Lansdown Agility Show

This was Tia's very first show, and I was super excited about running her especially after I had been putting in lots of extra time in her training over the last couple of weeks.

On Saturday Tia had 2 runs, a Jumping and an Agility. The first run of the day was the Grade 3 agility, which she did really well and not only did we get a clear round but also managed to get a 16th! Below is the video of Tia's very first run...



Her second run of the weekend was a Grade 3 Jumping which once again Tia did really well and we got another lovely clear round! Below is the video of her Jumping run...



On the Sunday, Tia had 3 runs, a Jumping, Agility and an ABC Agility. Our first run of the day was the jumping which Tia ran soo well, she was even better than on the saturday. I am sure that she gained some more confidence and was faster and finished the run in a good time. ABC Agility was her next run, which Tia worked so well. We did end up with an Elimination but it was not a huge suprise as there was a tunnel under a dog walk (Tia loves all contacts!) so I had to push her out slightly towards the tunnel, so Tia made her own tunnel between the tunnel and the dog walk tressels then went over a jump as I called her back to complete the proper tunnel. The final run of the day was the Grade 3 Agility which Tia did her very young dog run and got an Elimination. We had a couple of weave issues where she kept trying to get to the contacts, she ran round a jump and sort of crashed though another where she didn't really take off for it!


Overall, Tia got 3/5 clears over the weekend at her very first show which is totally awesome! I am SO proud of Tia's performance and how well she coped with the entire show atmosphere.


Rusty and Ziggie also had a pretty good weekend. Rusty won the ABC Agility and also came second in the Crufts Singles agility, both after wonderful runs and superb contacts. Ziggie got 3/4 clears and picked up an 11th in her Grade 6 Agility on the saturday after a really nice clear with lovely contacts. Our next show is Tuffley Championship Show, which will also be Tia's second show and already I can't wait!!
