Kooiker Performance Events at the Sunflower Cluster

Kooikerhondje can also try Lure Coursing and a CGC Test

The Sunflower Cluster of Dog Shows also offers:

Canine Good Citizen Test (Saturday)

Lure Coursing (Friday-Saturday-Sunday)

A Canine Good Citizen or CGC test is valuable because passing this test demonstrates that your kooiker is capable of basic obedience and behaving in a friendly manner around other dogs and people. Astro and Clanci will probably test at this show.

Lure Coursing is a performance event where your kooikerhondje can demonstrate its ability to hunt by sight. In a Lure Coursing test, the dog will chase a white plastic bag on a pulley system for several hundred yards. Most kooikers  love and excel at Lure Coursing. I plan to enter Finn, Lukas, and Lucy in this event.

Muskettekoiran Flying Finn NA NAJ FDCH-S

Finn is multi-talented. At just a few days past 2 years, he has earned both Fly Ball and Agility titles. FlyBall is a sport where a team of 4 dogs runs a relay race, jumping 4 hurdles, hitting a box that releases a tennis ball, catching the ball in their mouth and racing back over the hurdles. The team races against the clock as well as against another team of dogs.

Finn competed in 2 classes, Novice Standard a performance event where the dog, directed by his human partner, must complete a course consisting of jumps,  an A-frame, tunnels, weave polls, etc…, running against the clock and Novice Jumpers with Weaves. Novice Jumpers with Weaves is a course consisting of only jumps, tunnels and weave polls. The dog must qualify 3 times in each event to earn a title.

NA stands for Novice Agility.

NAJ stands for Novice Agility Jumpers.

FDCH-S is a Fly Ball title, Fly Ball Dog Champion Silver.

Lucy earned a Double Q on Saturday at the South Texas Agility Club trial. A Double Q, means she qualified in both Master Standard and Master Jumpers with Weaves in the same day. On Sunday, she did agreat job as well. She Qualified with a second place in Jumpers with Weaves. In her Standard run, I directed her in to the wrong entrance to the tunnel , resulting in a NQ or non-qualifying score. At the Master level, no mistakes are allowed.  UKC CH Vonlin’s Temple of the Winds RE AX AXJ FDX
