    Dogs Unleashed 2010 Originally uploaded by kayanem It was baking last year at Newark, and Bakewell didn’t want to let us down so the weather was beautiful but boiling. We were flyballing on Saturday and entered agility on Sunday, which worked really well last year, not so well this year. Sheffield were hosting the flyball…

    This show should be good; it’s well organised, gorgeous venue, good competitors, but it just never seems to work out for us. We really should have won our division with the girls’ team, we ran a stupidly fast 20.03 first thing, but we went to 5 legs and lost everything for the rest of the…

    Good weekend. The girls were both running in Marsh, and Dyl was in with the Eagles. Kim ran really well, but she does make me laugh. Or I make me laugh. We both know when we have a cat’s chance of winning and Kim responds by lazing off the box. She threw in a few…

    The gang had a good morning flyballing … in the rain. Where has my nice summer weather gone?! Dylan was all over the place with his training. He ran terribly in the first session, really slow and bad bad box, but he ran much better in the second session. We did have two lanes up…

    The gang did well at flyball this week. Kim did 6 runbacks, just over 12″, to ease her gently back into things. She’s back on non-lead walks, except for the first 15minutes where everyone goes absolutely loopy and they chase each other around at top speed. Kim has to be restrained to avoid that, and…

    My first Drax. Events have always conspired against us in previous years, and we’ve never made it. Well, we kind of made it via Rotherdrax, but I’m not sure that counts! I warned everyone Kim wasn’t at all fit for solid racing, but due to one of the bottom team dogs coming into season, we…

    Tough day for fatman Dylan today! Flyball training in the morning and then an agility training afternoon over in York. Ideally I would have skipped flyball, but we have Drax coming up and I really want him fit and ready. We’re making an effort to do more two lane training at the moment, and it’s…

    I’ve never been to the Drax venue before, for various reasons, so it was nice to get a visit in before we stay there in May. It’s tiny! But very flyball-y, everything squashes in nicely and there is a clubhouse with a proper bar and proper drinks and proper food, all the important things. I…

    Flyball gets its own post; we spent a lot of time watching it! Katie was busy reporting for Flyball Fever and as pretty much all the teams this year were BFA teams, just under different names, we knew a lot of the dogs and people competing. Thankfully they knew us too so didn’t mind us…

    This tournament was a bit of a upside/downside; our dogs all ran really well, but it was almost embarrassing how unfit they are! Kim and Mollie’s team went from running 20.86 in their third leg race (um, seeded on 21.60, sorry about that Division 6!) to barely getting under 22s in their afternoon races. Same…
