in it to win it??

Holly chilling at kernow

hmm well to start this blog i shall moan! id love to know what goes on in some peoples minds at times i really would! we had a good weekend at kernow, lovely weather, friends and dogs, as you would expect from a show in cornwall :) but i had a couple of dampners really :( a comment made to a friend as she left a ring, saying 'i dont know why you bother running a dog like that'
now to me, thats down right rude, i personally would have given said person the lead and said come on then, practice ring now, show me how it should be done!! but what people dont realise is how hard the fast and the furious are to handle, until you have experience in it - please shut the eff up!

Well onto nicer things :) chase is now less a couple of dangly bits! he was a bit sorry for himself for a few days, but is now back to his normal self, im using this time to teach him a better nose touch to a target, as he has a fab hand touch, just weaker on a target.

Loki has been doing some foundation stuff with harry who is enjoying training her, but she is no easy puppy! she is quite motivated by food, but occasionally her terrier head comes on and she will also play, so im hoping he wil have the best of both with her :) although today she is poorly so has come to sit in the van at work, but is howling right now!!!

Meg & zig had a good weekend show wise, no wins to brag of yet, but zig had a clear with naarah in a jumping, but was a 4-5 so was too slow for a place, i plan on doing some runs with her myself to see how we go at the next few shows too. meg had good contacts and weaves, 1st run each day was bad on poles, so i think we have a pattern there too!
Terra had a few runs in grade 1, as she is registered to James i cant run her, so naarah and lydia both ran her, and had some not too awful - for terra, runs!!

Also had some good advice to help daizy with her toy drive and had her playing by the rings, so hopefully when she decides she is ready to compete we will have more focus from her!
I have training planned for this weekend, as i have no shows til blackdown, so much to work on!!!

Tigs

Saw several Harrjaks working this weekend,Tigs, Missie, Popi & Wren, nice to see them all, and pups looking all grown up! meg litter with reef are now a year old and looking lovely, some pups from that litter had some chase issues not seen in my line before, which is now being worked on by their owners, i think the match of those two were definatley extreme! Watching Tatty playing and interacting with joy around the rings was fantastic, and i know how hard she has worked to get that focus around fast moving dogs, its great to watch, well done Joy :)
I caught a brief look at jack on friday when i was scriming for Don, He is taller than i thought, but his face is similar to daizys litter, and caught up with mickey on the saturday, who is looking handsome as ever :0)

Saw some of the daizon pups too, they also are fab, so so pleased with how that litter is turning out, they are gorgeous! Sue's Holly however managed to scare a few of us by disappearing on friday for a little while! monkey!

Maid & meg, or is it meg and maid??

To finish this post, agility is, in my eyes, fun, i choose to do it as my dogs enjoy it, it helps keeps them busy, and mentally stimulated, as well as fit of course, and because i enjoy it, no better way in my eyes to spend a weekend sat about of an evening with friends enjoying a drink and chatting about how the day went, there isnt so much of that nowadays as everyone is always so busy to notice the time passing, but we did manage a few moments this last weekend which was nice and makes it even more worthwhile :) lets hope there is many more to come x as the title of this post says in it to win it - im not sure what some may class as winning, but i have fantastic dogs, fab family and friends, so in my eyes, im a winner, i dont need trophies to show me that :)
