How to you go to WTT FEO?

Do you just...ask?

I would love to go with Panic one year in the future but I'm not even sure if that is possible.

Yep, just ask Nancy Gyes. She may want to see a video of you runs to make sure you're capable of doing it

Cool! How far in advance do you think you should ask?

I asked in January. It was a few years ago, but I don't think it really matters.

It was very fun!

Ask now. Also note that you do have to pay the entry fee now. New in the last few years (even if you are FEO). Be sure to note you have international aspirations.

Thanks...the problem now will be trying to decide almost a year ahead of time if I think we'd be ready for it by then. I would love to try to go one year, just not sure if next year is that year.

best to sign up and get your name on the list now. Better safe then sorry. And if you decide not to go no worries. They had 3 FEO dogs this year.

I don't know if they will let ineligible dogs compete though... since you do have to pay the fee they might but typically FEO at WWT is reserved for dogs who are hoping to tryout the following year. You mentioned that Panic can't, right? Just check so you aren't surprised.

That's what I was wondering about. Panic does not have a pedigree. I didn't think he and I would be able to go at all, even FEO, but I was wondering about the process so I could find out if it would be possible.

Thank you Katie!!

There was a year that Steeple was FEO and she never had aspirations of doing international competitions. She was very clear on that.

yes, but her dog has a pedigree so she is eligible, even she didn't have any aspirations to go.

True.

Yeah, if you have a pedigree I don' think your aspirations matter. I sent her an email. No response yet but I'm sure she's really busy!

Oh I so hope you can go. You would love it. Love love love it.

I do too Tori...maybe not even next year but one year in the future. I emailed her so we'll see what happens.
