It was a nice change to have a weekend off from Agility this weekend, Amy was back from training obedience at the YKC summer camp and had an obedience show with Summer in Coventry just up the road on Saturday, she was really pleased with her progress and the below critique from the judge says it all:
5th 471 Darian Enchanted by Fire (Summer) bc b Amy Sadler lost 9¾. Absolutely brilliant hol with very little to mark. Clear recall and only a very slight cs on retrieve then it all went slightly pear shaped in hf when Summer spooked at a GSD walking by the top of the ring minding it’s own business. She then spent the rest of the round hesitating and going wide as she was distracted but still manged to get within qualifying marks due to the earlier brilliance Awarded a Diploma.
Amy & Summer start at Rugby DTC on Thursday night and none of us can wait, it will do them the world of good to get into a training routine again. last night we took all the dogs to the paddock and trained obedience and agility, Summer was brilliant and was working her socks off, her "A" recall is to die for, Amy must really start doing some scent training or it's going to hold her back.
Good News - Jo has now qualified 4 of her dogs for Crufts 2010!!! what a busy day she's going to have.. I'm really looking forward to watching Pudsey in the ring, and I'll be there to help out if you need any assistance, just getting them all into the halls will be an experience!! also it seems Keisha is back on form gaining a very close 2nd place in her agility.

Jo, Clare and I have a weekend away in Scunthorpe next weekend, we are leaving early on Friday so we can have a nice steady journey and give ourselves plenty of time to set up camp at Normanby Hall, hopefully the weather will be kind to us which always makes for a more relaxing atmosphere. Maisy seems to have got the hang of her weaves again (fingers crossed) hopefully Jo will be coming over tonight to put us through our paces again!! I have a new video camera so there may even be some footage!!
