We are back after another exhausting 4 days, we always forget how tiring it really is taking dogs to Crufts.
Friday was Rupert's debut in the breed ring, as expected he didn't make the final cut, but I was so pleased with the way he handled so that was great. One of his problems is that he doesn't extend when trottin, this is mainly due to him never really having been asked to do it, so I may work on that for any future events I take him to. Amy was going to take Summer in the handling, but as the day went on the YKC ring was getting further and further behind, in the end they were running 2 hours late for Amy's class which went in at 5:15pm, after being in halls since 7am Summer was fast asleep so Amy decided to take in Rupert after all, and although his inexperience was apparant, he actually gave another great performance and it was lovely to watch him working so nicely for Amy.
Sunday was Maisy's turn in the YKC flyball, she and the rest of the team were brilliant, the kids did a fantastic job and came a very close 4th - Well done Warwickshire Whizkidz. in the afternoon it was Summers turn in the Dogstable course, this is a mix of obedience and agility, meaning the fast agility dogs have to calm down quickly for the obedience elements of the course. Amy was near the last to go and as she heelworked Summer into the ring we could tell she was on form, they both worked their socks off right till the end which was a very simple down command to finish, as Amy gave Summer the command Summer obviously got a scent of someone she knew and was doing her meerkat impression for what seemed like ages, then she finally went down resluting in Amy giving her a very big kiss in relief. the results where up and she had won the over 18 age group. Brilliant.
A few well dones - Gloria getting VHC in her breed class, I know Anne is very proud.
Jo & Keisha getting a brilliant 2nd in ABC jumping.
Deena for her brilliant scoreing in the main ring
