Jeanette ShellyGuestJoHostRebeccaGuestIanGuestAnd it just gave us such a great opportunity to talk to people different people there, you know, watch how fly ball is done.
What was it? We noticed one of the teams, so obviously what most of the teams in the UK do, you line up your dogs and you line up behind one another, don't you? And you're kind of all pointing in the same direction.
Whereas some teams, their next dogs, so dogs two, three and four would be lined up in front of, dog one all facing inwards all facing perpendicular to the lane yeah so at 90 degrees to the lane so as the dog runs past they then turn them and move them into position don't they um and i thought that was really interesting you often did that didn't they they did yeah they did and i'm not entirely i wish i'd have spoken to them and asked them the reasoning behind it And whether it gees their
dogs up a little bit more.
Well, they were more barky.
I guess you've got to keep hold because otherwise, you know, one could easily have a snap on the way past.
That's true.
That's true.
And do you remember you
running past when I had half a third appendicitis in the lane and you ran past with your tuggie dragging behind you and she
swiped it? Yeah.
Look down, I have no tuggie left.
Yeah,
because Harper had grabbed it off when we were waiting for a warm up.
So there is that risk.
But yeah, I think I'd rather not have them face, I'd rather facing them down the lane.
It's
just what you're used to.
And then you can concentrate because you're already facing the way you're going.
Whereas having to move and find the place you let go, it's quite a lot to do, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, you can already be lined up.
But it was just brilliant.
The atmosphere, three wings all running at the same time.
I was surprised how many of the dogs were running harnesses.
Oh, okay.
