Capable canines

Last weekend Lucy and Milly, Andrew and Poppy, Mel and Conker, Ali and Winni and Gunna and Julie and Harry and Sally all competed at capable canines show. We all camped over and its a gorgeous venue plenty of dog walking was done and splashing around in the river humans and dogs....
Everyone did really well and Melanie got her first ever clear in her first every show woop woop!! Unfortunalty it was in beat the judge where the judge puts a time in an envelope and who ever is closest to it wins otherwise she had the quickest time in her group so if it was a normal class she would have won it.
Andrew and Poppy were abit of a differnet story unfortunaly Poppy really doesnt seem up for it anymore so whether shes in pain we dont no so she will be taking a break from it all.
Lucy and Milly had alot of near misses again and mainly just one mistake but ending up being a costly mistake by being eliminated but we all learn and hopefully they'll be clicking again soon.
Ali and Winni had some good clears and so did Gunna so well done there both starting to look like proper agility dogs woop woop.
Julie and Sally and Harry i think had alot of just one poles otherwise they would have gone clear and no running out the ring so thats fab news.
Well done guys im really proud of you and we had a great weekend with some fantastic people and a few humans lol......
And i mustn't forget the clubs biggest acievement was Sizzles getting his bronze good citizen with no training so well done Andrew and Sizzles!!!

Bretford.

This weekend we went to Bretford show and im sorry to say Lucy and Milly had no spasy moments at all so they must be getting better lol. Actually they are getting loads better and even people are commenting the same around the rings. Milly is always abit excited on her first run of the day and forgets herself a little and Lucy does very well to handle her. We tried a new thing with her contacts which im pleased to say worked well and shes had some smashing weaves. Towards the end off the weekend the even managed to get round a course without Milly barking at Lucy to hurry up and shes really starting to look ahead and take lines on her own so some fab work well done guys.
Lucie and Murphy also joined us on Sunday, there first round was lovely Murphy just slipped on landing after a fence and went in the second weave but im pleased to say he then went on to do lovely weaves. In there jumping he just had a pole because his naughty Mummy gave him a command in the air and he just droped his back legs. They had a loveley clear in the combined 1-3 agility to finish up 11th place out of a class of 150 dogs woop woop well done guys im so proud of you!

Cotswold Canine rescue and Murphy pics....

Here are two fab pictures that Lucie has sent me off Murphy at the show on Sat as you can see he is very proud of his rosette. We have the pictures that Pen has taken so we will upload them onto the blog asap with some prices aswell.
I must once again thank Crofts for there goodie bags i know the people that won them where very appreciative, so please dont forget guys if you go into the shop please say thankyou for them.
Lucie has just informed us that she runs a dog rescue it is differnt in the way that the dogs dont go into kennels they stay in foster homes so happier dogs :). I no a few off you are looking for dogs so may be worth a look on her website to see if there is anything that may interest you. As a club we have decided to also do abit of fundraising for the rescue so we are planning some things which we will let you no off asap. Please take a look www. cotswoldcaninerescue.co.uk.

3rd Little Stars show

What lovely weather we had for our third show we were very lucky. All the dogs went well and fingers crossed it gave some of the new people an insight into the agility scene and some off the rules that dont come up in training. I was really pleased with how the dogs coped with the atmosphere and weather and saw some very promising bits from all handlers and dogs. Fingers crossed we will get the photos up asap for you all and you can order them through me or Lucy. Points table has been updated below so you can check and her where yesterdays results

Golden Valley

To start with i must congratulate a few off the younger members of the club who entered the Banbury District dog show. Results are as follows
Jordan and Marly 1st best condition and 2nd Most appealing eyes and 3rd in Junior handler.
Nicola and Skye got a 1st in Junior handler and 4th best rescue!
Well done guys you are great handlers and very exciting prospects keep up the good work.
Last weekend Julie, Ali, Melanie and Andrew camped with us at Golden Valley, i think they may have been a little shocked at how obsessed the agility lot are. Winni had 2 fab clears in the anysize which is fab shes such a superstar and Harry i was told was alot quicker than what he normally is in training lol and just had a few faults being handler error but the partnership had a fab time. Gunner had a great time checking that everyone was watching him rather than following his Mum around opps i think he may have been rather shocked by it all. Poppy and Andrew had some great bits although she was clerly tierd by the Sunday and Andrew was rather hungover!!! Sunday we did the team, first team was Ali,Me and Diesel, Melanie and my Jess and Julie and Sally. This team went well Gunner just having a look round and Mel did a fab job with Jess especially as we had to do a change over but they were both great and Sally was fab and hopefully giving Julie abit off confidence as she stayed with and was always watching her it was lovely to watch. The second team was Andrew me Lucy and Sarah. Poppy really wasnt interested at all in it on Sunday and i think Andrews hangover was kicking in but she did some fab bits, Lucy went with Milly and it was a course that really suited Milly and they had a fab time round and i cant seem to remember what Sarah did sorry there was so much to think about. So we have taken the positives away and are going to work on negatives especially weaves then tunnel as that seemed to be a big distraction.
We have our club show this Saturday and are hoping to see as many people as possible, i have set some nice courses with 2 rounds with no weaves in!!! Remember to bring your own food and drink and chairs!!
