Golden Valley Agility Show

Keisha
This weekend we were in Worcestershire at the Golden Valley show. The weather was fantastic and Nige and me both got sun burnt. On Saturday Nige and me did pairs with Ronny and Keisha, unfortunately it didn't go so well, I ran first with rocket Ronny who ended up getting eliminated as he took the wrong jump, Nige and Keisha were no better who also ended up getting eliminated on exactly the same jump, Keisha did give him some stick as Nige kept getting lost on the course, she barked at him the whole way round saying "Stupid daddy" !!!!

The day did get better though, Keisha had her first top ten placing in the ABC agility Grade 1-7, she was laying 3rd for most of the class but unfortunately got knocked down to 5th by two dogs who ran near the end of the class. Never mind though, what a fantastic run, she looked like she had Ronny's rocket legs stuck on!

Today we started off with the team event, Nige ran Keisha, I ran Ronny and our other friends made up the team with their dogs Snoop and Dre. It started off well with Snoop getting a clear, Ronny ran second who unfortunately got eliminated as he took the wrong jump, Keisha went third ran by Nige who got their first ever clear together and Dre ran last who unfortunately had poles, although we didn't win we had bags of fun and the dogs thought it was brilliant.

Ronny went on to get a clear in his jumping, he did lots of spinning near the end of the course and lost loads of time, he was placed 29th in the class, from 1st to 29th place it was split by only 3 seconds, what could he have done if he didn't do all that spinning !

Keisha then ended the day with a fantastic clear in her agility placing 19th, she is really coming on now and her speed has dramatically improved, she will soon be challenging her big brother!
