<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">OK how to fit a year into one post!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lets see, new additions! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Unfortunately we didn't see the arrival of any puppies from daizy and troy, fingers crossed for this year for her, i have decided to use Troy's dad however this time, and see if they like each other ;-) details for the 2 dogs are on the harrjak.co.uk page under planned litters :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Introducing Echo to the blog! She is a little rescue pup from 'The Border Collie Spot' a little sable girl, that will hopefully be able to play in agility later on, that future is uncertain as she has a shoulder deformity and the joint isn't formed properly. The specialist surgeon we saw says with good muscle build up and exercise there should be no reason not to work with her, whether she will cope if measuring into large, I'm not sure, at the moment she is still a good 2 inches below daizy at the shoulder, so I'm hopeful that at 8 months she has stopped growing and may just squeeze into medium.... but we will see, agility life for her, and me, isn't the be all and end all, just an added perk! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My boys are now 14 years and almost 2 years, they are both brilliant boys, I'm a very lucky mum!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've unfortunately no where to currently train on my own, my lovely little field is destined to house static caravans being repaired :-( so i am looking for somewhere local to be able to train, I'm joining in some local classes with caz, liza & fern, with Loki, Daizy & Chase, and occasionally echo too</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The worst loss for us all this year was our beautiful boy Kipper, he is missed SO much its unreal! :-(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I still pull up at the house and expect him to appear, meowing, telling me how id abandoned him all day and how starving hungry he was... such an amazing cat, i miss him dearly, he sadly had a large tumour on his spine, that took over in the end, he was a good boy and purred the whole time, even as we had to say goodbye when his legs had been affected :-( </span><br />

So most of the time my time is being taken up with the adorable Jacob Michael Seabrook, Born on 5th April at 1.25pm, with a little pulling he arrived at a whopping 9lb 7oz :)<br />
The dogs are great with him, he is used to their barking at random times, and only occasionally jumps!!<br />
He likes meg the best, and will smile when she comes over to say hi, she likes to sit at the bottom of his chair so he can rub his feet against her :)<br />

Daizy as predicted came into season right at the wrong time, it would of meant we would have had puppies and baby due right at the same time, and as we didn't know if i was going to have to have another c section we played it safe and held off, it does mean that the litter will go ahead on her next season, any time in July/August all being well :)<br />
<br />
Agility wise, we haven't done alot this year, I have started training my guys again now, my hips ( SPD) comes and goes so I've started to do more and more, I am running classes also at my field which is fun, ideally id like to make this my job!! I have another thing lined up, but will take a couple of years for me to be qualified to practice, so i have to wait for that one to start happening first!<br />
We have competed in 2 UKA shows only so far this season, Meg has had a 2nd and a 1st :) so she isnt retiring just yet as she is still so up for it and is jumping well :) Dai, Chase and loki have some ring skills to learn still and daizy still isnt 100% focused :(<br />

We have had a re-home dog here to stay, muffin, who we named Mabel, she has just left to live with a family in Cornwall with the hope of doing agility, she was a sweetie crossbreed, but an absolute nutter!!!!<br />

The date is getting closer and as i'm at risk of having to have another c section, we have decided IF Daizy comes into season from this point onwards, we will have to wait until the next one to mate her. The waiting list has changed alot recently, as people have found other litters, so i am going to keep taking names for the waiting list for now :)<br />
Tigger has a gorgeous new litter, sadly not enough girls for me :( but a nice litter of 4, all going to agility homes via Lauren at Devondogs, mum is freebie, Laetare Curtain Call, a nice black tri, pups are 2 black & white black tri and a red & white, 2 boys and 2 girls :) <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So no canine updates really, no season for daizymay STILL, no training for a month now, and been out to find some non muddy walks ( not easy!) my field resembles a bog, but it does now contain an A-frame! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I figure i will try and keep the blog running and up to date as much as possible, and combine a bit of pregnancy stuff aswell now as its starting to get obvious ! So this week im 16 weeks, i have felt the odd flutters of movement, either that or some very odd gas bubbles lol!At 14 weeks, i had some really bad crampy pains, the midwife called me in for a heartbeat check, very surreal when you hear it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As always with me, nothing is ever simple! To explain a little more my
sister has a rare x-linked chromosome disorder meaning she has a high risk of
having boys with severe hydracephalous, both boys she has carried so far
only made to 20 & 22 weeks before having to be terminated due to this. I've been to the genetics clinic a few times lately but they still arent sure if im at risk of carrying the same
genetic marker, so its a 1 in 8 chance i may not get to 20 weeks just
yet. but as its getting more noticable, its had to be made public, we are
trying our best not to worry too much!!<br />Obviously
i've had harry,which was my point i tried to make at the genetics
clinic, but that could mean he has my good 'x' with tim's good 'y',
hopefully new baby will also carry my good gene (if there is a defective
one) and james' good one too, but until the next few scans we cannot
find out more :( at the moment, i have scans at 17 and 20 weeks, and
then a specialist MRI in Bristol to confirm if they suspect a problem,
which hopefully they wont!! I have a very straight talking consultant im dealing with, so if any doubts im sure he will let me know!!</span>Harrjakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848293567084538856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398283588863957089.post-77175307880478249352012-09-26T04:35:00.001-07:002012-09-26T04:35:17.134-07:0012 weeks...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well who'd have thought i'd be doing a scan pic for me not for daizy!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It turns out i can still get pregnant after all the doctors telling me how unlikely it would ever be!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The plan for a litter are still there, i've done it all before, so to put any rumours to bed that it wont be happening, it WILL, when she finally comes into season! the wait is the hardest part! I have such a nice puppy list of people that are still waiting very patiently for this to happen! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The dogs will all have a little bit of adjusting to do, along with all of us, but not too much i hope! I have had the usual questions from non doggy family saying oh i suppose you cant keep the dogs....erm yes i certainly can thankyou!! It brings me nicely onto my latest frustration, people selling their dogs on for sale pages on facebook, daily adverts for staffies, and even lately a person advertising they are wanting a staff or pit puppy?? Seriously these people need a reality check on the whole 'pit' thing, they seem to think they are legal in the uk, even with many people posting links to government websites with full information, they even went on to add they HAVE a pitbull x staffy already?? With BSL going mad at the moment, I cant believe these people know nothing about it all?? Are they really that oblivious? How do you even start to educate this kind of person?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have picked back up working towards the kcai, i have a canine behaviour day on saturday at Devon Dogs, and Sunday a Canine Law Seminar in Exeter, so another few bits to add towards it :) The agility and sports dog massage course in November im organising is now full, and will also count towards my training for the kcai.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My work hours have just been reduced, and some redundancies have been made, so im starting to think about things i want to do with my life, and i really hope training is part of it as its what i really enjoy :) </span></span><br />

Loki is coming along nicely, unfortunately her ring experience isn't going to plan as she isn't jumping!!! She will do all of the other equipment, weaves, see saw even the tyre, but not any jumps! So.....back to training!<br />
<br />

Here she is last night running with Lydia, which she rarely does as harry is usually the one training and running, but he was at sea cadets so here you go :) this is micro height on the feet of our jumps, small is the cup above, so quite a distance!! <br />
<br />
Dogs in need was lovely as always, judging on the Friday went really well :) The drive was ever so long!!!<br />
8 hours, but was worth it both ways :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Daizy is still not in season!!! Really looking forward to repeating the Lenny litter, and she isn't playing ball lol :) oh well, what will be will be! we have lots of lovely homes lined up, so its a wait with lots of anticipation!!<br />
She will be running this weekend in a local UKA, she hasn't run most of this season, as i was expecting her season early July, so she has been training a fair bit, her jumping is coming along nicely, her weaves are still very hit and miss, so will just be trying some steeplechase runs for the rest of this year with her!<br />
<br />
Meg, Zig & Terra will all be running this week too, also we have Blackdown the following week, so providing I feel better I will be going to both! Meg is now Senior Steeplechase, so now classes for M & Z are the same, Novice performance still , both very close to getting out, zig needs some agility points to move, and megs some games and general points, she has 12 for agility so sorted on that part! <br />
<br />

Chase is improving with regular work too, his weaves are still getting there, his contacts are too, he isn't ring ready yet, but will have a go in some steeplechase classes too this week and see how that goes! He is focused on working, but he does have a loony streak where he rushes and gets SUPER excited, so i have to work hard to remind him he is jumping not racing!!<br />
<br />
The Harrjaks have had some great results streaming in to me, i try and post on the Harrjak facebook page to congratulate you all, im sorry if i miss anyone off! Maid ( daizy & Lenny) went grade 4 recently, Quest ( boo & Meg) has been getting some nice places too, Dish ( Meg & Reef) has made his way up to grade 7 already on his first season competing! Phaze ( Dai x Lenny) has flown up through the grades also, mickey marmite is getting a steady stream of rossettes too and really coming together, as is Tatty from the same litter :) Tarn is doing well, Jackie's foot is on the mend, but its still hard work to run!! Rave is doing well, winning lots! Wren & Claire are also now Grade 6!! We were able to watch Trinity run in the champ at Dogs in need, and popi & missie too, was lovely 3 Harrjaks all up there! :)<br />
<br />
Not a lot really for such a long time off! Ive spent time with my family, which includes the human 2 as well the the dogs! Ive taken a break from Honiton Club over the summer, so has given me time to do more training with my own, which has been nice! However we will be resuming winter training at the barn soon, We being myself and Selena, the plan is not to hold an evening group, but weekend training instead, plus workshops for all levels :) Looking forward to it!!<br />

Last week we learned of the tragic loss of young Riot, owned and loved by Matt & Lauren, he was from Popi's first litter, and a very handsome young man with lots of promise :( sadly taken very quickly, so sad for these things to happen, especially when its an accident. A sad loss of a grand puppy x<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully by the time I blog again I can talk about 'other' news I have but cant say about just yet! </div>

<br />
....that'll give the 'gossipers' something to wonder about now wont it!!<br />

My own opinion is, im for it, yes my dogs will benefit, but, i'd be for it if they didnt too! It would definatley help with the numbers in some classes aswell, some large dog classes are HUGE now, as so many people have been bitten by the bug and also like myself end up accumulating more and more dogs!<br />
Loki is just under 7" at her shoulder, and weighs less than 4 kg, yet she has to compete against large terriers, spaniels etc. Daizy only currently runs at UKA shows ( in Standard height) as she works alot more fluently in these. this of course is my choice to take her to, there are less shows available to us because of this choice, so at KC shows she either gets no runs, or goes into anysize. She is a physically fit, and very active, but small border collie. I have been woking on building up to KC full height with her for some time, her jump isnt naturally stylish, so lots of grid work etc has helped. She can now work MOST of a kc course at full height, however she isnt as confident or as happy when working this height yet.<br />
Loki, of course would slot into a micro height, she can jump micro in nursey uka, and also in anysize small dog class. She is also not yet working a see saw, we have tested her weight on the end though, and it does seem she <u>should</u> be able to tip it!<br />
<br />
<br />
For Harry, the south devon show was a disaster, Loki forgot how to jump!! she ran the whole course, but never jumped a single one!! little tinker, did get the zoomies mid way aswell, BUT i pointed out to harry, not once did she leave that ring, she listened every time she was called back, she ran the course in the right order, she did the tunnels, he got the crosses in that he wanted to get int, so he could take away lots of positives! He liked the big cheer he got at the end, and he came out beaming, so for me, that signifies a good run.... not perfect, but enjoyable!<br />

Loki & Chase both had their very obvious measurements, Chase is large, officially, and loki is officially small!<br />
<br />
Chase was off his rocker for the steeplechase run, he was a complete loon, running past and racing when i asked him to do things, he got me quite flustered!!!<br />
<br />
I ended up having my best run of the day with meg, in one of sam chapman's courses, known for being challenging, i didnt think id get around it anywhere near aswell as we did!!<br />
<br />
The baby Harrjaks did well here too, Phaze won her last grade 4 run, Tarn came 4th aswell in another class. brilliant results, they are ALL doing so well! DIshy is now grade 6 after winning LOADS of 5's this last week, and Rave has also had some good wins :)<span id="goog_1558985645"></span><span id="goog_1558985646"></span><br />
<br />
Some news this week also, Tess ( meg x reef) had an unfortunate accident after sleeping under her owners car, and has had an op after dislocating her hip :( she is recovering well now i hear :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Meg showing her naughty weaves! We have been working on our main weakness, weaving on the right! getting there...<br />

<br />
Chase's weaves are improving, he is much more confident as you can see, i had started to move them closer, maybe too quickly however as he would skip the middle section, so i have opened them back up for a little while!<br />

So after having been forced to take a training break, due to the ground being dangerous to train on, my dogs and I are back hard at it! I'm not sure how much others train, but I plan to <u>try </u>and do at least 10 Min's every other day with each dog, meaning I'll do 3 one day 4 the next, although, Harvey only plays around stuff and goes through the tunnels nowadays at almost 12! Depending on what we work on, the weather, time scale etc, we can more if we can :) <br />
Today is meant to be a peak of the heat, and as my house gets <b>very </b>hot when we cant leave the doors open, I have got the dogs here at work with me in the van, granted they are cooler than I am, but I'm sure people must think its bizarre that I bring them in! Right this second, they are all snoozing, no panting or fast breathing, so i can gauge from that that they seem happy and cool enough, granted they are parked in the shade, with every door open, windscreen covered plus still damp from the walk earlier, AND they have their cage fans on with huge bowls of water. So, this makes me think about people who don't think about dogs in the heat, general pet people pounding the pavements in blazing sunshine, dogs that look so exhausted from the heat that they don't know what to do with themselves :( it makes me sad, and really quite annoyed, people don't think how hot those pavements can get, and as for those who 'pop' into tesco etc, but "its OK as the window is open a little and I'm only popping in" they just don't realise how fast damage can happen :(<br />
<br />
Last night I had a choice of where to walk, we chose to go for a paddle when the tide was low, it was great, damp muddy sand where the tide was still going out, and a nice calm clear patch for them to splash and play, harry too!<br />
<br />
Harry & Loki are coming along well, they have been going for weekly lessons out with Morag & Sue over at Just Dogs, its easier for harry to learn from someone who isn't 'naggy mum' and he has now started her on full height ( small full height of course lol) she is still hit and miss with weaves, as the has to take 2 large leaps between poles, its quite a challenge, but harry is working really hard and I'm really proud of his progress so far :) She is entered at South Devon show this weekend, so we can see how she gets on!! Fingers crossed now she trains in a class, she wont find dogs around the ring <b>so </b>exciting! <br />

Chase, Daizy and Terra are all coming along well, they are all jumping better and more consistently now, even daizy, I think the muscle memory had a big part, as using the barn at honiton we only train on low height, which really hadn't helped her so moving outside and slowly moving the height has really helped. Chase is a naturally talented dog I have worked out. Jumps well, turns wide still but as he is getting more confident he is getting much better! I'm looking forward to seeing how he runs when in the ring this weekend, as it will be his second time so we shall see! This week, the weaves have clicked, and he is just now working on straight poles with the 1st and last ever so slightly open.<br />
<br />
Due to the heat, I will be training late in the eves this week, when its cooled down a LOT!<br />

Starting a blog with a well done from a show!!! that doesn't happen often now does it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to SandS show in Taunton this weekend, and had so much wind we decided against putting up the trade stand! Meg and I came 2nd in the morning, and Meg and Lydia came 4th overall in the OJAC junior qualifier, meaning they get to go to Clevedon in December for the finals! Meg hasn't ever qualified for anything, so I am really please she could do this :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Training of the guys is coming along well, the weather has meant its only been short sessions on and off, loki is still way off of being ring ready, as is daizy, but chase is almost there for jumping classes at least!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All 3 are starting to show they show lots of promise, and all 3 are beginning to weave, its a long process, weaving isnt something that comes easily so i'm taking it at their own pace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chase is <i>almost </i>on complete uprights</div>

Not a lot has really been happening, Tail-spin classes are going really well, the next one is being booked now, and the vets in Exmouth are being fantastic with recommendations at the moment, i have a nice steady flow of people contacting me :) The next puppy class is full, I've added an 8pm Silver & Gold class, and Bronze will be at 7pm, so progressive through the evening :) I enjoy teaching pet classes but i do find some aspects frustrating at times! :-o I don't feel as confident teaching obedience compared to teaching agility, it may be i find it all very repetitive and worry the students are getting bored, so i try and do some different things to other classes, IE a normal routine for my classes include foundation agility stuff to keep it interesting :) by the end of the 6 week block I'm very proud of my students as they do work hard :) they come with very little knowledge, but by the end they understand shaping and how to teach things to their dog, they can do basic positions; Sit, down, stand, basic recall and all start working on waits & stays, and we hold one week specifically on tricks,body awareness and balance work ( using boxes, balls, wobble board etc) they can all hand touch, and all dogs can do a trick of the owners choice :) this applies for all of the levels! once all of this is done, for the higher levels we work more towards the good citizens scheme, walking through doorways, longer duration stays, heel work, emergency stops, and send aways. You would think i would get more confidence with every group i take, but i really don't! I'm not sure why?! </div>

Back to agility, i took my first guest trainer day for Canine Capers the other week, it seemed to go well! We worked mostly on contacts and weaves, some hadn't seen channel weaves before and had some very good results using them at slight angles to get some speed and consistency added to what they had already, the more confident dogs worked on hard angles and rewarding ahead, same went with the contacts, rewarding the position then rewarding the going ahead, all were fantastic and i hoped you enjoyed it!!</div>

My guys are coming along nicely, Ive had a session with Laura on the channels with chase, his drive to a dead toy <b>still </b>needs work, he does, I notice, lose concentration with a toy, as his arousal gets TOO high for the toy and he gets silly!!He gets ott and starts herding and trying to snap at the toy, or the hand holding it!! in my own field I tried using food and had a much better result on the first session, so I'm going to try phasing out the food and moving onto just a toy and see how we get on!! the channels have helped him get a wiggle</div>

Loki is coming on in leaps and bounds, she does however not like any surface other than grass, so my plan is to get her working confidently before trying some training sessions at other venues to try and over come this :) its not that she doesn't like it, she doesn't focus, she wont play or eat, she just sniffs!! Harry has been training her a fair bit, and is coming along slowly but nicely, she isn't very driven for most toys, but we have found she now like the mini rugby ball shaped hollee rollee balls :) </div>

Daizy is coming along slowly but surely, we have gone from one extreme to the other, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
from wont play with toys, to ball herding excess!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Her jumping is much better, her muscle tone has improved massively, her jump style is MUCH better, she extends most of the time now, unless she isn't sure about something. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I'm looking forward to doing some steeplechase and games classes with her at this weekends UKA show.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
She & I still have a long way to go, she isn't as easy as alot of dogs can be, chase in comparison is a a dream on jump work as he give is 100%, daizy however can take it or leave it! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
We have decided to put Dai to Lenny again on her next season, due early July. The last litter are amazing and i would love to repeat it! This time will hopefully be much easier now they both know what to do!! lol!</div>

We had a short break from his 2x2 sessions as i couldnt committ to daily sessions with it, but we have now re started, and are onto 4 poles, he is very keen, but can get carried away, and if he is too excited will wing wrap the poles! So i am careful to keep things less exciting if that makes sense by using food/food related rewards, as toys can make him really silly! Just to be clear, when i say silly, chases has issues not knowing where his nose finishes, so when we play with toys, he gets OTT and will try and grab toys while in your hand, more often than not, he misses, and it hurts SO much! He is very strong, very full on, and gets very frustrated if he cant get to a toy, so food toys and food rewards help him keep calmer without getting over the top and frustrating himself, so thats what i mean by keeping things low key!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mfxVa__O5vNtnIUszZAoEtdX_8ZE58Iyj6CJt-WIjPeE1jng2Wo5JvNayWaSbYbdOQKJ6Z-wiSxEH5zOzHKXcupEm4TMTtP81_dhC0OwAeNAurH1vPJiZcuZEXOyoIpDwzrhxgMRaT3y/s1600/JUNE+11+326.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mfxVa__O5vNtnIUszZAoEtdX_8ZE58Iyj6CJt-WIjPeE1jng2Wo5JvNayWaSbYbdOQKJ6Z-wiSxEH5zOzHKXcupEm4TMTtP81_dhC0OwAeNAurH1vPJiZcuZEXOyoIpDwzrhxgMRaT3y/s320/JUNE+11+326.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5733412664178149362" border="0" /></a>Terra, as you can see is working on little bits, we have decided to see how she goes...she can run with lydia or harry in grade one, so courses should be simple.

Her grid work is really nice, she has a nice bounce, however full height large is still a few weeks away i think, at the moment she can do approx half a course of mixed height, so we are gradually building her muscle memory to taking more of the course, she is very dependant on the handler, whether myself or <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Lydia</span>, so we shall see how some new environments get handled before we decide if anything is changing or if we are happy as she is and let her build up more confidence and FOCUS!!

SO step one, was changing eating habits, 2 months on, 1 stone lost, now most of you know im an impatient person, and i want results faster than that!! SO i have now started on upping the exercise... obviously after gaining so much weight, i ache, i get tired, i feel weak... so all has to be undone and start all over! The dogs are getting an extra walk each day that they dont mind, now i have to up my game even more, so i have started to walk into work after lunch, doesnt sound much, but the walk there and back after work is 3 miles... the worst bit for me though is its all hills!!!!<br /><br />The dog training is coming along well, a slight set back having the 3 of us hit with a really bad cold, only to get another straight after, we have really not been well with it, so getting anything more than once a week for the last few weeks has been very hard work! Now we are snot free and can breathe again, so im back to it!!<br />Chase & Daizy took part on a training day with young Neil Ellis last weekend, handled by Lydia. She really enjoyed it, was definatley more on her level! Both dogs behaved, but there is massive amounts to get done, so my plans are being adjusted to suit each one to progress on to being able to get into the ring. I have entered 2 shows in Cornwall for April, so I have to get it moving more :)<br />Loki is getting along with her jumping, i still have moved the poles to 'proper' small height yet, i would rather keep her motivated and moving! She loves the tunnel, and is coming along with her contacts, we have opted for 2 on 2 off with her aswell as the others. Her weaving hasnt progressed too much yet, as she doesnt like the swivel based channels we have at home :(<br /><br />Chase.... one step forward then another back!!! His jumping and looking ahead is really coming along nicely, he is doing some nice sequences and really coming along well with his jump work, i havent broken his 'wait' yet either!! With his weaves, we have decided to try him on the 2x2 method, meaning i will have used each method available to train, hopefully meaning i have a better understanding to be able to teach others in the long run :) its still early stages but he is doing really well so far!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJfm4X4pJfnm3RFBG-DO8hMQOuDVJo34Oxhi4pfHu134MNTOXXBUIdQ9J1TVlXKbKpLQpU7L_PB2fx1f6X-6Li3FEGQDTSKbBkAkQZ-DBxyH9t_vJFjuAbE8cDfLrYh90mPFdPEQvs_M3C/s1600/IMG_7884.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJfm4X4pJfnm3RFBG-DO8hMQOuDVJo34Oxhi4pfHu134MNTOXXBUIdQ9J1TVlXKbKpLQpU7L_PB2fx1f6X-6Li3FEGQDTSKbBkAkQZ-DBxyH9t_vJFjuAbE8cDfLrYh90mPFdPEQvs_M3C/s320/IMG_7884.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717200437372027394" border="0" /></a>Chase showing agility, natural style!!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">All the others are doing well, no real updates from them!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">3rd March was the sad anniversary of Jak passing, was a sad day, but we made sure we took the dogs somewhere he would approve of :) </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">he even got a mention from claire on our mini walk too, remembering how he used to chase a stone in a circle before picking it up, his teeth were rubbish and really ground down,<br />as this was a real love of his :)</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"></div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGQlAxN9rkAhDEcXgnN1WbZcZmPxEsrI0DoZIUGE2DMD366283vvQXNYyQP8Yok4wImEwXNpA4iMzMF_pMnCmLqfdlhYE84HGckUrJ4CfDO_1obDevPj4ySw_bhu8m75hiE9z_cfKlZhU/s1600/webDSCF2874.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGQlAxN9rkAhDEcXgnN1WbZcZmPxEsrI0DoZIUGE2DMD366283vvQXNYyQP8Yok4wImEwXNpA4iMzMF_pMnCmLqfdlhYE84HGckUrJ4CfDO_1obDevPj4ySw_bhu8m75hiE9z_cfKlZhU/s320/webDSCF2874.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717200986506461250" border="0" /></a><br />Miss you x<br /></div>Harrjakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848293567084538856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398283588863957089.post-83534950966457735122012-01-23T02:45:00.000-08:002012-01-23T03:54:56.762-08:00Weaving Bean!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4BLpxBH2pZqNBTbKtCta_aOwTWrdei9icvP54nyW86ynI5gQaF5pJcm_nGLP2mMmD_KD3lkLxiLfUF9Fe6fpssiq5AG8LG_KfXGbPnfu5EhUj6N3-EY-ohojo5_E08hOxT5ToLcquN7d/s1600/403189_10150498287575911_507295910_9360333_642643988_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4BLpxBH2pZqNBTbKtCta_aOwTWrdei9icvP54nyW86ynI5gQaF5pJcm_nGLP2mMmD_KD3lkLxiLfUF9Fe6fpssiq5AG8LG_KfXGbPnfu5EhUj6N3-EY-ohojo5_E08hOxT5ToLcquN7d/s320/403189_10150498287575911_507295910_9360333_642643988_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700793202322061234" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I wasnt sure what to title this one!

I have entered Kernow using Iss, all 3 young dogs are entered too, i have gone for 2 per day with each of them, and im hoping the judges are kind and set nice courses for the grades, i have entered the lowest cominations possible ( ie no 3-4 if there is a 3!!) as both chase and dai will start grade 3, loki however will be harrys girl so starts in grade 1! SO very few graded classes for smalls, its very sad! i know when i choose classes for honiton i am careful to see every dog gets a graded run, but a lot this just happen for!! so as a new handler, my 11 year old son has no choice but to enter combined classes with his grade 1 dog :( Once they have their first show under their belt i will start looking into travelling further to graded classes for him so he knows what to expect more for his level, aswell as junior classes too :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6vD87xG111uy1qGEcIuQVB-zKAhKScR5nU0B4bTfBXW4gewDEr_b3jxZFj0W_FJ4umlxcJMBe613z9HfIfS2xxld0Zacfpl2pSU9oZZeU8E7_oQPSsoiU1Qzcs_ykRcz3BvBMoghg2_8/s1600/402529_10150498290820911_507295910_9360377_802527122_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6vD87xG111uy1qGEcIuQVB-zKAhKScR5nU0B4bTfBXW4gewDEr_b3jxZFj0W_FJ4umlxcJMBe613z9HfIfS2xxld0Zacfpl2pSU9oZZeU8E7_oQPSsoiU1Qzcs_ykRcz3BvBMoghg2_8/s320/402529_10150498290820911_507295910_9360377_802527122_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700793126056417554" border="0" /></a><br />Terra has some hip area stiffness so will only be running in anysize, i had hoped she would one day compete, but i dont think that is a possibility now :( still she wont know any different, as she can still play in anysize with harv :)<br /><br />Zig & meg have been re training on channels ( ive got channel obsessed!) so far so good, both are working well a small space apart, and are getting better with my main weakness of the dreaded right hand weaves! both dogs come out currently 2 poles before the end, no matter how many weaves there are! so im glad i have gone back to try again, both girls may only compete for this year before going into veterans ( we'll see how they cope this season first!) meg is 9 and zig is 10 next month, so they are both no spring chickens! as long as they enjoy themselves and are physically able to work in the heights and grades they are in, im happy for them to carry on :) its hard to know at what stage to retire them, as most agility dogs are kept well and have good fitness levels etc, combined with good diets, makes for good healthy dogs :) My vet has said countless times that she is amazed that ziggy does so well for her age and the condition of her heart, the murmur hasnt gotten any worse than when she started agility, so she see's no need to medicate her yet, she is fit and healthy, enjoys walks, runs, training and competing, if she had been a pet dog she said she probably wouldnt be here with us still :( so i know with her i am very glad how we keep our dogs!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXg-Ry14j1zfZSlxtU_f8CRVwnvEEC7sd8aG58LAGk0lsOnEaYqlBL2l_j_v3X4d21WdRiyZSzrrhQwNt3JxIPedcNYeILYW40Bbe6p5osUPOkz4ArTZPEdpmhlvTI9-FQpSeWjbjMdDk-/s1600/395336_10150498291155911_507295910_9360381_1134336170_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXg-Ry14j1zfZSlxtU_f8CRVwnvEEC7sd8aG58LAGk0lsOnEaYqlBL2l_j_v3X4d21WdRiyZSzrrhQwNt3JxIPedcNYeILYW40Bbe6p5osUPOkz4ArTZPEdpmhlvTI9-FQpSeWjbjMdDk-/s320/395336_10150498291155911_507295910_9360381_1134336170_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700793023390808242" border="0" /></a><br />This weekend i have my first workshops being held!!! scarey but exciting at the same time!

Other wise, he is still a bit stiff in a few joints, but nothing too bad. He was a little pale, but after devouring a box of quality street, we are lucky he is as well as he is!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMNgd9Yh9m5r_3vQ2sOEcZ28ddoYTZE87ZYJz1NhUq-NYlMvqPpNrlN0P1WeNgHWhPL2mxmF8SDLfIfVCZheP1DDLFWNYyieQssdqGY7Fpnm592VufORqZpahnVns2cXh8opq5md8U8RJl/s1600/383804_10150461321905911_507295910_9226753_763243274_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMNgd9Yh9m5r_3vQ2sOEcZ28ddoYTZE87ZYJz1NhUq-NYlMvqPpNrlN0P1WeNgHWhPL2mxmF8SDLfIfVCZheP1DDLFWNYyieQssdqGY7Fpnm592VufORqZpahnVns2cXh8opq5md8U8RJl/s320/383804_10150461321905911_507295910_9226753_763243274_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694124222279268722" border="0" /></a><br />Zig is doing amazingly well, good teeth, good joints, ever so slightly over weigh, but 15.5kg is pretty good still for her! at almost 10, sandra is amazed every time we see her that zig is still doing so well :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmVz-zp9rg28qe1_dpULgFXdfhG_wNfTcsw5pyztPYwwCjStVy_AZe2Mz_RdPvF6DImkhYk61Krvbhhyphenhyphenc9RustyksmbI6i8qsGwctRt7TQpo3FXRqsavKgWiuELtJ7cgEhkOzElin2lW0/s1600/378394_10150461322025911_507295910_9226755_1254030759_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmVz-zp9rg28qe1_dpULgFXdfhG_wNfTcsw5pyztPYwwCjStVy_AZe2Mz_RdPvF6DImkhYk61Krvbhhyphenhyphenc9RustyksmbI6i8qsGwctRt7TQpo3FXRqsavKgWiuELtJ7cgEhkOzElin2lW0/s320/378394_10150461322025911_507295910_9226755_1254030759_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694122298650861410" border="0" /></a><br />Meg has lost all her coat, hope she finds it soon! she looks so scrawney, but is ideal weight at the mo 14.8kg, her teeth are crap where she has chewed things, metal bars of cages are the usual! leads,toys anything possible will be chomped!!

She has some slight stiffness in her hips, so wont be competing in anything but anysize classes from now on, she is only 6 but does have a bad hipscore which may be the issue. On her check, sandra says she has a very good range of movement and nothing seems painful, so to keep her fit will help things. We notice mainly after big walks or after a training session, so training is only going to be a few mins at a time for her now.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_OJzpu3FXJB9whPLSVZON95E8rFKaRwfFy1FSU_nZtTazGUP4dxlA6xuJU8Lat4FAuo7su2mhdl6217eRmkuC8wm_JNT8xxXPaVk01fJr-6ARwd7VeP6uGPzsELHQnCB0W3gyyc2e50D/s1600/IMG_6289.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_OJzpu3FXJB9whPLSVZON95E8rFKaRwfFy1FSU_nZtTazGUP4dxlA6xuJU8Lat4FAuo7su2mhdl6217eRmkuC8wm_JNT8xxXPaVk01fJr-6ARwd7VeP6uGPzsELHQnCB0W3gyyc2e50D/s320/IMG_6289.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694127736429512610" border="0" /></a><br />Daizy, ideal weight, 14.1 kg, perfect teeth, ears, eyes etc. Joints were all manipulated and were good, she was shaking the whole time so was being a real fairy about the whole process!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKFwrre2tfpscvZfkWUiCee37b3Owmc8nS8bFR7v9fkMKTDU_WllqBeuydEFfbHskPU_oD1i-8muR4vHb85AhYG7UMC8GkssljFOr_8_KPKD4X9QohCG2Wv32wtqwo47HvkeU_8HD3O_M/s1600/407086_10150461323295911_507295910_9226774_748136492_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKFwrre2tfpscvZfkWUiCee37b3Owmc8nS8bFR7v9fkMKTDU_WllqBeuydEFfbHskPU_oD1i-8muR4vHb85AhYG7UMC8GkssljFOr_8_KPKD4X9QohCG2Wv32wtqwo47HvkeU_8HD3O_M/s320/407086_10150461323295911_507295910_9226774_748136492_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694124317709129506" border="0" /></a><br />Chase, he loved sandra, and managed to sneak several licks to her face when she wasnt expecting it!! he didnt like extending his back end in the surgery, i have managed this at home when massaging him etc, but he wasnt happy for her to have a go, so will be roping friends in to do that at shows this year lol!

Far too long over due! We have been training with Laura Chudleigh, who has done really well over the last few years, and she uses consistant methods, that after enough repetition sink in for me!!!! which is perfect as that is what i need!<br />For those who arent aware, im having a few health issues at the moment, and i have my next hospital appointment with a specialist on the 22nd dec, to determine the best way to remove and biopsy the mass after an MRI. I will update when i know some more :)<br /><br />Back to training!!! After our club match, in which all of my 5 that ran managed clear rounds :) daizy got a 3rd in her beginner class, beaten by her daughter phaze! :) Terra won hers, and harv even had a clear!! :) 2 of megs 4 runs i was very pleased with, the other 2 were horrendous!! :( lots of poles, very reckless!!<br />So we did our day with laura, she kindly let me stay the whole day, i was in pain from the previous day so Lydia took over and did the class with zig and then swapped to meg. I wont put everything that was done, but i was pleased with how they all worked, was good for Lydia to join in as she learns better when having to do it rather than watch it!<br />Since then i have put into practice with the other dogs what he have learnt with contacts, start lines, jumps & turns, and so far im very pleased with the results, meg after just 2 10 min sessions was doing nice 2o2o contacts, and looking ahead ready to release to her dead toy, zig & dai were the same, so i know just short bursts like im doing <span style="font-weight: bold;">will </span>work!!<br />Chase and loki have done some end positions, altho chase for some reason is finding it all a bit difficult, so im putting the low contact trainer together to get him more confident in using his bean poley legs :) Loki just needs to get used to running over things higher up!!<br /><br />All5 that i trained all did some basic gridwork, waits, and with me varying my position for the release, so we did recalling down, from halfway and from the fist jump sending ahead. as chase worked well on it initially, he then had a break and later on he also did some turns :) slowly coming together!<br /><br />I'm christmas shopping for them all this weekend... and maybe for a new addition too!!! watch this space!Harrjakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848293567084538856noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398283588863957089.post-78065880853120853902011-11-21T03:32:00.000-08:002011-11-24T08:08:03.986-08:00Birthday week & how much is too much or too little??<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvR4zqMo-Z0AING66H0LfSaKlnJwe69aiKtJ-nWxo5wD35j8qT36V4uoKXapGS8Ifq6SehE1vdWRByum0AriSRT9H09vGy8A8n9H3zVbj0cJ-lLF05z_aRMSm6hKcSG7opmVs9g1Ub_5Xl/s1600/261487_1622864270353_1798880557_1118161_4395824_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvR4zqMo-Z0AING66H0LfSaKlnJwe69aiKtJ-nWxo5wD35j8qT36V4uoKXapGS8Ifq6SehE1vdWRByum0AriSRT9H09vGy8A8n9H3zVbj0cJ-lLF05z_aRMSm6hKcSG7opmVs9g1Ub_5Xl/s320/261487_1622864270353_1798880557_1118161_4395824_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677410926323281282" border="0" /></a>This last few weeks has had birthdays for 3 of my gorgeous dogs, meg is 9!! where has that time gone!! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">I'm</span> slowly getting albums onto <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">face book</span> of each dog at various stages of their lives, i did <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Harvey's</span> around the time of his birthday too, as he is now 11!!!

The pics above are from Exmouth Beach now its re-open for dogs!!! my lot love it, but chase enjoys it the most!! he chases waves for ages, he thinks it great fun, look at his face for the proof!!!<br /><br />As with most years, im starting to think about what i need to work on over winter... usually it involves lots of groundwork training at home as i dont have anywhere to use... but now I DO!!!!! So i get to do a different kind of training plan this time!<br />SO with a little help from friends this will all come into action over the winter!<br /><br />Now, just to be clear, my dogs over the summer get to train an average of once or twice a <span style="font-weight: bold;">month</span>,not a week or even a day like some do, for about 10 mins each.... which isnt much... but they are competing, so i dont see that they need to train that much. Now the young dogs, i have changed how im doing things with them, so i will be doing 2 sessions each week with them during november, stopping all training for december and weather permitting, each dog building up to 2 sessions a week over january. and we have some 1-1 sessions to look forward to with a friend or two, so that im also looking forward too.<br /><br />The show is now over and done with, and we have a de-brief about that soon for the next meeting, so a few things will be decided then and i can then plan my winter completely. I enjoy teaching within a small club, its so rewarding most of the time!!<br /><br />My dogs are all doing well, meg is a bit off colour and has had a dodgy tummy overnight, so hopefully she just ate something that didnt quite agree, we shall see over the next couple of says!<br /><br />Training tonight at tail-spin, my own club, im working towards the KCAI now so every little helps as tesco's say, ive just been on a training day learning about search and rescue ( SARDA) in the area, and also a seminar on reactive dogs in class situations which was very helpful, and im looking forward to the secon part of that one in March!!<br /><br />On saturday i went to see a gorgeous litter of puppies, they are stunning!!! and yes as always im very tempted by one or two!!! They are by Tigger & Geena :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTqqBVIEAEqzjTKNs0CbqzGOX8d1o66bO6gdcnQuDgOFyf7FaOi0z0BIf669DzVOSWt_RDHBZAl3HSi5w7SNvpodb2qpoR_rfpe56A-91wmwRH-5pKqlP-iWfJoK890rir-LC4sEDRIzt/s1600/320605_1879659010061_1798880557_1358495_512502739_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTqqBVIEAEqzjTKNs0CbqzGOX8d1o66bO6gdcnQuDgOFyf7FaOi0z0BIf669DzVOSWt_RDHBZAl3HSi5w7SNvpodb2qpoR_rfpe56A-91wmwRH-5pKqlP-iWfJoK890rir-LC4sEDRIzt/s320/320605_1879659010061_1798880557_1358495_512502739_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664451946142030914" border="0" /></a>Harrjakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848293567084538856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398283588863957089.post-34129008637733151142011-09-22T04:11:00.000-07:002011-09-22T04:16:28.576-07:00finally!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfIIADTLqv-w8AekEGTJaYRTHAd_f1quhrltAaXT6SO5dK0a_2lU6iwIy1Ao3Sp3VQeifKtScjNRg7aYi4FI2P8s1j2QbckzFGB2UT4WetJoaK75ySffE04AcTFEVkCT5JBynh5SDlLvU/s1600/297632_1819573747967_1798880557_1312030_281556562_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfIIADTLqv-w8AekEGTJaYRTHAd_f1quhrltAaXT6SO5dK0a_2lU6iwIy1Ao3Sp3VQeifKtScjNRg7aYi4FI2P8s1j2QbckzFGB2UT4WetJoaK75ySffE04AcTFEVkCT5JBynh5SDlLvU/s320/297632_1819573747967_1798880557_1312030_281556562_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655140027318405378" /></a><br /><br />a pic of my guys altogether :) look no lead on Loki!!!
