A Bit Behind With The Blog!

It's been ages since I have updated our blog, I didnt think we had been up to much but thinking back I guess we have done a bit.

We went to Dog Vegas in November as I was judging, It was a very cold and muddy day, I always forget just how muddy Arena UK gets! I was judging in the afternoon. I hadn't really realised where the classes were being held but the rings were much smaller and my courses didn't fit in so had to improvise! It went well though. We took Chaos with us for a day of socialising, he was a very good boy, just walking around, he didn't want to say hello to people just quite happy minding his own business which I certainly don't mind.

On the Sunday we went over to Jo's for some training and lunch. It was a really nice day, we did jumping Grids in the morning, something Heidi needs to work on and then some courses in the afternoon. Lots to train over the winter with her! Chaos and Brenda came along too for some socailising, think they both enjoyed themselves :)

We haven't managed a great deal of agility training since then, It has been so wet here and the river got very full outside the house, we did get a little bit worried! We have managed a little bit of grid work as it only takes a few mins and Heidi has already improved. I have been doing it with Brenda as well although her training seems to have ground to a halt as well! Last week I caught the virus that has been going around so was home ill for a good few days, hopefully after Christmas we will get back into it.

We have an extra dog staying here at the moment, she is another Mali named Shelly. She is staying here until the end of January while she gets trained as a working dog, then she will go off with her new handler. Chaos loves her, they play constantly if they are together. Seems we have a house full at the moment!

Also a massive well done has to go to Chaos' littermates. 2 brothers Basil and Cypher and 2 sisters Cedar (not sure of the other ones name) all qualified for Crufts at the weekend at LKA so well done!
