Thanks for the compliments Emily AND ANDREA

It was a ton of fun to play with Lilli
and Andrea was great all day.

Now that we have our awkward first out of the way, hopefully I can step up my game and let Lilli shine on the field. And I need to find a way to share Lilli with Andrea in competition

I think Kai is coming along and could be in contention very soon.

Lol! You’re in Florida, right?? Yeah, so probably no snow there.. Lol! Lucky! I used the FrostBites last year and I REALLY like them because they are a good weight, but Frankie barely touches them and she’s got tooth holes poked through them in no time. She’s got a really hard bite so she goes through anything thats not a Jawz the first time she uses them. I have to do a lot of sanding. Lol!
Your blog is fun for me. It’s almost like we get to watch your dogs grow up, so even though I don’t know them, it’s so much fun to watch them grow and succeed!! I love it! Maybe we’ll run into each other sometime next season!!! I just want to squeeze all of your dogs, especially Leila! (Who has Aussie fever?? Lol!)

Yah I have zero experience with snow + frisbees. I suspect you use the Jaws FrostBite? You’re just getting into winter too…must be cold up there.

Canis Major is 5 events long and to compete for the “big prize at the end” the same handler has to work the dog…so I won’t be in competition with her until probably January – or whenever the next FS event comes up.

There is a 3 part D/A starting this Saturday locally but no FS…I’m a little bummed.

I competed in my first Quad in Colorado a couple months ago and it was Ugg-Lee. Lol! Lately we haven’t done too aweful in the D/A’s, but that’s less because of my throwing and more because she gets off the ground to catch and is usually pretty good at correcting my mistakes. We have a long road ahead of us though.
I have been having some trouble getting comfortable with the heavier discs. I’m in Minnesota and it’s been cold enough that I’ve had to play just with Jawz because everything else cracks. The heavier ones just don’t agree with me. Lol!
Anyways… You guys rocked! When are you going to get out there, Andrea?? )

Thanks Emily. As always, we appreciate your feedback.

Try using a heavier disc for distance throws. Hero Super Hero or Hero Super Sonic are what we use. Jaws discs work about the same. You’re really aiming for a max of 40.5 yards for D/A, so you’re not far off, unless you’re in a quadruped – then you need like 75.

I loved it!! The first half of the fs especially was very crisp, it was awesome! The backwards leg weave was great, I dont know if I’ve ever seen that. Nice nice nice! Lilli is such a rockstar!! Jason you have some really nice long throws. The distance throwing is where I really struggle. I can do about 37 yards well, but too much further and I start to lose it. Guess I have something to work on this winter. Lol!
Great stuff, guys! Keep it coming!
