    With pictures! We bought our wood from B&Q yesterday, and it cost the princely sum of £11.47 (the nails cost the most, typically!) and we bought treated timber. Each peice is 2.4m long, and we bought three 5cm x 2.5cm, two 3.5 x 2.5, and two 10 x 2.5 planks. This easily made us 2…

    It seems whilst we had an average weekend, everyone else went off and won things! My biggest congratulations to Alice and her gorgeous Cocker/Springer Spaniel Sammy who won the NAWS Class B Medium/Small Championship. Sammy is not the easiest dog in the world, he’s very all-or-nothing, but he finished up this weekend by winning the…

    Well, I’ve never flyballed in the snow before. Barking Owlers came 2nd in their Division, although to be honest we really didn’t expect to. The Beardies came into season this week and had to drop out, so we were left with four competitive dogs, plus Chewy. On the day, we also lost one of our…

    Just two days to go until Dylan’s big flyball debut! It’s going to be really odd doing Starters again, Kim moved up to Sanctioned tournaments in 2005. Hopefully it will be a good experience for him. I’m confident that he knows what he’s doing and won’t be phased by the atmosphere, as he’s been going…

    Had a great session with all the dogs this morning! We were working over 6 jumps at the full 14″ for Mollie & Dylan, 12″ for Kim as she has to be awkward and be one of only 2 dogs who measure at 13″, and I don’t like running her over 14″, so she mixed…

    Another good training session this morning! Last week Dylan’s boxwork completely disintegrated. We had one of the boxes at home and I’ve been doing 5-10 minutes a day with him (and Mollie, because she loves anything flyball related and it certainly won’t make her box any worse!) which has been going really well. When we…

    Not much to say today, so I’ve also included the photo of Mollie doing her over-the-horizon look. As with all the photos on the blog, click for a bigger version. Dylan has been doing his bits of boxwork, it’s going reasonably well. We work for about 10 minutes a day, and then of course Kim…

    We had a pretty good session this morning, and the weather was fantastic for once! None of our dogs have flyballed since Sheffield, and Dylan hasn’t done anything since Dec 29th. Unfortunately it really showed today, for our first session all his boxwork just went completely out of the window. He did one nice turn…

    I love Sheffield tournaments. The Speeders are a great bunch of flyballers and they always run a good competition, with lovely rosettes and fast results. The venue is great, just a shame about the location. Three cars were broken into in the morning just after we arrived, including one of our ‘Owlers cars, which was…

    I know, it’s only December and the New Year is a whole three weeks away, but I’ve finished competing and training for the year so I thought it was an appropriate time to look back over the doggy year. Kim has had an amazing year in agility. We won out of Introductory (BAA) and Grade…
