The last couple of days the weather has been really nice and I have been able to get lots of training in.



Ronny has been earning his goodies by doing some of his tricks, as shown above.
Kody's weaves are starting to look really good and his jumping is coming along nicely. This winter is going to fly by and it wont be long until the start of the agility season again.

Tomorrow I am taking Kody to flyball training, Ronny and Keisha might have a quick go but they are racing on Sunday for the Brickyard Bandits so they will mainly be on rest.

News update

Pudsey's mum, Brizo went Best In show at the Belgian Shepherd Show. Im not sure Pudsey will be able to live up to his mums standards as he has a handicap, ME !!!!

Pudsey's first breed show is in December at the LKA Show, it would be nice if he qualified for Crufts, that way he would join his two other brothers, Ronny and Kody.

Today me and the dogs have managed to get a stack load of training in. All of them did 15 mins of obedience and then they branched off and worked on their own certain areas. Pudsey had it easy, he practiced his touch commands and his Stand command so he is ready for the breed show. He then finished with a good game of fetch.

Kody worked on his agility, his jumping is really coming on and his weaves were much improved too.

Keisha and Ronny just polished up on their tricks. So all in all a good day of work.
Ive worked out that there is about 15-17 days left until Chamonix becomes a mum.

I must admitt that it has flown by, it seems like yesterday that I took Ronny to get jiggy with it. I spoke with Jan and Lisa on Monday who informs me that Chamonix is looking well.

Which means it is only about 10 weeks or so until I can pick up my mini Ronny, I have decided on the name Zippy, all be it a boy or a girl, it's got to be called that seems as it's a Ronny puppy!!!!!

I will keep you all posted with any news.

Yesterday it was quite a nice day so I decided I would collect the caravan from off my mum and dads drive and put it into storage for the winter. I cleared all the stuff out including removing all of the cushions of the seating area so they don't get damp. It was only today when I regretted doing it as I managed to get in to a fight with them when I was struggling putting them under the bed, obviously I won !!!

Today the weather is not so good, in fact it has rained most of the morning, I did plan on doing some agility training but it is just to dangerous today. Kody and Keisha did some weave training in the garden yesterday, Kody was quite good at it, he is a bit quick for himself sometimes tho, wants to do everything as fast as he can and doesn't really think what he is doing, still the Mali's don't seem to take long at learning new skills, after a few go's I'm sure he will get the hang of it, looks like I'm going to have three quick doggies at agility!!!!!

Not up too much this weekend, infact im working all weekend so it's a bit of a change from being at an agility show.

Still only one more day to go and then im off for three days. Im going to try and get some of my agility equipment out and do some training with Ronny, Keisha and Kody. I have been working on Pudsey's touch commands which are coming on really well, I don't think it will be too hard to teach him agility or flyball, he is already running like a speed freak after his ball.

Next week we are at Portway competing in flyball, it seems ages since we last raced, Ronny will no doubt enjoy him self, after all he can go as quick as he possibly can and not worry about knocking any poles down!!!!!

Kody and Pudsey have got there new flyball harness,admittedly Pudsey's is a bit big at the moment but no doubt he will grow into it.
