Our Agility news, results and advice

 

We will be attending more agility shows now Skye is old enough and competent, so visit this page again soon to see further results. As Tipsy is beginning to struggle to see the jumps I have decided that Wellingborough on 5th/6th July 2008 will be her last show. See Tipsy's Page for my tribute to this larger than life character.

Skye decided that she'd behaved well enough all day and it was time to have some fun with me. Contacts - what are they? Weaves are for dancing round. You gotta give it to her, she knows how to have fun!

Hayley ran Skye in the Jumping Class and she took a disliking to a pole picker sitting in a chair and wouldn't weave at all - but Hayley got her round eventually and everyone cheered!

I ran Skye in the Pairs and Hayley ran Sunnie. Skye knocked a couple of jumps down and ran past the weaves, although at least we did get round
