Where We've Been Recently...

Hey guys, sorry for the recent inactivity around here, we've been super busy! To make up for it, I thought I'd give you a giant update on what we've been up to since you last heard from us back in October. Just a warning, we've been up to quite a lot!

Chippenham - 07/10/2017

Ethel was awesome at Chippenham, despite the awful weather that we had to run in! We went clear in both the YKC jumping and a regular jumping; she's always been a natural at jumping classes.

Dog Vegas - 11/10/2017

What an awesome way to start the winter series of agility! I couldn't be happier that both of my clear rounds with Ethel at this show were in agility classes! One of them got us 3rd, even with (beautifully) held contacts! Kelly also went clear in two of her classes, an agility and a jumping, and held her contacts awesomely too! The improvement in both of their contacts was huge!

British Agility Championships 2017 - 21 & 22/10/2017

Ethel, Millie & Dime

Ethel ran awesomely at this big event getting several clears, including 2nd in the Agria Brillo Bounce agility round, and qualifying for both the Agria Brillo Bounce and championship finals! We came 6th in the Agria Brillo Bounce final, despite a couple of misunderstandings from Ethel, and both Ethel and Kelly went clear in the junior speed jump off final! Such a fun weekend with awesome company.

YKC Newark Weekend - 28 & 29/10/2017

Millie & I

What an amazing weekend qualifying for Crufrs 2018 a whopping three times! I won the agility dog of the year qualifier with Ethel, came 2nd in the same qualifier with my friend's Mini Labradoodle Millie, and on top of all the agility success, I qualified with Earl in the groomer of the year qualifier! I simply can't wait for him to make his Crufts debut! March can't come soon enough!

European Course Running - 05/11/2017

Millie & Ethel

It was an awesome opportunity to train with one of the YKC Junior Agility Team GB coaches and practice running some European courses. Ethel was on fire with 3/3 fast clears! We really enjoyed it and I learnt a lot, with lots of information to take away and things to practice before the Team GB tryouts in December. It was also awesome to catch up with so many of our friends!

Dog Vegas - 11/11/2017

Kelly & I

Both Ethel and Kelly ran amazingly for me at this show and are looking super cool! I couldn't be happier with Ethel's contacts! I finally feel as though they've just about completely clicked and it's an awesome feeling. Kelly's listening to me really well, we just need to tighten up those turns and she'll be well on her way to many, many wins!

Fame On Fetch

I'm absolutely honoured to have been chosen to have my cover design printed on the latest edition of the YKC Fetch magazine! I love this magazine and still can't believe my artwork is on the front cover of everyone's copy!

Well, now you've had an update, I vow to stick with you guys and give you regular, on time updates from now on! We have some awesome stuff coming up, including the YKC Junior Agility Team GB tryouts for next year's trip to the European Open Junior Agility Championships 2018 in Holland! Keep your eyes peeled for the next post, and I'll see you then!
