Upcoming Show

We have just been at Weardale Champ Show, which as you may have guessed is miles away in fact just over a 5 hour drive away! Besides from that, the show is set in a beautiful location and is a lovely show to attend! Rusty did really well in the Championship qualifiers and even came 2nd in the Jumping where most dogs were struggling to get clear and clear within course time! Ziggie ran so well, however no clears this time as we managed to get atleast 5 faults in each run.

This weekend we have Agility Club Championship Show, which is rather exciting as it will be Tia's second ever show! Which will be soo great as she is just getting better and better at training and I cant wait to see how she performs in the ring this weekend! Of course it will be another chance for Dave & Rusty to take that last and elusive Championship ticket, so fingers crossed everyone! Ziggie is also running at this show which is great so that I can try and push her a bit to get more speed out of her.

Until then Tia has some training at Sunniday and Rusty has more training at ANJU. Only 3 more days untill Agility Club!!!

Birthdays, Birthdays and more Birthdays!

Over the last couple of weeks we have had 3 special Birthdays to celebrate. The first being my Mum who we took out for a very yummy lunch and got her nails done so they were looking really pretty!

Tia has now celebrated her 3rd Birthday and for her special treat we went to Premier to do a little bit of agility training. She was even naughty enough to come off her contact but knew she wasn't supposed to and went straight back on - such a good girly.

Two days later, Rusty celebrated her 6th Birthday. For this very special occasion I decided to backe a Birthday Liver cake for her (and Tia). Which actually turned out very well and even the doggies agreed it was a perfect treat!

Tia's New Sports Wear!

Unfortunately our little Tia, decided that she would gain her first Agility injury by ripping her dew claw which ended up at right-angles on her paw, after taking a long jump.

So after a visit to the vet, one less claw and £100 pounds later Tia was all better! So we have decided that as she seems to rip her dew claws quite often that she must wear a new sports range for her agility, we call Tia's Sport Socks.

Here is a picture of Tia, showing off her new range...

We did a tiny bit of training last night and I am pleased to say that wearing her new Sport Socks doesn't seem to bother her one bit, so we now wait for her next show which is to be Agility Club at the end of July!
