Dog Vegas
Kim qualified for the Dog Vegas Final at Easter, so we made a bit of a detour to Scunthorpe before going down to the BAA Finals for Dylan and the Trios. Kim and I started the day with a slow clear in the first G1-7 Jumping. It was quite a straightforward course, a flowing loop…

Dashin Dogs
Dashin Dogs = lovely show, amazing organisation, showground is basic and the ground isn’t great but the judges set some fab courses and the rosettes and trophies are stunning (I got to peek at Katie and Jet‘s hoard). Kim Such an up and down weekend. Saturday was a write-off; messy 5f runs with little drive,…

British Flyball Championships 2009
This was our first time at the “new look” BFA Championships, but we couldn’t have picked a better weekend; gorgeous weather, fantastic racing and maybe just a little bit of luck on our side, as we’d drawn in the top half of the seedings for all our divisions. Friday The girls were up. We knew…

Catch Up
A weekend at home! I’ve never been so happy not to be doing anything at all. Kim’s had a bath after rolling in something really unpleasant this morning which meant I had a tan, white and green dog, and Mollie is baking outside. She seems to be enjoying herself though, so I’ll leave her to…

JDA Agility
Lincoln Showground is always such a gorgeous venue! I have never camped in rain like it on Saturday, the thunderstorm was right overhead but when it passed the sunset was stunning and Sunday was such a nice day. Kim Every time I start talking seriously about retiring Kim, not just toying with the idea, she…

Scarborough
Nice venue, shame they put the rings on the hill! Kim was bumped up to Hawk as one of the other dogs went lame. She loved it, she looked great and kept going all day, I was very proud of her! She brought the jumps down to 12″ too which meant Skye clocked a few…

EMDAC July
Rain. Next year we must all pray to the agility gods well in advance, and ask that if rain is required, let it be light and drift over the showground quickly. Because this year, it rained relentlessly, heavily, and wetly for 2 days before giving us all false hope with 12 hours of sunshine. And…

Rotherham
So crazy; 4 teams on Saturday and 1 team on Sunday. Naturally, due to the laws of nature demanding that I never sleep, Dylan was on Saturday and the girls were both on Sunday. Dylan’s team ran really well, we just had four dogs (Lucy, Dylan, Skye, and Brooke) and we thought we were going…

Dogs Unleashed
A much quieter show than I had anticipated, although there did seem to be more people there on Sunday. My sources tell me that it is planned to become an annual event, and so perhaps next year there will be more people around (word of mouth?) and it might feel like the big show I…
