Rescuedog Water Training

Today it was showdown for watertraining. 8:00 am meetingpoint somewhere in Burgenland. More than 13 rescue-dogs participated. The weather was hot and we had lukewarm water. Depending on the level of the dogs we did surfboard training, pulling someone out of the water, bringing the life buoy to the victim and pulling it out, distance swimming and pulling a life-boat to the shore.

We have 3 puppies in the group and for all of them it was the first training in water. Linux and I were having fun and less training, as I wasn’t in the best mood today. Oni did a real good job. He jumped from the gangplant and he swam real far, thats a lot for a dog who could’t swim as I got him from the shelter. He always has a hard time keeping the long and heavy body over water with his short legs.

We also had a super break with banana-sponge cake from M. Lots of radler (beer and limonade mix), and bread with all kinds of sausage and cheese.

Later on we drove off, as the shore got full with other dogs and people and a thundersturm was building up.

Thanks to all who were training and helping us and our dogs it was a successfull training.

399.999,9 km

Our Lite Ace made the 399.999,9 km today! Thats for showing, it actually has more kilometers on, as the speedometer  was broken for some time and did not count up.

I have to admit that I love this car. It is more than practical, sleeping in the car is no problem. With 9-10 l / 100 km it does not use too much gas, compared with the other (newer) vans around. And most importantly it fits in most parking lots that look way too small, as it is quite compact and has a very small steering angle.

It has made our France Holiday with us, went to most parts of Austria, and keeps my dogs save and locked up during training.

I love this car!
