    I’m cautiously optimistic about saying that Dylan really likes working indoors. His runs at Lune were all smooth, fast and – at the end – slightly bonkers. I’m happy to roll with this! I’m normally at South Durham this weekend, but the classes weren’t as nice for Grade 4 dogs, and I’m not a huge…

    Let’s gloss over Dylan’s first run, except to say that if you are queuing, have your damn dog with you, especially if the queue is only three people long and you are two of those people. Congrats to Julie and Winnie for winning it though, go the Beardie/Lurchers! The Graded 1-3 Agility was a really…

    Lovely show, but South Durham always put on a good competition. No weaves in any of the classes though, but apparently they couldn’t peg them down. Some of the rings were a bit … oddly shaped, but I don’t really mind that. Anyone with a bit of imagination can put up an interesting course in…

    This is such a long drive. Thankfully it’s worth it, because I love the proper Northern shows. Everyone is so friendly! I had a borrowed dog for this show in Katie’s Jet. Jet is a complete maniac and I haven’t run her competitively since her first KC show at South Durham, since when she’s become…

    This is my traditional end-of-year show now, I think! We’ve done it since 2004, it was the first show that Kim properly behaved at and I felt relaxed and we just had fun. The year after, we came 4th in the Starters Agility Challenge, her best ever placing as a Large Dog. The year after…

    For the first time at a competition, I had my crazy little man with me! Combined 3-5 Agility was a lovely course, challenging enough but flowed really nicely. I was a bit worried about Dylan because he’s only ever done one show at Myerscough before, when he found the whole atmosphere very stressful. This weekend…

    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…

  • Still Grade 2 … EMDAC May and Waldridge Fell

    EMDAC Kim and Dylan at EMDAC this time, but just for one day. Both were entered for 4 runs each but I ended up pulling Dylan from both his agility classes, he’s still not confident on the seesaw. He made up for it by having a decent run in the Helter Skelter (got E’d!) and…

  • Kim has lost her Crazy

    We had a very disappointing weekend at Shrewsbury. Kim just wasn’t working and I’m actually pretty worried about her, she was very tired and quiet for the whole weekend. Anybody who knows Kim will attest to the fact that she’s a very noisy girl and likes to bark! But this weekend she was heading back…
