Savvy is a 10.5 yr. old dog who competed in agility through age 3, then retired. He spent most of the subsequent years living in Turkey, which did not have any dog sports. We moved back to the USA two months ago, and this video was shot yesterday at a dog sports summer camp. Savvy was trained on 21" weaves when young, and is not familiar with 24" weaves yet. A combination of "no practice for 7 years" plus "hyperdrive BC" plus the different spacing caused some problems. After this run, we practiced weaves alone, and he was eventually able to do them fine. Wish we could have had a do-over for this run!  Anyway, I'm thrilled that this 10.5 year old dog, who was basically a couch-potato in a city high-rise for the past 5 years, still has this kind of speed and drive--and this was after 3 full days of tracking/obedience/agility/running-through-fields.  Go Savvy!
