DockDogs - London International Food Festival - Jun 26-27, 2009

Our second event of the DockDogs season was the London International Food Festival. Lenny & I headed to London Fri night to be ready for our first jump on Sat morning. The DockDogs competition was held in beautiful Victoria Park. This is a huge park in downtown London, with many, many large mature trees . . . very, very nice location. There was shade over the pool for a portion of the day . . . it was just lovely. There was a good turnout of spectators, in spite of the weather . . . . yes, it rained on & off for most of the weekend. The sun did, however, come out on Sun for Finals.

Lenny finished the weekend taking 3rd place in Pro Finals with a 20' 5" jump. His BA results for the weekend were:
19' 5", 18' 5", 19' 3", 20' 5", 19' 3", 17' 8", 20' 2", 22', 20' 9", and 20'

Speed Retrieve: 7.215 secs and 7.105 secs for 3rd place

Extreme Vertical: successfully grabbed 5' 8" for 2nd place Cadet. I am thrilled with Lenny's EV effort as we have really been struggling with this discipline. I know he has a 6' + grab in him - we just have to find it!!
