    Kim First time in a long time where we haven’t come home with any rosettes from EMDAC. It was just such a disappointing weekend; Kim was incredibly slow. She was responsive and listening, but she had no power or speed in her runs, and a few times she came to a dead stop in front…

  • Spring

    It’s starting to feel like spring has really sprung around here. The weather is lovely, and everything is turning green again. The dogs spend all day in the garden, which apparently is much harder work than spending all day in the kitchen. And also more exciting; Dylan was the most annoying dog ever yesterday. And…

  • Waldridge Fell (Indoor)

    Such an early start! This is probably the furthest show I’m prepared to travel to for a day trip, and I wouldn’t want to do it very often. Kim did not want to get up. Met up with Emma for our epic road trip at 6am. We set off in the ice and snow but…

    Three dogs: Two sisters: Plus Snow. Some of these photos were taken by my sister, Emma. (She’s the blonde one).

  • Further Snow Posts

    We had even more snow overnight. The opportunites for good snow photos come along so rarely, we had to take the opportunity. Dylan looks brooding and gorgeous. This look was spoiled when he fell off the wall 2 seconds later. We have about a foot of snow on the golf course fairway, and about 6″…

  • Obligatory Snow Post

    Dylan hasn’t really seen snow before. The above pretty much sums up his reaction. Kim has seen snow before and knows it’s awesome. Mollie likes the snow and all, but she still has to look for balls. Golf balls, tennis balls, footballs, you never know where they might be hiding, right? Oh well, no balls…

  • Boxes & FlickFlacks

    Both Kim and Dylan were ridiculously excited to be at training this week. And I was a very good person and made myself do the 2 things I don’t really like doing, boxes and flickflacks (or snakes, serpentines, flapjacks, whatever you call them). I even set the box up with “Medium spacing”, ie. minimum spacing.…

  • Training Day

    in , ,

    Dylan and I went on his first training day this weekend. I learnt a lot, Dylan focussed for almost the whole session, and we both got a lot out of what we did. Dyl was occasionally lacking in motivation but it was my fault, I was concentrating a bit too hard on what I was…

  • Timing Notes (again)

    —

    in , , ,

    I did this in September after reviewing my summer season videos, and since I actually managed to remember to take my camera to training (plus a few clips from EMDAC in November/January) I now have a new set of data. How exciting! Well, not really. Dylan’s dogwalk in particular was really improving but has slowed…

  • EMDAC (50th Show)

    —

    in , , , ,

    This was EMDAC’s 50th show, and it ran as smoothly as most of their shows do. Three rings, started just after 8:30 and finished just before 5pm (although we didn’t leave until 5:30 for reasons I will explain later!). Each ring had 5/6 classes totalling around 360 runs, with the largest class size at 130…
