Yes I meant the KC. But hey they made a fortune over the years out of her and are no doubt continuing to do so.
Are people still friendly to her? Mind you the man Red came from is still welcomed everywhere.

I bailed from kelluki yesterday because the timings meant I was looking at 11 hours at the show which is too much for me.
I am looking forward to the multi day shows where I can get stuck in and hopefully camping will be relatively dry. After all this rain, surely a dry summer is on the cards???
I also noticed who was back competing yesterday. She has thicker skin than I do.
I have been struggling since Arthur was reported for the bite that absolutely did not happen. I have done a few shows but it doesn't feel the same anymore. I hope the outdoor season will bring about a change.

Oh nooo. How frustrating. I just wish we could do our runs within a reasonable timescale and then go. Both Pebs and I get fed up waitingCode brown in the agility ring.

I think it was six hours between runs actually. So left home at 5.30am, ran at 9.30am Code Brown = elimination. Next two runs were back to back and in adjoining rings - dog was very switched off and bored until the lead came off, when he turned into a raving loony!

I have been at a little non KC show today, 4 runs with one dog and two with the old girl and home by 3.45. Jesse, my old one was clear in jumping and steeplechase in Level 0 (anysize) at small height and was 5th in the jumping. The other had 3 iffy runs and finished with a cracking clear in the steeplechase. Didn't wait for results as I was knackered. Last one of the winter season sadly.

You've reminded me, it's our breed club open show that day and every sodding year I end up setting two alarms for the crack of dawn in case one messes up and I'm an hour late.

Some significant changes to agility prestige events/qualifiers have been announced: link to KC publication
Everything seems to be going to win-on rather than points accumulators, which I'm happy with as chasing qualifiers round the country was a ridiculous premise if you're not a professional.

Kernow (which is at the Royal Cornwall showground, near Wadebridge), is still running this weekend. They had a ground inspection this morning, and there are various rules re camping - which thankfully I’m not doing - in the hope of preserving the ground and minimising towing out!
First class for me on Good Friday - alarm being set for 5.45am which these days with no horses, work only a couple of miles away and a lazy lurcher seems exceptionally early…
I am expecting us to do very badly - first time outdoors since September I think. Going to be zoomy.
Training tonight at club, and our second training session with Barrie James on Monday… busy!

She's got running orders for the next champ show too. Looks like the hiatus is over.

We’ve had a fabulous 3 days at Warrior agility at Bolesworth castle , a great new addition to the agility calendar . Zig did some lovely runs to get a 2nd, 2x 3rds and 2 unplaced 4ths , which earned enough points to qualify for the small 1-2 Superstars Final this evening , which he only bloomin won !

Zazu finished his agility course last Monday, he is doing really well at running mini courses with just jumps, tunnels, a frame and dog walk. Starting to work out the weaves now and took a different tactic to the seesaw which worked, will hopefully keep going to the next class which is not a course just weekly classes

Didn’t go to Kernow - all three days ran but the weather was iffy and Rew would not have enjoyed it at all. It was all hands on deck to move rings to fresh ground, I think they moved four of the five this morning! Kudos to all those who went and helped out!

I saw the updated on Kernow, looked grim . Venue at Bolesworth was fab , cars and caravans on hard standing , roads to rings and the rings were the horse show rings so sand surface .

Oh my goodness that’s a gorgeous picture!
I’m quite fancying an English Toy Terrier (which I realise yours is not) as my next agility dog, small ones are easier right!?

Small dog’s first champ cancelled due to ground conditions. 
When large dog gets a thing, she really gets a thing - no faffing with two sets of 6 weaves, straight on to 12 and working some hard entries too. Contacts next. Send me strength.

Nice to have a quick learner who retains knowledge though!

We don't have any shows this week or next, but we have a training session tomorrow and another next week.
These are extra on top of our usual Tuesday lessons.
We did all 4 days at A4A Easter, which was the wettest camping experience of my life.
I also had the opportunity to do 2 runs in hail storms on the Friday.
Was very proud that Arthur remained totally focused on his agility despite several bitches in season competing at the show.
We had a win and 4 x 2nd places, and also a 3rd in the pairs qualifier, out of 44.
I did quite a lot of nfc training runs, and sorted out his naughty startline and dogwalk.
By the last day he was fantastic. Clearly he needs 15 runs before he is at his best. The boy is much fitter than me.
Such a shame Wye Valley was cancelled. Surely this rain will stop soon.....
