Dog Vegas - 27 & 29/08/16

This little puppy has absolutely blown me away over two days of competing at Dog Vegas!

Ethel

Ethel has gone Grade 6! We won Grade 5 Agility, two Grade 5 Jumping classes and Combined 5-7 Jumping! We also came 2nd in Combined 5-7 Agility and came 6th in the Combined 1-5 Agility Dog Vegas Finals 2017 Qualifier with five faults due to an unfortunate missed contact, making us a Reserve! She had the second fastest time, and would have fully qualified! I am incredibly excited to start competing at this exciting new Grade! Pride is an understatement; I am absolutely stoked!

The Kennel Club International Agility Festival 2016 - 14/08/16

Hello everyone! Yesterday was our very first time attending and competing at the world's largest Agility show, The Kennel Club International Agility Festival, and Ethel did me - as per usual - proud!

Ethel

We won Grade 4 Jumping and came 5th in the Young Kennel Club Jumping Dog Of The Year (missing out on a place by 0.2 seconds...)! Both of her Jumping runs were absolutely fantastic and I couldn't have been prouder of her. She did some wonderful and promising contacts in her Agility classes after them being a little bit iffy at recent competitions. Getting placed - never mind winning - at The Kennel Club International Agility Festival is never an easy task, and me and Ethel went and did it first time! Oh, and we secured our winning position on the podium!

It was definitely one extremely exciting day of Agility!

Now it's time for us to venture off on our Devonshire holiday early tomorrow morning, where we'll be having fun and winding down for approximately 10 days, before returning home to another two days of competing! Although activity may be low on our blog during this time, you can keep your eyes peeled for activity on our social media accounts!

Recent Updates - New Blog Address & A Break From Our Blog Hops

Hello everyone! Before we begin, I would like to apologise for my constant absence in the blogging world. We have been ridiculously busy offline recently and I plan to get back to blogging regularly from now on. Before we get back to our usual blogging regime, there are a few recent updates that I must familiarise you all with. Although this may seem like a long, wordy and boring post, please do read it through as it is very important.

Firstly, we have a brand new and much more professional blog address for Earl's World! Earl's World can now be found using the address earlsworlddogblog.blogspot.com. We are not moving blogs, however, if searching for this blog, please we aware that it now has a new address.

We have also decided to put our Pinch Punch Post Blog Hop on hold for a while. Unfortunately, we have not been getting regular - or any - participants, and sorting out a blog hop that no one joins is a little too much for us and seems rather pointless, especially with us having had less time on our hands - and paws - recently. We hope to reboot the blog hop sometime in the future, however, we want to take some time off and recruit some new and reliable cohosts beforehand. We also want to sort out an emailing list to make more people aware of the hop's existence.

The Sepia Saturday Blog Hop hosted by Ruckus The Eskie and us has also been put on hold and will not be occurring anymore. I do not know whether this will be rebooted in the future. This was a decision that Ruckus took into his own paws.

Thank you for reading through this post; as I said at the start, it is incredibly important that these things are made clear to all of our wonderful readers. I also vow to visit all of your wonderful blogs a lot more frequently; I have missed reading them and leaving comments about their wonderful content.

Now you can all put your feet - and paws - up, and look forward to some much more regular posts from us! Me, Earl and Ethel have all missed sharing our adventures with you!

And finally, before we go for today, here is a reminder of our active social media pages:
