Its been well over six months since I updated...we have had a very busy year, lots of changes and a new addition!
Meet Bridget - Stonedragon Blacktip Waves
Bridget is now 6 months old, she has settled in well and is a very lively puppy! She has so far passed her Puppy and Bronze Good Citizen Award and has also had a go at showing where she Won AVNSC Puppy and got Best AVNSC Puppy at Woolwich & Bexley Open show.
Chaos has had a really good year after a shaky start, he had some nervous issues over Eater which have gradually got better as the season has gone on, we have still had some 'silly' moments but it feels like we are getting there. Last weekend at Kelluki Show he won the Comb 4-7 Steeplechase so he is a good boy!
Heidi hasn't had the best competition season either, she started well but then had a nasty injury to her Paw which put her out of action for 2 months, then she came into season so that was another month off! She did have a 2nd and 3rd though at Dog Vegas in Thetford in the Summer so not all bad!
2016 is going to be a busy and exciting year for us, We have our first Kennel Club Open show on 21st-22nd May, plans are well underway and the schedule is out. We have a great club with members who are really keen to be involved so it should be a lot of fun!
Will do my best to keep this updated now...Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and New year :)
I was determined to keep our blog up to date a bit more this year, so far I've failed miserably! At the start of February I took Bridget to a companion show a few miles away to get in a bit of Crufts practice in. She was a good girl, each class had a different Judge so she got to have several different people go over her which is all good experience. In the Pedigree puppy class she got 3rd out of 6 puppies, in the Pedigree open class she was 2nd out of 16 dogs and in the Best Short Coated dog she was 2nd again out of about 14 dogs! She was such a good girl, loved meeting people and she stands really well. We are still having a battle with her tail, she keeps it lovely and low when she stands but when she moves its up and curly! I'm still training it but im not sure if will be sorted by Crufts as its not only 2 weeks away.
Yesterday I went to RVA show up in Cambridgeshire. It was really nice to be back at a show again and im looking forward to the start of the season. Heidi had a couple of nice runs with either a pole or a naughty tunnel but she also had a couple of naughty runs with broken waits! I think she will always be the same! Chaos did well, the G4-5 courses were quite tricky but he managed a 6th in the Jumping and we got all the way around the Agility but he ran past the last jump! He really wasn't keen on being indoors but h did get better as the day went on, im hoping once we get outside he will be a bit more relaxed as his winter training has gone so well and he is so confident in the field.
