Sepia Saturday - A Surprise at Nuts

To kickstart the Christmas holidays, today, we participated in the 3rd Agility Nuts Winter show of the series. As always, it was bags of fun - however, we soon came to realisation that the AN crew had decided to mix not only our original mix of two groups, but add another group to today's competition mix for Earl and I! So it was made harder! But we gave it our all and did wonderfully again!

We grabbed ourselves a fantastically ran Clear 2nd place in Time Fault & Out Agility, out of 25 other competitors, including the new group added in, a 6th (Clear Round) in standard Agility, and a 10th (Clear Round) in Take Your Own Line (a very fast class - you can go wherever you want!). Some of the courses were meant for pure speed, and not as much accuracy… however we still came through with our accuracy, and I am chuffed again at Earl's speed for him! You could tell he was loving it again! He's coming on in competition every time! We have gained over 90 league points with our successes today, too!

So, although the mixing of the new level first surprised us a little, it didn't phase Earl's performance and we were still successful.

I took the dogs on plenty of field walks around the beautiful venue, where we attempted a few photo-shoots - all the passing by people and dogs caught Ethel's attention away from the camera (haha), but of course, Earl shined using his incredibly photogenic way! But of course, Ethel's almost (hehe….) there with the concept of 'sitting still' (maybe…)…!!

Here we captured the action of sitting on the mini hills - and as a bonus, in sepia (obviously).

The star of the day dawg in his prime!

So, overall, another very successful and fun day! I also have an ambition to purchase some standard weave poles to practice in the garden with Earl, to improve the speed at competition and aim for him to favour going through them more.

See you all tomorrow for some Black and White fun!
