Lynne was so excited about Deco's first Champ Show and the prospect of qualifying for Crufts but it became very apparent when we got there that it wasn't going to be easy for her. Minor Puppy Dog had almost 20 entries and we were so surprised how old the Puppies looked. Even Deco's litter brothers had a full adult coat and acted like adults (there's one behind Deco at the end of the Video). Lynne wasn't surprised when Deco didn't make the cut as he was much too excited and wouldn't stand still to be examined.
Maybe Deco would be better suited to Agility? I'm working on persuading Lynne :-)
I was a little apprehensive about how Reno would perform at Nuts as he hadn't been to training for a while but actually had nothing to worry about as he was a really good boy.
Agility – Stopped on all of his contacts but kept releasing before I gave command so had to be put back on!!
Take your own line – decided he wanted to kiss the Judge (Ann) rather than weaving.
On the whole he is a lot more focused in the Ring. He is still trying to find excuses not to weave but is much more willing to come back and give it another try which is something I can work on when the weather improves.
The next Nuts show is on the 9th of Jan and if he continues to improve I'm considering enter him at Hargate or Dog Vegas in the New Year.
I want to finish this post by wishing all the best of luck to Reno's Auntie Rusty and Dave in the KC Olympia Stakes Final tonight. Whatever happens it is an incredible achievement to qualify an ABC for this final and we are immensely proud of you.
Good luck also to Jo and Keisha on Monday in the KC Olympia ABC Final. I know from personal experience what an amazing day you are going to have. Enjoy every minute of it. We'll be cheering you on. XX
