It's been a long time!

So what have we been up to since 7th Sept?

A visit to Dorset for the 1st weekend. Reno and Ollie still love each other loads. They really aren't aware of the size difference and Ollie has a unique way of getting Reno on the ground - watch him going for the legs!!


Next came Nottingham ADTC Fun Day. A relaxed day with three easy jumping classes. Kiros won two of the classes and had a Judges Special in the third class as he would have won if he hadn't had a pole down.


Hazel attempted to take some photo's of him jumping but he was too fast!!
Then onto Dog Vegas Agility show at Bakewell. Lovely venue, perfect weather and sensible courses. We only managed two clears but came away with respectable placing in each. 7th in Grade 6 Agility on Saturday and 4th in the "Money" class on Sunday winning us £7. Well done Kiros!!
Last weekend we were at Lune, our first indoor show of the winter season. Kiros loves running indoors and again came away with a reasonable place in Grade 6 Agility, 5th.
This weekend coming sees the first of the Agility Nuts winter shows. Ann is Judging in the afternoon so I'll be ring managing for her but will have all morning to concentrate on my Doggies. I'm really looking forward to it.
Reno's training is coming on well. Pen has moved to an indoor venue so he found that very exciting last Thursday, especially as there were different Dogs in the class.
I've been taking him to most shows that I have been to and he is getting very used to them. I was really proud of him on Saturday at Lune as the venue must be strange and very noisy for a puppy. He took it all in his stride apart from being "spooked" when Steve Croxford jumped over the barrier in front of him but Steve, being the experienced Dog person that he is, just ignored it and fed him a few treats. He's now Reno's new best friend!!
Reno is entered in a couple of Breed Shows. Midlands Counties on his Birthday (24th Oct) and then one in Newark the weekend after. Only two weeks to go. I really should be practicing!!
Well done to everyone who has done so well recently particularly Jo for qualifying Keisha for next years ABC semi.
