  • EMDAC (50th Show)

    in , , , ,

    This was EMDAC’s 50th show, and it ran as smoothly as most of their shows do. Three rings, started just after 8:30 and finished just before 5pm (although we didn’t leave until 5:30 for reasons I will explain later!). Each ring had 5/6 classes totalling around 360 runs, with the largest class size at 130…

    Remind me next time to wear at least 600 layers of clothing. It was -2 all day, and the fog never lifted. Kim Kim’s first Novice Plus classes! I knew we weren’t going to get anything as N+ is combined Novice, Graduate & Masters (like Combined 4-7 classes, basically) and there were some really good…

    VIDEO: A Noise Sample from a Quiet Moment. Dylan’s team, Marsh Owlers, race. There are no spare hands to take photos! It’s a shambles anyway, we lose all three races.

    A video, finally! Just a short series of clips from Dylan at training this morning. He’s really only cruising here, as we were mainly working on getting him used to running as a mid-pack dog and having dogs changing into him both ways for Rotherham next weekend. Click here to see a short video of…

  • BAA Finals Weekend

    We set off very early on Saturday morning for the BAA Finals Weekend. Kim had qualified for the Grand Prix Primary Jumping Final on Monday, and I wanted to get some last points in for her in the hopes of being promoted in Agility as well as Jumping next season. Dylan was there for the…

    As many of you will have heard already, Kim was diagnosed with a heart murmur at the vets during her routine annual checkup and boosters. I didn’t post about it immediately because it took me a while to get my head around the idea that my beautiful girly could no longer claim to be in…

    The Crazy Cannons always put on a good tournament but we’re not usually very successful! Kim has a 2nd rosette from about 2 years ago and that’s it, which is a shame because the pink and black rosettes look very swish! We got our act together this year and the Owlers had a fantastic day.…

    After all the chaos with Dylan’s box at Selby, I wasn’t entirely looking forward to training again! But (typical dog!) he was absolutely paw-perfect on his turns. Well, almost. 4/5 times he has a perfect swimmers turn, and then on the 5th run he does something entirely new and unexpected. It’s very frustrating! I now…

    I don’t follow the USA competitions too closely, but I know that the European Open Trials for the UK and USA are next month and I thought that maybe the AKC Nationals would give a good idea of which dogs we might see competing against us at the Open. And then the agility world imploded…

    The boy did good … ish! Our lovely team the Little Owlers were in Division A, and we won two of six heats so not too shabby! We weren’t the fastest team in the world as we weren’t really bothering with changeovers, but all our dogs ran brilliantly Dylan handled the pressure fantastically, he took…
