She is a beautiful soft coated wheaten terrier. Her owners are more than happy to let me have her for the afternoon to have a play around with her, or a whizz around the park or something. She is such a character - very blonde, but tries SO hard, and has taken a while for me to get to know her. She is quite skittish, but now she knows me much better (They asked me to train her last summer so spent a lot of time with her, much to the disgust of Pheobe!) she is far better and responds quicker (most of the time - she cannot of course resist the ice cream van... ). Her owner said I could take her to any shows for the agility, altho that will be a while away - she gets so excited with other dogs she absolutely doesn't know what to do with herself, and we are still in the stages of her hearing what she wants to hear LOL.... but she really is a rather talented jumper - she has the back legs of a hare!! Absolutely lovely to work with and have a play around!
Her owner Susan, had her jaw on the ground when I told her what we did and how well Cookie did.

So, welcome to my world when I am not with Chloe and HHO is banned during sunlight.....I bring my hobby back home with me, and practice with canines instead

Oh yesshh she is on a flexi lead so we didn't catch her mid air or anything.

Fantastic photos! I love wheatens

. Agility is such fun - have just started teaching our dog and she is taking to it really well (as long as she doesn't spot any rabbits to chase!)

She looks like she's having such fun. I've never seen a Wheaten with that haircut -- the beardy style rules over here

Yes I was surprised when they told me what breed she was. I think she looks rather smart with that cut, but I am biased

She sure can jump, are you taking her to agility classes?

Nope, not atm - there aren't really any where I live which is a right pain as I think she'd be brilliant, but also need to get her calmish before we do that, as she gets very excited with more than two dogs around!!
