Harrjak puppies!

Well i havent been able to update the main site yet due to technical problems ( my home pc in bits, my laptop cant cope!) I will update here for now until a time when i can!

I have decided to put meg to boo again for her final litter, the pups are all so fab, and a different dog would have so much to live up to! We know what to expect from pups from this pairing, so it all makes sense! Pic to the right is Daizy with dad Boo...

Also, the other litter in the pipeline is Terra x Tigger, Terra wasnt bred here, but tigs was, so my line will continue through him aswell as through meg. Terras hips are being scored on friday, all her other tests are perfect, (DNA for CEA & TNS normal, PRA & BAER tested normal too) while Terra isnt a brilliant agility dog due to my few years out, she is a lovely girl, great fun and has a fantastic temperment! Tigs working ability is fab, and his temperment is nuts when doing agility, and cuddly at home, Tigs pups from a previous litter are all lovely, and lolly also has one from him that is no doubt destined for great things.

2 x 2 weaves

well after some persuasion, ive decided to give this method a go with daizy and terra, they both had a go last night, but daizy decided playing with the swingball was far more interesting, so we abandoned that as she actually wanted to play for a change! we did little foundation bits instead, as she now finds tennis balls and footballs irresistable!!

lots of stuff!!

well a busy few weeks here, so a quick summary!! harry and james' birthdays have passed with a noisy 9 year old party, and james parents and aunt coming to visit.


I've had an infection under my wisdom tooth, which has been agony, so now im in the middle of 3 appoinments to sort it out! 1 down, 2 more to go! Still, its feeling so much better!





We have done a fish swap with my cousin sarah, she has the goldies and i have her angel fish, and an as yet un-identified catfish/loach, i havent caught a decent photo of it yet, when i do i will post it! In the meantime, here is bob and bob jr, as named by harry .... imaginiative hey!

Daizy has done a little training, but not a lot, she is much better with other dogs,a lthough her body language is still very dominant, she needs to learn not ALL dogs like to play rough with her!

Zig n meg had nice runs at the weekend, but still no kc clears for either! ...one day! my next show is south devon on the 26th july, so we shall see!!





Oh and a last minute plea to anyone thinking about sponsoring me for the race for life! if i dont see you in person, please use the online page - it really isnt that hard! i promise!


Wedding Stuff


Lots of wedding stuff done and dusted, caked ordered, my dress fitting has been done, all my make up and perfume is also bought, and my shoes at last too!


Lolly and Lydia have their fittings on wednesday too


My hen night is on the 11th july, so next saturday, I have most of the bits i need for 80's style! should be a giggle!

32 days now i think??!!

yuck yuck & blergh...

is how i feel! been ill since friday - finally starting to pick up, but still generally queasy :(
hate being ill!

apart from that... daizy was good at training on friday, she had a quick blast with lydia, then with me, we had a nice new white gsd joining the class, so i opted to leave daizy out seeing her obsession of barking at white dogs!

wren is doing well with her 2 x 2 weave training, so im hoping to start daizy using this method, as its hoped to teach good entries from early on....watch this space!

wedding is now only 6 and half weeks away!! spent the day after training in exeter getting some clothes for my 80's theme hen night, we also had a makeover, was very pleased with mine, lols wasnt as happy with hers, but thats sorted now! think the mistake we made was not using the same woman to do it! lols dress has arrived, its a little big, so will have to make alterations soon, my first fitting is due on 2nd july, i havent lost anywhere near as much weight as i had hoped to :( pretty disappointing, but hey ho!
finally mid way through sorting the invites! the fun job of finding addresses! most of mine will be hand delivered i decided!

was working out a few dates last night planning weekends of things to get done, makes it seem like not a lot when i think about it!
26th, james birthday, 29th harrys bithday, 5th july - midcornwall show, 11th july - hen night, 19th july - race for life ( or waddle in my case!) 26th south devon show ( ive entered late...oops!)
that kinda see's me up until the week before wedding!!!!! arrrgh!

oooh we went to see transformers2 at the weekend, fab film, loved it, would of been far better without the tummy bug to accompany me tho!

Thames

well we had a lovely weekend - harry was poorly on saturday night though, and still is, ( doc said a virus) but i think it was helped by the sun to be honest!

was really nice to catch up with everyone, lots of pics were taken - i WILL try my utmost to update the website properly no this week, my only regret was not getting decent head shots of everyone, so im hoping Graeme managed some with his posh camera!!

Terra could actually be an agility dog we have decided! she got her first ever clear round, in aquadoggies anysize! James is pleased to bits with their first rossette, hopefully he will carry on with her training and try for some more!

meg had some nice runs, some hard courses that really were tricky, esp for us being new to G6 still!

SandS show, Honiton

a lovely show run by Sharon & Selena this weekend - shame about the weather on saturday, we were soaked thru by the time we left at almost 6! the dogs were wet, so were we, the seats were still wet the following day! but luckily the sun came out all day ( i have the burnt nose to prove it!)

zig was a little floaty for me yesterday, harry had a nice run in the steeplechase with her on sat, and i had one in the s/c yesterday aswell, she missed the last but one jump, so we picked up a 5, plus a longer time! meg tho was lovely to run, her 1st run on sat was very scrappy and poles were flying! but her agility, she got every contact, i so wish i'd taken a toy as i had a feeling she wouldnt get the weave entry, we still struggle with weaves, mainly me unfortunatley, and alot of it i put down to her rushed training as a youngster. we seem to be working well at the moment, lets hope we dont embaress ourselves at thames next week with her babies there!
we came home with 2 x 4th places over the weekend, very pleased with them! my aim for the weekend was to get them both staying in 12 weaves, meg did just that after beign taken back on both courses with missed entries! and zig did it after missing them completely! my other aim was for getting contacts, meggie is 4 on floor - its too hard for her to stop physically ON the contact!!

we still havent managed a 'kc show' clear yet, so we still have an aim for the season!
vid to follow this avo from after the show...

sad news

very sad to hear the loss of Janet Curtis, she was a lovely lovely lady, who i shall miss chatting with at shows about the dogs and the highs and lows of agility, my thoughts are with Y & Don at this sad time. I was extremely touched to see the photo's of Mac ( from meg's 1st litter) going into visit Jan in hospital, and am grateful to the hospital that allowed her to have that small pleasure, Mac will also be going along to say goodbye on monday for her funeral, such a good boy who gave his mum so much pleasure just by being himself, thak you mac for being so good! x
