    Rio passed her Foundation Obedience assessment with no problems. So she got a certificate and a tuggy! Posing for photos is borrrrring, however. I also attempted to take some stacked photos of her, but only one was really worth posting and it’s her non-show side, oops. I should have stacked her on carpet as well,…

    I am feeling very productive this week (with regards to dog training. Other things, not so much). Dylan did some light work at agility last Tuesday, but I was conscious that he might be carrying an injury, so we didn’t do too much. Enough to test the waters and see what might be bothering him.…

    Waiting on Rio to go into season at the moment. I sometimes can’t remember why I’m bothering to go through this! I’d really like her to come in any day around now, really … Ri is running super at agility, we are starting to string together our foundation work into longer sequences now. She ran…

    It’s been a busy week for Rio this week, she had a bath on Monday, agility class on Tuesday, and obedience class on Thursday! She was super at agility, we were building on the wing wrap work we’ve been doing for the past few weeks and she was excellent. The jump height is increasing (I…

    I love this tournament; my dogs and my team always seem to run well at Sutton Fields, and it’s always been my milestone tournament as well. Kim got her first sub-20 time in 2006, retired 2011, Dylan did his first Open 2008, Mollie retired 2012. Dylan got back to sub-20, 2012. Kim ran in Starters…

    I love this puppy, her enthusiasm is infectious. Rio is well named; life is a carnival. She attacks everything with such energy, she makes me feel energetic too. We have no ‘bad’ training sessions, we have too much fun, even if things don’t go exactly to plan. Her paw is almost healed entirely. If it…

    Our plan was to try and get to a beach sometime this bank holiday. It’s always a bit of a hassle; so few dog friendly beaches at this time of year, especially within 2 hours of us. We live pretty much in the centre of the country, it’s about the same distance to the East…

  • Happy Birthday Rio!

    Happy birthday to my amazing Riobean. I’m sorry you’re spending your birthday going stir crazy on cage rest. Rio sliced her front pad last week and is on cage rest. It was a very deep but clean cut, so she had a GA last Tuesday and stitches, which promptly came out overnight. She went back…

    Our flyballing friends at Monsters Flyball held a fun day over in York at the Yorkshire Museum of Farming. Katie and I thought it would be good socialisation for Rio and Rave, and Katie brought Jetly Awesomeface along as well, to set a good example for the babies. I’m proud to say the puppies rolled…

    We were originally entered at Epworth, but then venue changes and tournament changes and we ended up running at Drax. The dogs got to compete and everyone was happy, and our top team actually won their division despite running a little slower than usual. The Starters came 4th (of 5). So happy to be running…
