Well our agility is completed for 2011, had a very good season but really should have done better.
Had some very good judges, and scrimers some brilliant courses as well.
We had with Jodie our first ever clear round in agility.
Also won 2 jumping rounds and had a few other rossies mostly with time faults or fences down.
I think Jodie was quick all year but stupid little errors make a big difference.
Maybe need to not go to the further away shows, as the petrol is eating up my pension money quickly.
At the time of writing we have finished 3rd in the oldies, platinum smalls on Agilitynet which is very good considering we have only done about 8 shows this year.

Well on to ACTS show this Sat/Sun.
Hope we have a wee bit of success at this one, also hope the weather is good for agility.
Sat weather was drizzly and very slippy underfoot.
We had a 3rd in agility and a 4th in jumping both with 5 faults though, Jodie was very quick again.
Sun we surpassed ourselves and had a 1st in 1-4 combined Jumping, the weather was much brighter no rain but it was still slippy.
That is our agility season finished until next year, think I will have to put some effort into some training and stop these stupid little mistakes we make.

SKC
Of to SKC on the Sunday means an early start again, doing a pairs with an unknown medium dog wonder if they know that agility is fun for me. Lets hope the weather is good, not like KOF.
Well weather was iffy, cold a bit windy and some drizzle.
Met my pairs partner, who was the best looking dog at the show, a very handsome Sheltie called Moto.
My 1st run came to grief at the 1st fence, Jodie knocked it down, my pairs partner must have said what a numpty.
2nd run was much better but we still had 10 faults, so still in grade 3 and not likely to get out of it as well.
Well on to the pairs, I thought Jodie ran well, we were clear I went for the baton for the changeover, and Jodie shot over the first fence again so we got the big E before Moto even started. Next time I will just grab Jodie and the baton at the same time when we finish.
Moto must have thought I have a real numpty as a partner, think he will be looking for a new partner next year, I enjoyed the show and meeting Mark and Sam who travelled a long way to get to SKC probably a 1,000 mile round trip.

KOF show
Had a very good time at the show on the Sat, just started to rain after we had finished.
Had 5 faults in Linda Park ring, had a clear and a 3 rd in Aline combined agility also a clear and a 1st place in Adelle jumping graded.
Rained all night and at 06.30 decided the conditions were too wet for doing agility and went home like a drookit rat. Some parts of the road home were flooded.
Hope all the other competitors got safely out of the field at the end of the day

Granite City Show
Granite City show this weekend, at least the classes for smalls and mediums are much better than the Beardie Collie show which was last week.
Wonder if we will maybe manage a clear round at this show?
Only have 3 shows after this one to do this year so it would be nice to get a rossie again.
Well Jodie was going well on the Sat but all the big E.
On Sunday we had a second place in a jumping and a third in an agility round both were clears.
But the jumping one had 90 secs of time faults, very tight time from the judge only the winner was just inside the time.
It was nice to go home with 2 nice photo frames although I have no piccies of Jodie jumping.

Well no more shows for us until GCDAC 23/24th July.
I like East Lothian show, but have to curtail a few shows because of the costs of travelling.
Not doing the Beardie show either, even if it is local because of the classes on offer.
Smalls and Mediums are all combined 1 to 7 except 1 class, whille the large dogs get mostly graded classes.
