Last weekend we were at Bretford show. My morning started off with listening to some people walking the course commenting on how dumb agility people are and how it makes it easier for them as apparently they had the common sense and good handling, know hang on a minute agility is a sport where you are there for your dog and if you let your dog down your the one that feels guilty. Also i am there to have fun to get away from day to day work and to forget about our problems to have a good time with our dogs and our friends and plus it was a 1-3 show so they can't have been anything fantastic. Anyway i am incredible glad to say that karma hit them on the bum and there handling really let there capable dogs down. Anyway that was my quick moan.
I must start with my first most amazing achievement, Diesel got a 14th in the combined 1-3 agility woop woop. It was a shame as i really didn't expect to get placed so was no where near the presentations but he ho we went to pick our rosette up after. Bless Diesel she really kicked on round this course and it was a pleasure to be running next to her. Diesel had an excellent weekend and is getting quicker every time she comes out but the main thing with her she has the most fantastic time.
I ran Gemma on Saturday and although she did get going i still wasn't happy with her and we all know our own dogs and it just didn't feel right so i left her for the rest of the day. On Sunday i walked her down to the rings to que for Diesel as the sun was popping out and then Ian was going to bring Diesel down for me. I noticed before i even got down there that her back legs where trembling which is what she used to do over agility. So i thought well she must be thinking about what she could be doing so i ran her in her jumping and she was much better, i sort of made my own lines up so i could keep her flowng without nagging her too much and she was so much better and she really enjoyed it so hopefully shes forgetting about babies will try her again this weekend.
Jessica has had the most fantastic weekend. To start with she won her agility so is know in grade 4 woop woop. She also won this with 10 secs over the dog that was 2nd. She was so good and has really worked hard this weekend. She also won her jump and go so we bought 2 trophies home which we have never ever done before and i can't imagine will ever happen again. She also got a 3rd on both days with her jumping and a 4th in her steeplechase which was a very quick course. She has really motored around this weekend and i can't believe how different she has been after so many weeks of me feeling like i've been dragging her around, we have speed and its excellent i'm just praying she keeps it up. I must thank my girlie's for an excellent weekend and how much they have worked for me they couldn't have done anymore for me.
Last night i joined Emma for a lesson with Jo. I took Gemma who worked very hard and is so much better than what she was and really enjoying it again. We worked on alot of bounces and our contacts which im pleased to say Gemma had some great running contacts but theres still a long way to go and alot of homework for me lol. Thanks Jo it was a great lesson.
Congratulations to Sandy and Henry for winning grade1 agility yeah and it was a great round, and to Clare and Charlie for there 3rd in jumping and the bandits for there 2nd and all there pb's think we've all had a fab weekend.
