The agility thread

[MurphysMinder]

Is it truly awful? I think I've persuaded a friend to come and make a weekend of it. Worst case we go back to the Airbnb and drink!

Long time since I’ve been there , for May show GSD rings were outside but yes I recall the halls were a bit grim . My lasting memory of SKC is that it was the show where parvo first appeared in the Uk . We had 2 dogs who became ill and a litter of pups who were very sick but amazingly survived .

We went to the kc G5-7 show at the dog training barn yesterday.
Finally got our last win to G7.
Can't believe it's actually happened.
I've even entered my first champ, while I'm feeling confident.

Congratulations!

Dark hall and small rings is my memory

The dog is also dark and small, maybe the judge won't be able to see the missing teeth

Fabulous news, well done! That last win is such a special milestone Enjoy the feeling and enjoy your first champ.

I've made a right mess of my diary this year and managed to agree to farm-sitting for family the weekend of a champ show I would normally attend, that will leave us until June without a champ run. Seriously contemplating a road trip to SKC to do the double instead - there's a show judge that really likes my dog who is giving tickets for the first time, with champ agility the day after. It's only 6 hours.

6 hours each way or 6 hours round trip? If the former then you get a Travelodge night as a bonus, if round that’s easy.

Each way. Nice enough drive though, get on the M6 and just stay on it, and Tebay is the halfway point.

Friend has now been coerced and we’re having a day out in Edinburgh as well.
