This weekend was officially the start of our agility season, Saturday we were at the Peterborough show ground for the team and pairs challenge, it was a miserable day and our results reflected this, all of the dogs were E'd at one point or another all down to bad handling! but it was a good practice for yesterday which was BCCofGB show at Newark, we had decided to take Rupert along for a bit of socialisation and he was indeed a showstopper. Amy ran both Summer and Dylan in all 3 classes and was very pleased with the results getting 1 clear with each and only a couple of silly faults in both of the other classes, Maisy did great contacts appart from flying the see saw in both classes, the trouble is I didn't steady her before she approached which meant she had little choice at the speed she took it I think her brakes just failed her. and she has started to pop out of the last two weaves in her rush to continue the course so a little more practice required for bothe of those issues, appart from that she had a great jumping round only taking 1 pole, if it wasn't for that she would have easily won the class and taken us into grade 2! Ellen also had a near miss getting a 2nd in the agility with less than .5 of a second, his little twist cost them dearly but it does go to prove it's only a matter of time for both of us.
Congratulations must go to Lucy and Milly, who had a great first show, no clears but they certainly didn't look out of place and Milly was very well behaved, looking forward to seeing you at many more in the future, and also to Jo and Kody who had 2 top 10 places in grade 3, looks like Kody is shaping up to be a confident mali just like the others.
April is set to be a busy agility month so bring it on!..
