What a fantastic weekend we've had thanks to my dogs and some fantastic friends. This was our first weekend in the caravan and apart from a few hitches with
running out of gas although we bought a new one that wouldn't go on it was fantastic and perfect size (although my car wasn't pleased). What an amazing picture of Diesel that Ian took. This was her 1st run of the weekend and the wall was the 3rd fence and i was
very excited about doing it as it was the 3rd in a straight line so they would have a good run on it. Ian was instructed that he must get this picture
after missing Diesel doing the water jump at
moreton morrel but getting everyone else. So here it is she jumped it massive her back must feel better. Diesel was my most consistent dog of the weekend, she jumped every fence which i still can't believe, got all her contacts. She only came out the ring with 5 faults in all her classes how amazing and those faults where either her weave entry or knocking a pole. After training with her on
Monday night i gave up with her as she just wasn't concentrating at all so i really didn't think she'd pull this weekend out the bag but she did bless her. I left her and
Gemma on 2 rounds yesterday as this was there first 2 day show and they had both worked
extremely hard for me.
Jess is a
little muppet bless her although she won her agility round so has know taken us all up to grade 3
uhh ohh!!!!!! Her first round was 1-7
helter shelter and she
went flying past a fence and then back jumped it the moose s
o was
e'd out that. I took her straight into do her agility and she was a darling
although we were 3 from home and the weaves where there and i was screaming
weave and she just stopped in time before she went past the second pole and i just managed to get her in and she went clear. The rest of her rounds where
abit hit and miss but she has done very well compared that i was using this weekend as
abit of a training weekend for the rest of summer and let go off my comfort blanket and see if she will take things herself. I think i may just have to sacrifice a few rounds this to remind her of a few things,
lol!!!
Gemma was interesting and
i'm learning
alot about her, i think our partnership will take a while to get but once were there shes gonna be great. I've been pushing her in training and i think i forgot that this was her first outside big show show and i must remember that she has come a very long way. Saturday she mainly had
faults i.e weaves. Yesterday she missed a fence completely in a straight line which puzzled me
abit but
Ians got it on video so will have a look tonight i think she may have got in
abit deep and was
tired. But in that round i did a lovely cross behind her which was a first in a competition. Her next round was an agility round
which i slowed myself down so as not to push her and she did a lovely clear round so i left her on that as i was really pleased with her. I think she needs
abit of time to get used to the situations and then start pushing her. She has done some fantastic weaves this weekend and she does get rather worked up some times and when she starts shaking i know shes not going to do very well so
i should take her away and get her in a better frame of mind, it takes time to learn how they click.
Congratulations to Ellen and Hamish for there 10
th thats amazing out of over 150 dogs. Emma and
Maisy are still learning little bits about each other but there is
definate improvement and bits of her rounds are coming together, and can you tell
Maisy not to give Jess tips of how to screw her rounds up
lol. Anne and Crafty had a fab day on
saturday, compared that Anne was late after getting lost and was u
nable to walk 2 rounds they both did very well. I've never seen Crafty work so well before she was going really well very exciting at the start of the season.
So i've had a great weekend thanks to my dogs and can't wait till next weekend!!
Diesel enjoying her jumping!!!!
