WBSDS Show

What a lovely day we had on Sunday!
Firstly the exciting news. Ann didn't have to worry about the ABC qualifier as she got a call from the organiser the week before telling her that Harley had qualified for the semi-final. He was first reserve at Scunthorpe last August and one of the people who qualified had pulled out.

I know Ann would have been happier if Harley had qualified in his own right but, with no pressure on them, they put in an excellent run on Sunday and finished in 12 place in a class of almost 300 proving them to be very worthy of their place in the semi.

Kiros also had a very good run in the ABC. It was a very big course with deceptive angles and jumps slightly out of line that had to be worked. After a slight detour at the beginning he set off at full pelt with me in hot pursuit only just managing to get into position. We finished in a time of 37.459 seconds which I thought really demonstrated the size of the course until Dave and Rusty ran it in just over 33 seconds making it look like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the Park! Still, I was more then happy with our 8th place against very strong competition.

Kiros's other 2 runs were also very good. Clear in his jumping, which required intelligent jumping on his part, but out of the placings and Eliminated in his Agility but very good obstacle discrimination, taking a Dog Walk between two tunnel entrances.

Reno had a great day playing with his Dad, Ronny and his brother and sister, Zippy and Megan. Unfortunately I forgot my camera when we met Megan so have had to seal this photo but I have lots of shots of Reno and Zippy playing.
