An Amazing Final Agility Weekend Of 2015

Dog Vegas and Agility Nuts couldn't have been more successful for us during the previous weekend! An amazing end to the Agility competitions of 2015 for us, for sure! After months of competitions wondering whether Earl had another win in him, after months of battling course times and tough competition in the higher graded classes, he went and won Grade 5 Jumping at Dog Vegas, meaning we only have one more Agility win until Grade 6! I am SO proud of him, and myself for completing such a challenging course! Ethel also competed in her first proper competitions with the availability of placings! And these weren't the only successes... read on for more!

So, as well as Earl winning Grade 5 Jumping, he came 2nd in Grade 5 Agility! He also went clear in his other combined classed; and all of his runs were well inside the set course times! I couldn't have been happier with his performance! He was really raring! Ethel also did some classes, gaining only 5 faults in the weaves in Grade 3 Jumping, but doing the remaining course faultlessly. By times, she would have won by five seconds if she'd done the weaves first time! She is amazing! She also did another course, following all of my instructions, but I messed up, forgetting some of the course!

At Agility Nuts, Earl did well again, coming 4th, 6th, and going clear in his other classes. Ethel also did amazingly well, coming 4th in a class of around 35 other dogs in ABL Jumping, being beaten by three medium dogs, at least one a collie! She basically won small! I'm so proud of her, and she loves Agility!

2015 has been an interesting Agility year for me and the dogs. Earl has regained his ultimate happiness when running in the competitive ring, and Ethel has began her Agility career, placing highly in a huge class. We have all progressed and learnt more about the world of Agility, and we simply cannot wait for 2016!
