie from the first litter). The breeder decided to keep the little red girl this time and named her Echo hoping she would be like Tempest.

Puppies!

Tempest has some new brothers and sisters. Mom and dad took Tempie out to meet them before they all went to their new forever homes.

These are some of the nice shots that dadster edited

Yes, they came home with just Tempie don't worry, BOL

Oops..someone got muddy

Fun in the basket

Hey! Let me out of this thing!

Satrudays Runs

Realized we jumped right to the MACH and forgot to post the runs from the Saturday before.

Here is Tempie's JWW run. Made a few mistakes so no Q but she had fun

Here is my run from Saturday where I earned another 18 MACH points.

Tempest first open Q in JWW

On the same day I earned my MACH my little sister Tempest earned her first Q in Open JWW. She has been trying and trying to get a Q and finally did it. Check out how FAST Tempie is. She did her run in just 23 seconds and got first place!

Photos with the judge and more

Just after my run, look how happy I am!

Photo of us with the judge and the number 1 showing this was my first MACH

Photo at the last jump

Both dad and I are getting bored with all the photos, BOL

This is MY favorite part of the MACH deal. We made a special trip to McDonalds and Tempie and I got to share our very own McDouble. YUMMY!

Victory lap

Here are some photos captured from our victory lap during the MACH run

This is a day we will never forget

We did it!

Getting hugs from dadster.

MACH run

Here are some photos dad's mom took during my MACH run. The building was dark so they turned out kind of blurry.

Getting ready to start our run

and off we go

Jump!

Last jump!

Coming over the last jump to earn my title

This one is blurry but you can see I was barking telling dadster WE DID IT!!!!

Champion!

So as most of you know I have been talking a lot about a thing called a MACH. That is the Master Agility Champion title with AKC. I began my ACK career back in April 2009 when they began letting mixed breeds (AKA All American) dogs run in AKC. I was one of the very first All American dogs to earn an agility title with the AKC. I have had some set backs with hip dyplasia, etc. that kind of slowed me down a bit but thanks to Dr. Carlson and the acupuncture with supplements I was able to keep running agility pain free.

Well....on February 22nd our dream came true and I become an agility champion. So my new official name is now, Sagira, MACH, NF, TNN. Looks nice doesn't it?

Here is video of my run. You can hear momster crying and screaming on the video, BOL. She was shocked I got it on my first attempt. Most people get so nervous they have to do it a couple of times but mom should know that I am a good girl and like to do it right the FIRST time.

I have one more weekend to run in the AKC and that is in Zanesville. After that I will be retiring from AKC and moving over to CPE Agility. In CPE I can jump as low as 12" which will be a lot easier on my joints and we are doing it just for fun over there. Tempest will take over the AKC runs and begin working on her MACH.

Thanks to all who have supported us in this journey. It has been a great one!

Chewy Time!

It is time for our monthly Chewy.Com review. This month we decided to review a toy instead of treats. We love it when they offer toys to review.

We tried out the Nylabone toy. This is how it looks when it arrives.

These are all the details about it

We all got to take a turn with the toy. Starr is the oldest and always gets to go first. She carried it over and dropped it for inspection.

I had to go inspect it as well and see what all the fuss was about once Starr was done with it.

Bokeh is having a lazy Saturday and decided to take the toy to bed with him and chew on it in there.

Tempie had a turn with it as well. She really liked it and wanted the humans to throw it for her to fetch but it was a little hard for them to be throwing around. Silly Tempest. BOL

Momster told us that the package says this is good for cleaning your teeth and getting that icky tarter and stuff off of them. We prefer to chew on Nylabone toys instead of having our teeth brushed, LOL.

Oh...one last thing. Louisville Weimaraner Rescue will receive a $20 donation for any NEW customers at Chewy.com making their first purchase if they just use this LINK HERE

In exchange for our review we did receive a free Nylabone toy to test out.

Zanesville Trial - Sunday

A few weekends ago we went back to Zanesville for day 2 of the trial.

This is my standard run and I did something that I NEVER do. I got off the table before I was supposed to. You can hear mom GASP when I do it. BOL. I love keeping my humans on their toes. But on a good note, look at how fast I was moving. Momster has been on a health kick and she walks me 2 miles every day now and I am feeling better and you can tell because I'm moving faster. I think this is the fastest I have ever done my weave poles at a trial.

Here is Tempie's run from Sunday. She didn't get a Q either but she had lots of fun. She is too fast for dadster and he has a hard time keeping up with her, BOL.

Zanesville Trial - Saturday

Boy oh boy we have been super busy and getting behind in posting on here. A few weekends ago we traveled to Zanesville for an agility trial.

Here is my standard run. I got a Q and 14 more points towards my MACH. It is really getting close now. Down to just needing 60 more points.

Here is Tempie's Jumpers run. She didn't get a Q and had LOTS of fun making up her own course, BOL

On a side note, Dadster went to meet the orthopedic specialist. He will be having an MRI done tomorrow. It is looking like he might need to have surgery but he said he is waiting until I get my MACH to do it.

Feet up Friday

Sunday at the Novice / Open trial

We were SO excited to find out that Tempie's brother Reagan was entered in the trial on Sunday. Check him out!

Tempie and Reagan got to see each other for the first time in over a year.

Here is Tempie's first run of the day

By the time it was her turn for the second time dad's knee was really bothering him so our friend Andrew ran her. He did a great job.

Novice / Open trial

Our training club had an agility trial. This one was only for Novice and Open classes so I couldn't go but Tempie went and had some fun.

Here is Tempie's run from Saturday. No Q but she had fun.

here is her second run from Saturday where she came in first place.

Pic of Tempie and dad with her pretty blue first place ribbon

Sundays runs

Here are the runs from Sunday at the Queen City trial. I got QQ # 1 towards my MACH 2. WHOO HOO! I now also only need 74 more points to get my first ever agility championship title. Can't wait!!!

This is my standard run I was 13 seconds under time.

and here is my Jumpers run.

Fun run

So the previous weekend we went to Queen City for their agility trial. It has been a few weeks since I did agility and boy did I have FUN FUN FUN on my first run of the day. Momster walks me about 2 miles everyday now that she is feeling better and well I must say that I also feel better and like a puppy again! I made LOTS of mistakes in my run but boy oh boy was it FUN. One of our friends said I made all 5 years of mistakes in that one run. Everyone was laughing because it was so unlike me. I am usually a very good girl and do everything just the way dad says but this time I did it for ME! BOL

Here is my standard run. I went over the wrong jump so I didn't get a Q but I had fun.

Weimaraner Wednesday

Sundays runs

This is Tempie's run from Sunday with Andrew running her again. If she wouldn't have slipped over the jump it would have been a perfect run. This is the best she has EVER done her weave poles in a trial. Just look at how fast my little sister is.

Here is my run with Dave. I was doing good until the weave poles when I thought I saw dadster and wanted to go be with him instead. Oops!

Dadster went to the doctor today. Found out he has tendinitis of his knee. Got some meds and exercises to do and will hopefully be in good shape by our next trial.

Thank you so much Andrew and Dave for running with us this weekend.

Trial this weekend

So we had a trial this weekend. It was a bit different for Tempie and I because dadster has an injured knee and couldn't run us so we had to call on good friends to run us. Tempest didn't mind running for other people but I must say I like to only run with my dadster and was a little scared even though my buddy Dave took super extra good care of me and gave me LOTS of yummy treats. Here is Tempie's run with one of her favorite kids Andrew. No Q but he did a great job with her. They make a great team and this is only the second time he has ever run with Tempie.

and here is my turn with Dave
