Gundog show!!!

Yesterday me and Sandy took our gundogs to the gundog show (and Stig lol). After queing at an accident on the M54 we managed to get to the venue at 8.30 with a very bored puppy although i had taken him round the field before hand. They started the show at 9 sue to the accident so we had time to walk the dogs and toilet them. We had a steeple chase corse and an agility and a jumping, we got two attempts at the agility and jumping and our best time was the one they took. Sandys Jesse got a 2nd in her agility. The steeplecase course was a nice flowey course and i was looking forward to it, i put Jess in standard so the poles where a bit lower. She was very weird and did 2 fences and a tunnel and then got spooked by something and kept looking behind her and at the judge, very strange and in the end i didn't finish the course and somehow the judge had realised and didn't e me so i got 5 faults for a pole and if she didn't have the pole she'd have been in the placings naughty judge!!! I then took her into her agility we spent alot of time watching the small and medium dogs as there was the dog walk with a tunnel under it and everyone was going through the tunnel lol. She was abit sluggish and i managed to keep her going and she went straight up the dog walk what a good girl and in her second attempt she came out the weaves as she was looking at the judge so i don't no what was wrong with her as she really isn't a spooky dog the only thing i can think off was when we training up the school she got scarred by a noise can't remember what there called and she took off which is really unlike her so whether she heard something like that sound i don't no. Her last 2 jumping rounds i tried a different tactic and when she was on the line i said tunnel and she was off and the second time i said frame and again she was off as i do this at home as it winds her up and Ian gets pissed off with her jumping around lol!! Jess got a 5th in the agility as there was only 5 clears obviously we were the slowest. My boxers have had a week off and will have a further couple know and they can get abit fat and Jess can know enjoy a couple of weeks break and i can concentrate on Stig he he the little monkey!! After watching some amazing weaves yesterday that wearnt collies i've been kicked up the bum and am going to really concentrate this winter on getting all there weaves quicker and taking the entrance without me also i have decided i need to teach Gemma a stop again on her contacts as i think know shes more excited about the agility she may be quicker down the contact i'm sure i'll change my ind in a couple of weeks lol!! Stig starts his puppy training thursday night and i feel the need to start training him although hes had a nice time being a puppy, he went to the vets for a puppy party last week, he didn't like the older dogs and much preferred cuddles with the kids and once the older puppys where taken out the room the left over puppies where off and i am pleased to say he was tiered after that!!
