update

We have started surf in training to be hopefully and agility dog [maybe one day] she has taken to it well and seems keen to work and learn. as with everything she is different in many ways to my other dogs so we have to find her thing to train her. she can be sensitive so happy voice is the main thing and she thrives on it. she has done most pieces of equipment now and seems happy with them. she has only had 5 lessons and is showing she had a flair for it. will post some pics

post crufts

Not done a lot since crufts apart from turn 11 on friday 13th march and yes it was unlucky because kermit managed to bronco across the paddock and throw me off quite badly. all better now and we have a new daisy rein for him so even if he charges off he cant get his head between his knees which is when all the trouble starts. he has been good since then.
Dogs wise, surf loves the new lead and harness we got her at crufts but now i know why they put themk on huskies, wow she could beat them. We have started agility with her, just little bits. she loves aframes a lot and when we went to carolines for a practise and went for a cuppy , surf was out in the garden playing one min then the next she was sitting up on top of the a frame surveying everyone. never had a dog do that before but thats surf!!! we have a small garden dog walk / aframe thing and everytime we let her out to pee she runns along it cos she wants a treat. she will be a handful that one.
did a fun show with ace and paige, paige was good - slow but her confidence is growing now so hope that will come. ace was ace and managed one clear at the end but we had to go so dont know if he got anything. not to worry the fact he was clear was fab. got my lesson tonight at the stables so will see how that goes, its really windy here today so ponies will be hyper.

Wow what a fab crufts that was. I am so proud of my dogs and my mum and dad are so proud of me.On thursday Buzz and I did obedience, we didn't get a place but he was fab and did everything he was asked. Go wee Buzz. Friday was shop day!!! Saturday was mental so busy for me. First thing was grooming, I groomed a jrt cross and got 2nd. Next was handling. Paws is suh a young munster that it ould have gone either way with her but she behaved and well ........ we won!!!!!!!!! I was so happy mum and dad were heering and there were loads of ou friends from scotland there screaming. I will never forget it as long as I live. Heelwork to musi was next with Ace. He barked a bit but he was brill and we won that too!!!!! Then onto breed, I issed her first lass as i was daning with Ae so Marie a lovely lady with munsters showed her for me and got a 5ht out of 14 in her first post grad lass, she is only 23 months.

crufts

well thats us packing up for crufts. it should be fun , its not like any other dog show . the atmosphere is something else.we are taking three dogs down, ace buzz and paws. will miss wee surf though, we have never left her before for so long and it will be her birthday when we come home - a year already. ace is 3 the day we go and paws and me later on in march so its the birthday month. ace is in the first heel work to music freestyle comp the ykc has done but i know he will bark a lot which is a no no . as longs he barks and listens at the same time that will be ok. We have wee buzz doing the most things, obedience team agility and ykc agility dog of the year and paws is doing breed and handling. looking forward to it and we have friends going down too. hope to get round on sunday and watch the collies being shown as surfs breeder Nat is there with her crew.

sent home.

Well it snowed a bit today but it was enough for the school to decide to send the kids that live out with the town home yipee!!! So we built a snowman then headed down the the stables to see kermit and exercise him and any one else that need it. So i did him then natal and also had a lesson that i did on brambles a new young pony with a lot of energy, she was fun though. We are off now for half term till wednesday but have a busy schedule so no lounging around.Tomorrow i have my lesson on kermit. Saturday is a fun agility show for ace and paige. On sunday Anne at help fife animals has organisned a training day for obedience and heel work to music for the kids going to crufts. It is fab of her to do this and she does so much with her husband Ian to help all the kids to practise. We really appreciate it. It is good to get together with other kids and share ideas.
