Wednesday was Northiwich Canine Society's limited show and Milo, Lily and Rosie were all entered. Milo won first in both Minor Puppy Dog and Special Yearling Utility.
Lily got second in Minor Puppy Bitch and Special yearling Pastoral. And last but not least Rosie got Seconds in Puppy Bitch and Open Pastoral.
Then on Friday it was the Begin to Win club competition for beginner dogs. I entered Daisy for the first time and she was absolutely wonderful getting first in Small-Medium agility and being beaten into second place in Small-Medium jumping by only 2 tenths of a second. What is really good is that she is really starting to listen to me rather than just running around the course on her own. She is a dog that does think she knows best and often doesn't see why she should do what I want. Bostons are great fun to live with but Malinois are much easier to train.
After the competition had finished I took Lily in and had a play with her around the equipment. She really blasts through the tunnels now and comes out for her toy. I put some jumps down to the very lowest height and practiced sending her over them and calling her over them. She had a lovely time doing this. I think she is going to be much faster than her mum but hopefully she will have her mums sensitivity so won't go galloping through the jumps sending poles flying like Saffy does.
Ruby and Saffy competed at the gundog agility competition this weekend. I know they are not gundogs but they also let non gundogs in too. Ruby got two clear rounds and the only times she didn't go clear were down to me either losing my way or dithering about which way to go.
And now for the really AMAZING news. SAFFY GOT A CLEAR ROUND!! for only the third time ever in her life and the first time in competition. And not only that she came Third in the Anything But a Gundog class beating Ruby into fourth place! I always knew she would do it one day.
