Waterwork tests:

 

 

13.8.05 Tikkakoski (ALO) 72p/100 Swimming: 0
Didn't jump from the boat until 30secs had passed, because she started drinking from the boat.

Bringing dummy from shore to boat: 25 (time: 0.48min)
Brought dummy very nicely to the boat and gave it to hand easily. 

Fetching boat: 22 (aika 1.40)
Because of the strong wind (and current) the boat went almost outside the poles, so i used 3 extra commands.

Saving a person: 25 (aika 1.59)
Tried to save a pole, instead of the drowning person, but fortunately went to the drowner after discovering that the pole wouldn't move.

 

14.8.05 Tikkakoski (ALO) 94p/100 Swimming: 25 (time 1.17)
Jumped well, but it took time..

Bringing dummy from shore to boat: 25 (time 0.52)
Yesterday could be seen well in the times: today she was slower. She brought the dummy well to the boat and handed well.

Fetching boat: 25 (1.42)
Brought the boat well back to the shore, the wind wasn't strong.

Saving a person: 19 (2.16)
The start was slow, but still left; but to the boat. With using some commands i got her to abandon the boat. She decided to take to pole like yesterday. With some more commands i got her to go to the drowning person and to bring him safely back to shore. She did, but outside the poles.
Outside poles: 1m + 5 extra commands.

23.7.06 Masku (ALO) 95p/100

Brought the boat well back to the shore, but started circling just before passing the poles.  1 extra command -1p.

Saving a person: 23 (3.17)
Went for it well, but decided to get the boat instead... Got her to turn, she took the dummy and returned well. Was a bit slow because the drowning person was on top of her, could only swim with two paws.

 

21.7.2007 Valkeala (AVO)



 
26p


Picture: Teija Lakka
1. swim and bring boat: 14 (time: 2.00)
Passed goal by 3m and extra commands: 2

2. bring lifevest to boat: 0
Did not start.

3. Jump and bring boat to shore: 0 (time: 2.17)
Left boat over 5m from goal. (though I thought she brought it past it..)

4. Saving person: 12 (time: 2.32)
Passed goal by 9m and extra commands 4

Over all Capri did a great preformance: she did everything except for bringing the life vest, but that's a different thing altogether. The reductions from the points were only due to passing the goal by several meters (she went towars the waterpump sticking from the water, not the goalpoles.. she though that was the goal..) and from extra commands because of that.

(A-Brevet)
 


87.5p /100  -> Move to B-Brevet


 

1. Heelwork on land: 10

2. Jumping from boat at 50m: 15 (time: 1.24.69)

3. Getting dummy from boat 50m: 25 (time: 2.59.02)

4. Bring boat 25m: 25 (time: 1.34.25)

5. Saving doll 25m: 12,50 (time: 1.54.24)

Capri did very well overall. We had to do the last exercise again (thus half points), because the handler called too late and then had to use too many extra commands to turn the dog.
