We were all back at Fairview again this weekend for a 2nd tournament at the same venue as last weekend. Its the last weekend before the British Championships so we were all fine tuning our box turns and crossovers.
This is me racing down to the box.
Four feet on the box, ball already in mouth and turning.
Just of the box accelerating away.
Up to full speed again.
And this is a dogs eye view of my running up to cross over with a teammate.
We had another successful weekends racing Chips team came second in their division, Auntie Breeze's team came fourth in hers and me and Dare got a first place in ours with a new fastest team time of 18.99 seconds. I was very qick again this week with a 4.28 second run and a few 4.30's runs as well.
Just to prove I am not the only one of my pack with a good turn this Auntie Breeze today in mid box turn.
And a video of Chip and team mates yesterday, he is the last dog in the video clips.

Sounds like a fun weekend.
I don't think I've ever noticed the terminology differences before with what you call cross overs and we in the states call passes. Over here, crossing over is what we call a dog running into the wrong lane, ie: crossing on another dog. We call it passing when we are sending a dog into the lane past another dog on our team.
And a question. Do the bumpers on top of the jumps get included in the jump height, or are they in addition to the jump height?
Hi K-Koria, they are called passes here as well but the boss calls them crossovers!
We assume the bumpers are included in the jump height but will find out :-)
You guys ran really well and were very fast. No wonder you got all the championships:) We admire and congratulate you.
