Border Collie Club of GB

Well thats our first show down, today we were at the BCC of GB show.

Heidi had some good runs today, in her jumping she just had a pole, in her C1-4 agility she did well until the weaves and then wouldn't do them and it went a bit downhill after that and she missed her contacts and in her last agility run she wasn't too bad, a bit mad but calmer than she can be!

Kody was a bit mixed, it was the first time Conor had ran him at all, in their first agility they had a few minor issues like taking the wrong jump and Kody getting a bit confused but nothing too bad. His second agility run wasn't until this afternoon but Kody completely lost all his confidence. I stood and qued with them but then moved away so I could get in position to take some photos and Kody really freaked out so I had to go back to him. His run wasn't great, he was very worried and Conor just couldn't get him to weave at all so he ended up bringing him out. We decided that I would give it  go running him in the jumping and he was much better, we got E'd for going in the wrong end of the tunnel and we missed out a couple of jumps due to my handling but all the way round I told him he was a good boy and praised him loads and he ran much better.


Megan started the day off well with a lovely clear in the G3 Jumping which resulted in 16th place so I was really chuffed with that. Her first agility was a real mess, lately she seems to be turning into a proper Mali, a bit mad at times and thats exactly what she was in this class! She missed her DW contact by miles, didn't weave first time and then flew over the A-Frame into a handstand (not sure if she got the contact or not!). Her second agility was better, she got the A-Frame as she is supposed to but still missed the dog walk so we know we still have work to do on that. We have had that little bark in 2 out of 3 classes today too, it makes me laugh so much when she does it and I think she actually surprises herself when it happens!

It's a few weeks now until our next show, but already I can't wait!
