Awesome weekend spent with some awesome friends at North Derbyshire! This year's show brought us success, fun, laughs and, most impressively, Crufts qualification, meaning we can look forward to competing in not one, but two events there next year! Roll on March!
The highlight of the weekend was definitely winning YKC Teams with our amazing team, the North Derbyshire Young Guns, and qualifying for the final of the event at next year's Crufts! I couldn't be happier with Ethel, who put in a fantastic clear for the team! I can't wait to compete with Ethel and our awesome teammates at the world's biggest dog show next March!
After training the previous week away with multiple sessions on the contact trainer, our hard work paid off and Ethel's contacts were fantastic at the show, getting her a very respectable 6th in a big agility class! These newfound contacts remained for the champ classes and, despite the rain, she ran really well in them!
Kelly and I also had two awesome clears in jumping over the course of the weekend, one of these being a 2nd in the junior speed jump off, qualifying us for the event's final at the British Agility Championships in October! This means I'll be running both Ethel and Kelly in the final!
Overall, it was a fantastic weekend, especially as far as qualification goes! Now to look forward to the events we've qualified in!
Congrats!
