Back at Drax
It’s been a while since we last flyballed, and much longer since we were running on grass, let alone at Drax! Kim was back in Division 6 and the second team, where she belongs! We had hoped to take a strong 5-dog team but unpredictable entire bitches coming into season meant our fifth dog was…

Summer
My pledge to try and blog more often is currently not really working out. I do have the very good excuse, like the rest of the country, that there has been the warm, hazy hint of summer around and we’ve been basking in what might be the only sun we see all year. We seem…

Gap Farm February 11
Excellent flyballing, some very good racing. Dylan was on brilliant form, the specialised training we’ve been doing recently has been hugely and noticably beneficial for him and a few of the other dogs. It was very cool to see real results so quickly! His boxturn wasn’t brilliant, he is coming away much sharper now rather…

Chase
Kim believes in kicking my ass when we’re doing these chase-the-handler flyball runs. [singlepic id=339 w=320 h=240 float=none] It was a little too slippy underfoot for major improvements, but still some good stuff from Kim and Dylan. Dylan has started stuttering into the first hurdle again though, which is really irritating. I’m hoping it was…

Wandering
I feel like I should be posting something, but I really have very little to blog about at the moment! We are unexpectedly having January off from competitions (flyball and agility), which I’m not too bothered about; I had planned to take a month off somewhere, and January is as good as any! Also, it’s…

Flyball Training, New Year New Games
The guys were rocking flyball training today. We’d already arranged to do some Starter/Puppy training this morning, and Kim had long-since being volunteered as Stooge Dog, but our tournament tomorrow has unfortunately been cancelled. So the whole gang got to come and play! The Starters did very well, we still have a lot of work…

Gap Farm December
I was boxloading for Mol’s team so didn’t get to see much of their racing or times, but they did look good from where I was stood and lost some of their races by a nose, really unlucky! Mol had a great time anyway since she was running over 9″ with her partner-in-crime Bails. For…

Bromley Farm Flyball (with extra snow!)
It was -7 when we arrived at Bromley Farm on Sunday morning. That’s really very cold. Due to the cold and the snow, several teams pulled out and so Extreme re-organised the divisions from 4 to 3. Worked really well, even if it did mean two of our teams racing against one another. Kim and…

Gap Farm November
Mollie was running in the second team. I was boxloading so have no idea what their fastest time was, I think something like 21.35? They all ran well; Mollie always loves running with her mini partner-in-crime Bailey, but the team was something of a last-minute jumble compared to the originally planned line-up. Really good racing…

Mud
[singlepic id=327 w=320 h=240 float=none] Autumn is so pretty from the waist up, with all the golden trees and blue skies. From the waist down, mud. Flyball in the mud is not as difficult as agility in the mud, so we plugged on. Kim thought the whole thing was kind of stupid, but she’s a…
