Was at Avon agility show last weekend, weather was terrific, courses good judges were brill.
Jodie had a 1st in jumping graded.
It gets tougher from now on because Jodie and Ellie are both in grade 5, must remember to run them in the correct order as well.
Ellie surprised me in Mark's class by going clear.
My camping spot was ace as well, not far to get to the rings, also saw the swallows feeding their young above the toilets.
Lots of happy people going about because it is a well run friendly show.

Well we are off to Eglington Park this weekend. 25th May
The weather at this venue last year was actually the best weather for the whole year.
Lovely place for walks around the grounds and a ruined castle as well.
Well what can I say smashing time weather was terrific, courses were excellent, some new judges I think judging for the first time.
Not only that had my best results of my agility career had a 2nd in agility, 2nd in jumping.
Best result was a win in agility making me up to grade 5 now, its only taken me 6 years to do it and was my 1st ever agility win.
Now the question is how will I cope in the higher grades?

Kingdom Of Fife show 13/14 April.
Had a good time at the show nice to see a lot of the usual people and a few new ones coming into agility.
Saturday was nice but was all the big E.
Sunday it rained in the morning cleared up at lunch time .
Well decided to try a different tactic with Jodie, stood her on the start line insted of just releasing from my hands.
Well must have done something right as we got our only clear round of the day, which became a 1st place .
Wow a third of the way to grade 5 now.
Canna wait until our next show at Perth.

Winter should be over by now but it is still very cold.
Have our first outing to a fun agility show next week.
Jodie has put a little weight on, and Ellie seems to be a wee bit lighter than usual.
Jodie was very quick at the fun day show, but all big E's.
Got the judges special award though for entertainment.
Wow snow every day since and no training at all for us, field was 6 inches deep last week.
If this carries on until April wonder what Dundee will be like?
Hinna entered it anyway so disna matter.
First proper KC show for us will be KOF, really have to get up another grade this year.
Not doing Woodie either and got some bad news about Avon they are going to Biggar this year.

Well we had a wee trip to Hare & Hounds in September nearly a 600 mile round trip for a 3 day show.
The journey down on the Thursday was pretty bad rain from Edinburgh down the a68, stopped driving as the roads were flooded at Jedburgh.
Arrived safely at the show at about 07.00 on the Friday.
Friday was good agility weather and we managed a 3rd in 4/7 agility, wow the competition is much better than in Scottish shows, fast mini cockers and Poodles, Border Terriers.
Sat Jodie managed 2 clears but no places, Sunday was 1 agility clears. Had to miss 2 runs as needed to get back home at a reasonable time on Sunday.
Very good well managed show, banter on the tannoy was brilliant, still running at 18.45 on the Saturday ,and was getting dark pretty quick.
A lot of the judges were new to me, and they put up some very nice courses.
