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.

Went to Acts 8/09/12.
Well we got a second place in agility on the Sat.
On the Sunday achieved a 4th place again in agility.
Do not think we will get an agility win.
Weather on Sat was like Gleniffer show hot hot.
Sunday was still warm, but not a lot of sun just good agility weather.

Nearly the end of August now and still no agility shows for us since the beginning of June.
Now the weather here has been very wet, just hoping for some sunny warm days so that the ground will dry up for ACTS show on the 8/9th Sept.

Agility Shows

With so many agility shows being canx because of ground conditions, I am slightly peed off.
Last show was at beginning of June for us.
Are we going to get our first run in grade 4 or are we doooomed.

East Lothian Show 2012, well had a nice day out at St Andrews and left early to go to Edinburgh, arrived about 07.00 and then the rain came on, it was very heavy.
Wow loads of rain and they made a decision to make an announcment at 09.00 about the show.
Show was canx for today, but also the bypass round Edinburgh was also shut because of flooding.
So took advatage of the bowling club's cafe for a couple of hours before heading back home.
Stopped off at Kinross service station to let dogs have a wee run but the rain was lighter.
Well T IN THE PEE was on, and loads of young people were getting picked up by parents at the service station. Well they were like drookit rats but all were smiling, their mud was a good bit deeper than East Lothians. Took 2 hours just to get out of Edinburgh, washing machine is now filled up and ready to go.
