H&H Halloween Just 1 day at this show.. not bad though ; 3 clears out of 4. Came 2rd in ABC agility & my first Grade 6 top ten place (7th) in agility. Dad was well chuffed. Its been a cracking summer and I am looking forward to a couple of months off !! Just training for Dec & Jan apparently ! Roll on my xmas dinner ! |
Ill again.. but still had some fun. Decided to blow my contacts again & further frustrate mum ! |

Wilton Not bad.. Got my grade 5 jumping win that we were after .. and 2x 2nd places in G5 Agility (boooo) Thats it for G5 .. in with the big boys now. Apparently we have a new way of running.. fast !! Tried it in the G1-7 Agility and were only 2 seconds off the winning G7 dog.. so chuffed with that !! |
Whey-hey !! Grade 4 !! 2x wins in G3 Agility ... well done me ! |

West Lakes Another of those shows where dad was judging so I only got 1 days competing. Quite enjoyed it though and had a 3rd in G5 Agility + a couple of jumping places. Did the worlds most ridiculous G4-5 agility course on Saturday.. G7's would have struggled. Dad came out with twisted blood ! |
Mum and I not really on the same page this weekend but still got her 2 rosettes in jumping. I was anxious on the start line cause she was anxious and my tummy wasn’t really right on the sat so I pinged some poles. Contacts were not great, I only stopped on 1 out of 12!! I got the others just didn’t stop… Not my fault, mum was all funny and strange. Wish she’d get her self sorted. Saw my little brother though. He’s very handsome even if I say so myself! |
Another weekend where I was quite good but mum got the odd bit wrong. I managed to get an agility top 10 on sunday. Decided I was a collie again this weekend and did some twizzling when asked to go into tunnels. Mum amazed she got me round 2 really tough jumping courses and a tough agility. I had the odd poles cause she did something wrong but I took all the things in the right order and in a neat fashion so I got lots of praise. Seemingly I turned really well for a big lad! Overheard them talking and I think Dad wants to take me on next year so mum can concentrate on Diz, don’t know if I like that idea…… |

Hare 'n' Hounds Summer Show : Cracking Show !! We did excellently ! About 16 clear rounds & 12 placings.. WON out of Grade 5 too !! Managed a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3x 4ths & a 6th in Agility.. no 5th place???? An omission on the CV there !! Eric: "Whey hey.. G6 here we come" Garry: "Oh Shit, Grade 6 ?? !!!!" |
All my training of Mum the past few weeks has paid off and she didn’t mess up my contacts once! And she was all calm with me which was great. Had lots of clears and managed a 2nd in jumping which she was amazed at as I was up against some really fast collies (mum never thinks I we can get anywhere in Jumping cause we’re not collies, she of little faith!) Gave her a 3rd place in the ABC which I thought she was going to explode with excitement at because I was only beaten by a G6 dog in 2nd and Nigel Staines and Zico in 1st. Not bad for a little Aussie who’s still only 2 and who had diarrhoea and couldn’t eat much for over a week. Off to the lovely show at the beach next weekend so hopefully my tum will be better and she’ll not hold all these contacts so I can get a win at last! |
Mum was really weird at this show. Wasn’t really sure if she wanted me to run at times as she was all calm and I need her to be excited when running me! Still managed to give her some lovely clears and get myself a nice little selection of rosettes. Hopefully she’ll get it right with me and get this win soon. |

Weardale: Dad, what you doing? making me go wrong thats what. Some on; get yer finger out ! Thats a full weekend with no rosettes.. dont think that's happened since 2009 ! |
Still not getting these
contacts right and mum beginning to despare at me. We did some
training with a women called Laura on the Friday and, as I’d suspected all
along, it’s all mums fault. I’m not a naughty, p*s^ taking little
witch I am, in fact a confused little angel (ok, that’s stretching it a
bit far but a confused aussie definitely!). Laura explained to mum
how to fix it and seemingly I’ve a LOT of training to do the next few
weeks if I want to run at HnH………
|
No clears (apart from a
cracking pairs run but my big brother had 5faults
L
) but some lovely stuff. We made some of the Champ handlers giggle
when I didn’t stop 2o2o on the Aframe and mum, rather than telling me off
or putting me back over it, shouted “oi cheeky”. Dad didn’t try and
run me this weekend because I ran really well for Aunty Judith in training
midweek and they’ve finally twigged that I prefer women handlers (and he
calls me lots of bad names, big stupid oaf being the only ones I can put
in type so I’m not going to do my best for him).

July Not done much blogging this year.. been a very lazy Monkey. Got soaked at Otley this weekend.. not as soaked as dad mind u !! he was wet through. Bad timing .. ring 1 when the rain started .. no cover !! Had my first G5 show.. got a 5th place in jumping .. well happy. Do we not get a weekend off soon? I need a rest ! |
Still being made to hold contacts by mum. Aunty Di wont let me run... so I am therefore taking revenge by kicking poles in jumping !!! hee hee.. I am a witch |
I think dad is gonna run me in jumping now .. suppose I'd better start
listening to him ! Come on mum.. fed up with this G3 agility.. get my win... |
