Josie & Ivie, European Standard, Cynosport 2008

And when I looked at it I thought it was highly probably that she missed it. She went up at a bit of an angle and that is often what leads to up contacts being missed on the teeter. From my view (which obviously doesn't include frame by frame, but I used to be a judge at least) she appears to land just above the yellow.

My friend's dog missed his first up contact out there as well - on the dogwalk.I think they were watching more closely than judges at normal trials do

I think Josie missed the up on the teeter. I can't find any view in the video that negates that view. Youtube won't let me pause at 1:14, only at 1:13 and 1:15, neither of which shows a foot in the up contact. She clearly got the down and did not fly off.

You brought up an interesting point I hadn't yet thought of since neither of my dogs has ever, not once, missed an up contact in competition (or any time as far as I know)

YT let me pause it at 1:14 but that didn't help any either. I went frame-by-frame in my video-editing program, and she is RIGHT about the yellow on stride #2 with her front feet. So, while shadows make it hard to see a paw in the yellow at that angle, going off body motion and physics, it's highly improbable she missed it

[ZingQ]

Wow, you had two gorgeous runs (Josie's teeter looks perfect to me)!! Good luck today! :)

[BCMom14]

If you pause the video right at 1:15 Josie clearly hit her teeter contact. That sucks, Em. Good job anyway!!!

[LARSMONTSTER]
