(pic taken at Barrow by Laura Sivell)Saturday we were at Delinquent Dogz. I've decided we need a radical change to speed Maisie over those pesky contacts so have decided to forget about whether she actually hits the down contact for now and just race her over them and make it huuuuge fun. So I did and she did and it was!!! It means effectively throwing runs for now but so be it. She does seem to mostly hit the down of the A-frame in her stride pattern anyway though she tends to bound over it on the dogwalk. We'll worry about how to put it back together in a bit :o) It was so super to see her barely dithering at all on the A-frame even thought the judge was close by and she galloped on laughing her head off as I ran on making silly noises.
On Sunday we went to a lovely fun dog show at Ogden. It raised loads of money for the Dog's Trust - good stuff. All three of the hairy gang got some very good placings. The judge said young Tim has superb structure, movement and temperament, and he even knew what a Welsh Sheepdog was :o) He even beat some proper posh pedigree doggies (from a Skye Terrier to an Italian Spinone) to come second in the 'breed' class, bless him! And to my amazement he went on to take Best In Show!!!! So in one afternoon he got his first ever rosette and then some more then probably the biggest meringue-iest rosette he'll ever earn in his life, plus a smashing big trophy to keep! Might be a wee while before he gets any for agility ...
Here he is looking all posh and proud:
& here he is looking more like Tim :o)
& coz they're proper gorgeous too:
Billy won the Obedience - hahahahaha! I shouldn't laugh, he is such a Good Boy.
