Endurance Title

The Endurance Title involves the dog having to run for 20 kilometres in 2:35 (2 hours running plus 2 rest breaks/Vet checks -totalling 35 minutes). The dog is vet checked before the event, at each of the two rest breaks (after 8 kilometres, then after a further 6 kilometres) and again at the end of the test. Pads,  temperature and heart rate are checked each time. The dog also has to pass a basic ‘willingness to work’ test before and after the run (basically simple obedience). The dog runs on a walking lead with a handler who can either jog or ride a bicycle.  (Not suprisingly, John choose to ride a bicycle although he did have to get two very kind people from the Dalmation Club of Victoria to run Ruby for one lap whilst he fixed a flat tyre). A pace-setter leads each group to maintain the pace of 10 kph.

27 Dogs took part in the event, of which 3 did not finish (1 jogger decided he could not last the distance and two owners retired their dogs during the event). Ruby was the only Irish Setter
