Cheetah's tire crash 8-17-08

This is a short video clip of Cheetah's Tire crash. It was at a USDAA trail this summer. The agility organizations need to make tires breakaway, so that this doesn't happen again. I would like to encourage anyone to write to AKC and USDAA ( who is starting this process - but should know how many people are in favor of it)

Omg i cant belive that happend she could have broken her neck iam so glad shes okay thou that just went through me.I hate seeing things like this the tire jump as its called over here its lower to the ground for the safety of the dog and the height of the dog too but that was so scary but like i said iam so glad shes okay has she been put off by that?

No, luckly she has no issue with the tire since then. I do catch myself holding my breath sometimes, if I think it might be a funny approach or if the spacing is odd.

Every time I see one of these tire crashes I wonder why on earth there is even a debate on making this part of agility safer for the dog. Glad Cheetah was fine after this.

[tegansmom2]

Me too - I think that this would be such an easy fix.

[CrazyDaizyDog]

Oh my, that is terrible. Something really needs to be done about the tire, either elimination of the obstacle or break away. I hope she is okay.

[tegansmom2]

Yes - she was fine. We gave her some Tramele(sp)?? Thanks Pauline! and she came off of the course looking for her cookies and thinking we were all nuts for touching her messing w/ her ...she just wanted her COOKIES NOW!

@tegansmom2 Dogs are great like that, aren't they? ^-^

[MrOzzyPom]

After watching just a few tire crashes, I'm wondering why they don't make them break away. That's scary. Glad your pup was alright.
