The stuff of nightmares

I have looked through a lot of courses from the EO 2010 judges and they are tough.  Definitely tougher than the WC judges courses I have seen.  But there was always one judge who I couldn't find courses for, Mikhail Khirillow from Russia, AKA Кириллов Михаил.

This morning I had no 6am meetings (yay!  Actually my earliest meeting this week is 9am so I am loving life) so I was able to spend some time looking for courses before work.  Sadly, regrettably, I found some.

As they say, ignorance is bliss.  I think I would have been happier going to EO without seeing these.  Now all I can hope for is that Mr Михаил only designs courses for the small and medium dogs.....

  4. Here's a good dream: The guy didn't know how to use the design software, and his courses were different in real life....

  5. Lisa, I don't know for sure but I suspect it's correct...

    Celeste that would be a really good dream, but I saw a youtube video of the 4th one and it was pretty much exactly as shown on the course map...

  6. Holy s***!! When we were doing our practices for WT tryouts I picked through all the German judge courses looking for the very hairest I could find - this is amazing! I looked at the first one and went, oh, yeah, that's hard . . . and then . . . that's hard . . . and then and it just went on and on!

    What we did find about the hairy ones we could all dig up for practices, is that almost all of them were a lot more do-able than they looked on paper.

  8. These look like the courses of a very angry, bitter man. ;-)

  9. Likes to have handlers fall over the DW, apparently >:) Judge thinks dog should work as independently as sheepdogs do? I imagine lots of verbals, layering, LOPs, and a chiropractic visit after, but course maps can be deceiving and one should never NQ on paper!
