It hss been absolutally ages since I last posted but I have been so buisy I havent had any time.

I did Naws winter series Sammy did good throught the 3 shows I did and Harry amused the judges every time he ran by sitting in the poo buckets in the corner haha. I realy enjoyed myself and so did the dogs.

We have been doing flyball training inside throught the winter and both dogs loved it. When it came to a competition I have to admit I had my doubts but I shouldnt have becaue Sammy was a star like always and Harry loved his first competition. The overall result was springers last and second to last but Harry's team won when the two teams had to race again each other and the day was a great day out.

Training is going fine Sammy is preparing for Shrewsbury next weekend and harry is preparing for his first outdoor flyball competition on bank holiday monday. Harry has realy taken to flyball and doesnt seem to be fased by anything, thank god.

That is all from us now I will try to be more punctualy at adding posts and I will update after my latest competitions.

Hi all. I have finally got round to my every so ofton update haha.

Way have i been up to, urm well to tell the truth not a lot.

Oh yea i went to the first NAWS, ran sammy and harry. Sammy got 2nd in agility behind julies dog, arr. He was terable at picking his feet up he was taking poles down all over the, i think the surface was too deep for him. Harry had fun, he ran wild around every ring doing everything i didnt want him to do haha.

Neither of them like our new car. Sammy thinks it is appropriate to jump around and be a pain in the arse. Well he can think again when he is in a cage. Harry is just nervous (i am not suprised with the way sammy jumps around).

I cant think of anything else to post so i will try thinking and post again soon, hopefully before christmas haha.

Lincoln and Springers

2008-10-04T11:48:00.000-07:00

Lincoln was great again this year, well only it was better because i won :). Sammy won his first run agility by a wopping 9 seconds and got a second in his tricky jumping run. we did a second agility run but stupid me messed it up. I can't say that the trophies i won were anything special though.

Springers winder warm up was today and my first judging was today. It started off wet and ended wet with a little break in between. I ran harry first in the helter skelter which was his first ever ever compertition course. Well lets just say he did his own version of the course and we didnt get a clear round. Sammy did a super clear round but unfortunatly missed out on the places. In the jumping course harry again made it up as we went around in his first run but in his second run settled down a lot to just having an unlucky rong course. Sammy was a pain in both his jumping runs not listening and getting eleminated. In the agility it was a very hard course which harry had no chance on. He got eliminated both times but he got his contacts. Sammy was so close but so far in his first round he was clear apart from a clip to a pole and in his second run he followed my hand and took the wrong jump.

Judgeing was realy nervewraking First my course didnt fit in the ring so Eline and Meshel helped me adapt it. Then it went ok i think. I enjoyed it but i am tired now.

Overall it has been to go compertitions and some great days out. Bring it on NAWS!

It has been quite a while since i came back of holiday but i got some pictures of the dogs when i was away and they were intended for hear. I will try and put them up but if it doesn't work i am sorry i cant do it :(

Tired dogs

2008-07-23T08:10:00.000-07:00

The dogs have been shattered today, i think it may have something to do with them being out for a 6 hour walk yeaterday all the way from my house up to castle hill and back. Oh and they also went to training last night. They slept pritty well last night.

I took them for a run this morning and Sammy was that tired he knept sitting down and prottecting his ball.

Sammy is a 3 1/2 year old black and white springer cross cocker (sprocker) spaniel who loves to make himself heard, he is the loudest dog I know. Sammy's favourite hobbies are eating food, chasing tennis balls when doing flyball and doing agility. I have been doing agility and flyball with Sammy for 2 1/2 and he has lately been behaving himself at agility compertitions and has started getting placed in some of his classes. We have not done many flyball competitions this year which is a shame because Sammy loves his flyball.

Harry is a 2 1/2 year old liver and white springer spaniel who is the fastest dog I know. Harry's favourite hobbies are eating food, running off when he is supposed to be listening and cuddling into people. Harry is still in training for agility and flyball and has been so for about 9 months. He is quite hard to controll when he is off the lead because his brain just fixes on the running side of things not the listening part :). I am hoping to start doing little compertition with him next year.
