 Went to our first agility show of the season today Sunday 7th March, it was an unafiliated show run by 'Tailwaggers' under the BAA rules.
Wispa won the Power and Speed
And it was Tag's first attempt at a show, as our training has been badly disrupted due to the weather conditions we have had over winter, I waited to see the courses before I ran him.
The Power and Speed for his level was a lovely flowing course, so we had a go, in the queue I suddenly realised that he had only done the Dog Walk at full height once before, that boy knows no fear, he went clear in the Power section, getting his contact's like in training, and went clear in the speed section, to finish 3rd overall, but Rosettes only went to 2nd, never mind, I was really pleased with his efforts, I didn't put him any of the other classes entered, as I felt they were a bit too complicated for this stage in the game.

Tag went to his 2nd unafilliated Agility show today 27th March Absolutley Barking Agility Addicts,  he completed two rounds, and finished in 5th place in Agility and 3rd place with a Trophy in the Jumping.  I was very pleased with him, medium, small and toy size dogs all competed for the awards, and each time a medium dog won, so he did very well against the 'bigger dogs', as Tag is inexperienced, I ran him as a Toy sized dog, he does qualify, as these dogs are under 11".  See his photo with his Rosettes and Trophy on his page.

We went to Shrewsbury Showground today 4th April for the TAG agility show, and Todd came along to meet up with his brother and sister, not bad photo's of the boys, but the ones of Devon are not so good, hope you like them.

Back to Shrewsbury showground for Shrewsbury Agility Show beginning of May and it was Tags first 'proper' Agility Show.
I was thrilled with him, he got two clear rounds, one in Agility and the other in Jumping and he finished in 5th place, what a little star.

Saturday 12th June, Bodie Qualified for Crufts 2011 at the NBSDC Championship Show, not that we shall be going to Crufts next year as it is a weekday and work commitments mean I can't go.

Saturday 19th June, Tag did very well at Newton Heath Agility show, he was 2nd in Grade 3 Agility and 2nd in Grade 3 Jumping only beaten by a working cocker which was almost twice the size of him.

At Dashin Dogs 3rd July Tag came 2nd in grade 3 Agility and 2nd in grade 3 Jumping, then won the Small dog sprint, he really is coming on now.

High Peak Agility show on the 10th and 11th July, a fab show with Wispa gaining a 2nd place in grade 6 Agility and Tag getting another 2nd in grade 3 Agility.

At Oswestry Canine Show on Sunday 18th July Bodie won Best AVNSC Pastoral Puppy and went on to win the Puppy Pastoral Group.
Brother Todd was 2nd to Bodie in the AVNSC class, and was also 2nd in a big Puppy Stakes class later on, well done boys.
