We have got loads of news, pictures and results to update you with so I apologise in advanced this is going to be one hell of a long blog!!!!!!!
The first and most fantastic news is Ronny has won out and is now in Grade 4 at agility!!!!!!!!!!
He was just fantastic, I only had one clear round with Ronny during our time away but what a fantastic agility round it was, he won it by over 2 seconds in a class of 269 dogs. He was just superb, didn't put a foot wrong, infact I cant even remember him clipping any poles. Ronny ran near the start of the class so it was incredibly stressful waiting for the class to close and finally being told he had won it. It was such a relief as he has been beaten into 2nd place on several occasions this year. If that wasn't great enough news, Keisha had also gone clear in the same round and finished in 7th place.
During the first show at Dashin Dogs Keisha had managed 7 clear rounds, all but one round placed in the top 15 which was a great achievement as the classes had in excess of 250 dogs in each. After Dashin Dogs we then moved to the Dog Vegas show near Scunthorpe. It is such a lovely show and is set in a pleasant venue. The show started on Friday and was opened with a bang. Keisha had a fantastic run in her jumping class and she placed 3rd, her first ever trophy!
Keisha then went on to get a 10th in her agility and several other placings over the weekend. I must admit, I secretly have high hopes of Keisha, she has just transformed into such a wonderful little dog, I think she might have her chance of glory next year.
Ronny had also qualified for the Dog Vegas final which was held on Saturday. We were drawn 30th out of 36 dogs to run, he was one of only 3 non-collies in the final. It was always going to be difficult to get a clear as they had put a tunnel at the end of the dog walk and Ronny is tunnel mad so a stop on the contact is like a miracle happening. Well he certainly lived up to my expectations he did miss the dog walk contact and also knocked a pole, but my god he ran like a super star and wow-ed the crowd with his weaves. He made us look good and the amount of people that came up after and said how impressed they were with him made me feel incredibly proud and honoured to own him. Lets hope he can qualify for the final next year.
If that wasn't enough news for you, Chamonix has come in season and has been mated with Ronny. It won't be long and we will soon be collecting our mini Ronny.
Pudsey has settled in well, quite an eye catcher at the shows, infact I can't ever remember being approached by so many people asking all about him. He's a true live wire, absolutely adores Ronny and is toy mad, a quick little man too, I think he is going to turn out to be a woolly Ronny!!!!!!!
