Lune Valley
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,…
Newton Heath
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…
Hare'n'Hounds
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…
Waldridge Fell (Holmside)
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…

Wyre Agility
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…
Wilmslow Agility
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…
Otley – Finally Grade 3!
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…
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…
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…
