  • Barking Dogs

    —

    in , , ,

    I was reading a blog post earlier about dogs barking when playing agility. Obviously relevent to my interests! I blogged a long time ago about Kim’s barking habits, but in summary: If I have a quiet Kim on my hands at agility, I’m worried. I want her to bark. I have a dog who isn’t…

    Doncaster is always such a good comp, lovely venue and it always runs to time. Dylan was running in Marsh Owlers in Div 2, and it didn’t go exactly to plan. He was running anchor dog but he was just cruising along without putting any effort in. He clocked 5.2-5.3 singles times all morning which…

    Whilst I was at agility training yesterday Kim and Mollie had another fight. Not as serious as the last one, thankfully. Kim has a very small bite mark on her ear and is behaving as though her ears has been ripped off and shredded by that evil, evil, black dog who just attacked her for…

  • Controversy, Blogs, Tricks?

    I’ve been trawling about trying to find something to blog about — everywhere is quiet at the moment! No major controversies about (that I can find!) so I did think about starting one, but that seemed like an awful lot of work. I was going to blog about “Barbie Collies” following Inca’s Reserve Best of…

  • Autumn Walk

    Lovely day for a walk. Dylan thought so too! The girls kind of always wander off for a while when we start on a walk. Or at least, they do until I produce their most favourite toy ever, Snake! I gave it Dylan originally, but when you get a Mollie running towards you, the self-preservation…

  • Things I Learnt Today at Flyball

    Dylan simply cannot flyball in ankle deep mud. He doesn’t go anywhere and falls over a lot. Mollie firmly believes that Jet drops her ball, even though Jet doesn’t. Jet cannot understand why Mollie is following her. You can’t throw balls past Dylan’s head on the runback and expect him to keep facing forwards. Kim…

  • Mollie's Ears

    MollieBaldEars is back amongst us! She had a lovely time at the vets, she get’s spoilt rotten with cuddles whilst she’s there. Her ears are now all clean and shiny and sadly hairless, so she looks hilariously bad. Possibly as a result of being laughed at so much, she went missing (presumably escaped and roamed…

  • MollieDog's Off to the Vets Again

    No flyball training this morning, too many people on holiday. Which is a bit weird, but there you go! Should have been Newark next weekend but we’re not going now, which is probably a good thing as Mollie is off to the vets again this week. She really loves it at the vets, and they…

  • Kennel Club Flyball: A Change for the Better

    —

    in , ,

    The Kennel Club has just announced that they’re making a change from the “traditional” foot-pedal “Crufts Box” to the flat-fronted style used by the BFA. A bit of history first, I think. The British Flyball Association was formed in 1994 after a group proposed a change to the Kennel Club rules, for the introduction of…

    Mollie is off to the vet tomorrow with what we think is an ear infection. She’s been walking around with lopsided ears for the past three days and although we initially thought she was just being odd (it’s very hard to tell with Mol) we now think she’s got something going on. She hasn’t been…
