Last KC show of the year

And a change of venue that was definitely in our favour:-)

Bakewell Showground wasn't in a good way after the rain the week before so the Dog Vegas team managed to move the show to Southwell Racecourse.  Just a 30 min drive from home!!

Reno definitely saved his best for last with just 3 eliminations over the weekend and 3 clear rounds.

Graded 4-5 Jumping - Judge:- Lisa Pluves - This course frightened me!!  It had two sets of 6 weaves - one following the other with right angled entries.  I really shouldn't underestimate Reno as he did them lovely, only to be E'd when I miss timed a four jump Flick-Flack pushing him through a gap rather then over the jump.

Graded 4-5 Jumping - Judge:- Tom Greening - Clear and 9th place. The only way I could think of to handle this course was to race into a box for a front cross.  I managed to get there but really slowed Reno down in the process:-(

Graded 4-5 Agility - Judge:- Kevin Lampitt - Really loved this course and Reno ran it so well.  Just a 5R in the weaves as I set him up wrong after a front cross but great contacts.

Graded 4-5 Agility - Judge:-Ian Dobison - I think the biggest mistake that I have made with Reno is allowing him to run onto tunnels without making it clear that I am asking him to do them.  In a recent training session with Jo Tristram she stressed that anyone that sends their dogs to tunnels without running at them is setting themselves up for failure in the future.  How true!!  This course started jump, weaves, tunnel and because Reno could see the tunnel entrance when I set him up he made a bee-line for it missing the weaves E'd!! 

Graded 4-5 Jumping - Judge:- Stephanie Wilson-Astbury - Clear but I mucked up a pull-through waisting time.  After the training session with Jo T I don't think I'd make the same mistake again!!  Really impressed with Reno's independent weaves on this course.

Graded 4-5 Jumping - Judge:- Heather Mitchell - Clear again but out of placings.  I forgot the course and sent Reno the wrong way only to have to call him back again - Nice dog shame about the handler!!

Combined 3-5 Agility - Judge:- Sam Chapman -  Going really well until Reno came off the side of the See-Saw (I think I set him up wrong!!) so E'd when I put him back over it.

I'm sorry to say that i don't remember Kiros's runs at this show but am convinced that they were all clear.  After all, my perfect boy never does anything wrong does he?  Hehe!!
