Well according to some well known trainers all of us with Harrjaks are doomed to faliure cos we cant keep poles up and lack drive!!! hows that to fill you all with confidence!!!??
But hey ho if your like me and think they just have a lot to be very worried about then let them think it!!! but to demoralize someone with a baby dog in your class is just LOW!:-(
People in agility seem to be very bitchy about different dogs and who they are bred by and which dogs they are out of! my fist litter was out of an elementary level dog with 1 clear round in a limit show, with an obedience dog, who hadnt seen a days agility in his life! but we had the best litter i could dream for!!! so picking out dogs for jumping style etc etc, i think is down to how they have been trained, with a small amount of natural style in there too for good measure.
At the end of the day, my dogs are my life and are not machines, you have a dog as part of your family, wether they can compete or not, and win or come 25th in every class, who cares as long as they are happy and healthy and enjoying what they do!!
well the pic here shows my good and my crap agility dogs....but all my babies!!!

Blimey Chel, you sound pretty fed up! You must have needed to get that off your chest. You have some lovely dogs and they are your babies. x
unfortunatley yes i needed to say that...but i expect it wont make any difference! the slagging off will still happen!
It always had and always will Chel. Rise above it. I have had some nasty comments recently behind my back, but people must have sad lives if they have to talk about other people. I feel sorry for them!
Hi Chel
I can understand your frustrations,you get the same back stabbing in obedience as well,but we hope to prove them wrong with Woody.His pre-season training is going well and the shows start in April for him so fingers crossed.
The most important thing for us is the fact he is a big part of our family and we love him to bits and that is all that matters to us,and we will always be greatful to you for that one chance in a lifetime to have a dog like Woody.
Regards
Phil Rutter
