Summer Agility / Prestbury Park
First we travelled to Ely in Cambs, what a journey! took us best part of 3 1/2 hours!!!
It was a great show as we met up with Grahams brother Simon, and also great because me Skye won into grade 3 in her first G2 agility class!
Skye
Agility G1-4 1st!
Jumping 1-3 3rd
Jumping 1-2 2nd
Zoe and TJ were having fun but unfortunatly no clears!! TJ managed his weaves first time which is amazing for him, sooo chuffed!!!
Prestbury Park
Our last camping show of 2009 (boo hoo)
Thank god its coming up to the winter! training needed!
Skye has found a new lease of confidence which is wonderful because she is getting faster but she is also getting cheeky! Her weaves were dodgy, she came out of the weaves twice when i weaved her on the right for 12 weaves, something we need to work on!
She managed a 6th in a combined 1-4 jumping, her turns were wide, too wide! something else to work on :)
TJ and Zoe again had fun but no clears!

She was working very well, we have alot of work to do getting her to wrap round wings!
Dogs In Need

21st Agility Club Starters Agility 3rd
22nd 1/2 Agility 1st

Chipping Norton 19th July 09
It was a very exciting weekend, we decided to try out out new (old) caravan out! What luxury compared to our tent. Bring on our next camping at the KC Agility Festival!
The weather was pretty minging this weekend, but the dogs worked well! Unfortunately no video today as it was too wet to get video camera out.
Skye:
Small 1-7 Jumping - places to 10th, we ended up 12th! 2 secs off winner, i completely mucked up the ending and wasted god knows how long standing watching her go through a tunnel! doh! Still lovely round!
Small 1-7 Graded Jumping - 1st! I was really pushing her and getting her to go on to obstacles without me baby-ing her so much, she was flying, very pleased!
TJ:
Some good bits! his waits are pretty good, his jumping is getting there, i pushed him down a line of 4 jumps, really ran with him, and he didn't have any down, still having major issues with weaves, its like he is so used to getting it wrong now, he always thinks it is correct to get them right 2nd try.
Zoe:
Cracking runs from the old girl! Both classes she had 5 faults, one pole! She is working so well at the moment, she is jumping so well and really enjoying herself which is the main thing!

Watford & Tuffley July 09
Watford, was a great show for me and Skye!
It was her first KC win. She was such a good girl it was a lovely course.
Still need to work on the little twiddles and wide turns! She also got a 4th in a 1-3 jumping, buses could have turned tighter than her, all my fault though, i said out , she went OUT! then screamed no IN IN IN , hee hee.

TJ was well TJ, he cant seem to pick his feet up! Grrr! Have now brought DAQ ladder set to hopefully get him to realise his back legs are connected to him!
Tuffley:
Due to Grahams work outing we only managed one day at Tuffley
Skye got a 5th in 1-4 jumping, wide turns again!! I compleatly mucked up her other one, ooops - tried to be way too clever - just ask Graham!
TJ was very good, again lovely waits just still having poles! bloomin back legs! and weaves, just cant seem to crack them!
Zoe had another stunning run, she is like a fine wine, def getting better with age!
Thames, Golden Valley June 09
Thames was a busy weekend! Our annual show seemed to come round so quickly again.
Unfortunatly Skye was out of action due to a slight limp, TJ was OK! his waits in the ring are getting really good, i feel like im getting some control! Zoe was a good girl too, we never feel like we work our dogs at thames though, we were ring managing so didnt really get a chance to video any runs!
Golden Valley was a succesful show, Skye TJ and Zoe worked really well.
Skye picked up a 3rd in 1-3 jumping and a clear round in a very fast blast H/S.

Zoe & Graham had a stunning round , just had 2 poles at the end of the course! Soo close! Not bad for an oldie, Zoe was good too!!! ;)
