Meme wins grade 5 agility

I am really pleased my little girl she has won into grade 6 at Suffolk Five Rivers. She seems to be back on top form. Just to prove it was not a fluke she won her last ever grade 5 agility and second in jumping at the Norfolk show :-)
Thanks Meme love ya to bits xx

My courses Stour Valley Sept 2011

I really enjoyed my judging, I always get so nervous about putting courses together, I like to see them flow but test the partnership of handler and dog, without all the twisting up their own backside! Maybe because I run big Belgians. I did not want to keep rebuilding course's, as you can see nothing moved apart from the numbers, until the trio team I moved a few things including the timing gate and took out the weaves as it was a fun class for all.
My large 5-7 One competitor chose to jump the tunnel number 5, and another went through the weaves but was already eliminated!
Some stunning handling was great to watch. The dogs seem to love the fast and open course.

Mega congrats to Sian and Quest

Only in my last post about them winning into grade 5, have now won into grade 6 with an agility and jumping win. Very proud of you both xx

Huge congrats

Quest July 2011

So proud that Quest with Sian won a jumping and an agility at Tuffley show, Chi with Margaret had an unlucky failed timing on a good jumping run at a different show, in the re-run sadly took poles. But later in the day they won a 1-7 agility taking them both into grade 5 a week apart. They really are both maturing into good partnerships. Hugs to both xx

How long since I blogged whoooops. :-)

Cruz

Meme

Thank you to Roy & Jill Mathews for the videos. Thank you Charlee Macneil for the pictures

I have been to a show every weekend, Meme is holding her own in grade 5 even has a 3rd place trophy in jumping. Cruz has been much better with his approach to the DW but now has decided to stride the down contact!!!!!BUT i'm happy with his confidence and i'm sure with rubber surface being hired by many shows it has helped him alot. I hope it becomes a thing of the past running over gloss paint. I have now changed my blog name, I have somebody to show you all next week. :-) can't wait.

Eastbourne DTC

It was very strange going to Eastbourne with all my dogs, but only competing with Cruz. Meme had won into Grade 5 and missed this 1-4 show by two days. Cruz worked brilliantly, only a pole in his jumping and a see saw 5 in his agility. He went clear in this truly fun helter-skelter and ended up 4th out of 298 dogs. My husband pointed out I'm only running around in a circle! but this course was clever and did get many handlers E's. The first circle was inside the second was outside, the third was a half circle, great fun to run. I also ran a friends collie in this class who was doing stunning run until my shorts decided they would look better down at my knees, not pleasant for people lol! in between queuing the dog and holding my dignity I lost her on the last pull off over an off course jump, totally my shorts fault, hehe but dignity kept.
