Dog Vegas (Scunthorpe)

Hello,

We arrived home very late last night from Dog Vegas show, up at Scunthorpe. It was a lovely weekend and we had some excellent results.

I ran mums dog Flynn in a grade 3 agility class to push him on, and we pushed quite hard because he won the class and is now grade 4! It was an excellent run and for a big dog he shaped the turns very well. Mum also got a 6th with him in another grade 3 class.

Talking of tight turns, Scott had a 1st and a 3rd in grade 7 jumping classes. Some of his shaping in turns i was very pleased with. As there were no qualifiers or championship classes I was practicing things I needed to work on and I was most pleased. Sunday was not quite so good as we did not manage a clear but the mistakes were small and mostly mine (timing!)

Jack had a 2nd, 3rd and 4th this weekend too. He was pretty consistent and worked nicely.

Well done to Sue & Ali, two of the handlers I train from the Hereford group who won the Lazer pairs. Very good. Scott and Drift did not make it very far, shall we say!

I am preparing for the LGT training night on Wednesday (so much to sort out!), should be good fun and I think the weather should be nice also.
Regards for now

Wednesday 12th

Hello,

This weekend is going to be spent up North at Dog Vagas show. I am looking forward to it. No champ or qualifiers but it will be good fun, can train a few things and work on my timing with Scotty.

Last Sunday I was guilty of a few handling mistakes, but the dogs ran well. This week has been pretty busy and I have been setting up some difficult weave and tunnel exercises for everyone.

Have just sent off my entry to the British Team World Championship selection day too, which is the end of June.

Well done's

I am at Tunbridge Wells show at the moment, or rather Gatwick airport Travelodge. Today I had a 14th place in the Olympia qualifer class with Scott but the main reason I am writing is to say well done to Alice & Christine Moodie and Dave Russel who all made the Championship final at Beacon today. Well done.

Best of all David got the reserve CC with Cae. Very proud well done. It was great to get the call from the show!!

Vyne Show

Hello,

Well done to Mary (G3 jumping) and Barry (Grade 1 Agility), both winning classes at Shrewsbury show Sunday when I was judging at UKA. Well done.

Monday I was at Vyne show. Scotts first runs back and he loved it. I am looking forward to the season starting properly now. His only mistakes were my handling errors as I did get rather excited at times when we were going around!

Jack made the champ final, although the final run was not our best! Never mind. On to Tunbridge Wells this weekend...

Czech Republic Judging

Hello,
I am just back from my weekend in the Czech Republic judging at a show near Brno. It was a fun weekend and I enjoyed my time there. It was great to see so many breeds of dogs and also the handlers enjoying the courses too.

I thought everyone did well and was impressed with the standard of the dogs. My thanks go to Carlo Magnoli and Martina Klimesova for looking after me over the weekend.

Here is the link to Martina’s website. I recommend watching the video’s page as it is inspiring seeing her work her dogs and get them to give every ounce of effort is fantastic!
