    This show was really for Rio, who obviously sliced her pad and therefore couldn’t go. Next year, she’s wrapped in cotton wool pre-Champs. Very very nice show, great setup at one of my favourite flyball venues, Sutton Fields. The ring plans didn’t quite work out (one ring was finished at lunchtime, another didn’t finish until…

    Baby dog is all grown up! Actually, she’s very much not, which is why I’m taking things so slowly. Rio is an absolute puppy still! I am very happy with how she did in her classes. She held her wait, she jumped well, she picked up obstacles and had lots of drive down the lines.…

    Really went to this show for Dylan to practise running on rubber surfaced contacts. Dig It have Contactacoat sprinkles on their equipment and it is actually looking wrecked right now. Dig It either need to re-cover or buy some new equipment, I don’t think they can keep calling it rubber surfaced if it’s got bald…

    May is usually my extremely busy flyball month, so of course this year I forgot to get my act in gear and actually enter any agility shows. I’m taking Dylan to UKA Dig It this weekend, mainly to support some of our newbie competitors from training, but also to get Ri measured. Dylan is working…

    I say this every time, but I really hate Winterton Showground. It’s beautiful and flat and has such nice well kept grounds to run on, but it’s always blowing a gale. ALWAYS. I seriously considered pulling Dylan from a couple of classes at lunchtime, when numbers/poles/jump wings/long jumps were being blown around. Thoughtful judge in…

    I have to confess, I was not in the mood for this competition. It showed. Dylan and I lazed around all the courses, and won rosettes but only because the classes were tiny. I wasn’t really there to run my dog, I was there to support and coach some of our club newbies, who both…

    Well, we were supposed to be flyballing at Osmaston but with the rain came cancellation, and in time to make other plans. Emma and I had always been eyeing up the UKA show at Sandbach in Cheshire, but flyball got priority for the weekend. With the cancellation we all headed over to Dig It instead…

    Soo, this was our first UKA show. It was tiny. I understand why; UKA is expensive and if you can only do 1 or 2 shows a year, it’s not worth it. Dylan needed the training in the ring aspect so I decided to shell out in the hope it would improve us elsewhere. However,…
