This show was hosted by EMDAC, it was not an open show so no winning out this time, it included the normal agility rounds but with the added attractions of dash and splash, clever dogs, frisbee challenge and a pay on the day agility class.
It was a superb venue but the weather on the Saturday was horrible, rain all day, Sunday was no better with gail force winds.
That's it, it's confirmed our dogs like the bad weather!!!!!
4 x 1st places, 2 x 3rd, 1 x 5th and if that wasn't enough 1 x 1st in Dash and splash, 1 x 1st in water retrieve, 1 x 2nd in water retrieve, 1 x 6th in water retrieve.
The dogs were just fantastic this weekend, on Saturday Ronny opened the show with an amazing run, winning his agility round and beating the next dog by three seconds, Keisha put in a brilliant performance in her agility with the best weaves ive seen her do so far, and placed 5th, the day was then topped off by Ronny winning his jumping class, it was a fantastic smooth run and he was listening like a hawk!
We then headed down to the Dash and Splash pool so the dogs could have a play and a relax. We entered Ronny in the water retrieve, a timed event of a minute to see how many toys they could retrieve out of the pool, Ronny managed 11, which placed him 2nd!
Nige and me sat in our caravan last night reviewing our day, what a fantastic day. Nige's last words before bed were "I bet we won't beat that tomorrow" !!!
Keisha started off with her jumping class today, what a fantastic little dog she has become, every time I run her she just gets better and better, she just wants to please so much and she thoroughly deserved her 3rd place! Ronny then did his jumping round with an awesome run, he just powers through his weaves as if they don't exist, hardly leaves any room for error over the jumps and constantly runs like Linford Cristie, 1st place. Keisha's other jumping class was the last one of the day, she showed no sign of tiredness and ran her round perfectly to claim another 3rd place.
Nige then ran Ronny in the pay on the day class, it was a brilliant run by both of them, Ronny really listened and Nige, who is a new handler, ran the course really well, would you believe me if i told you they got 1st place.
Well that was it, down to the dash and splash pool to relax after a hard day's work. We entered baby Kody and Nige in the water retrieve, Kody's tail didn't stop wagging and he managed to retrieve 5 toys which put him in 6th place, Ronny was also entered with me, we scored 12 toys which gave us first position. Dash and splash, which is Ronny's favourite, was the last event we entered today, I filmed Ronny's winning performance which is just below, for a big dog he can turn very quickly.
I think it will be a long time until we can match this weekends performance.
