Who’s a big boy, then? Five years old already… and still a big puppy! We are going to have to teach you to direct those bicycle-chasing urges of yours into more suitable activities of fetching and retrieving. Even if it nearly kills one of us Well, apart from the remaining celebrations and special [...] The whole gang were there today, Gemma, Finn and myself, and Rosie and Pepper with Ang at BDOC for the double trial. I’ll let Ang tell her story, but no matter what she says, she’s damn close to getting a good pass at Novice. Just a bit of detail work on the heel position, [...]  We’re back from EPIC, with our haul of trophies and quali certificates It was touch and go at the start, with the pre-arranged handler for Finn not arriving in time for the earlier-than-planned start… but thanks to the Herbas for organising a third rider in three days for Finn – Shane did a [...] Talk about an endurance test!

Angela caught a cold this week, so she had to pull out of running with Finn, so at the eleventh hour, I had to scrounge – somehow – a Canine Association member who wasn’t already entered, and [...] Ang (Pepper’s new ‘mum’) kindly agreed to be Finn’s handler in the official ANKC “Endurance Test” next month.

On the way, visibility was down to about three car-lengths in the pea-souper [...] A week or two ago, I put the coat-rake through Finn’s hair and in one stroke it came out full (40mm tynes!). 30 minutes later, he was giving no more… but there were two plastic shopping-bags full of undercoat and his girth was down by 20% or more. Two days ago, I gave him [...] Gemma, Maxi, Styx and Banner et al really started behind the 8-ball today. Their UD ring was stomped flat by the Agility trial the day before, and was chock-full of scents and interesting diversions. In the seek-backs, it was more like blind-man’s bluff! Gemma did pretty well, but just short of OC level. Even [...] |
