Oh wow what a cutie! He looks like a little polar bear :D Congratulations CW EW! Guessing he is a Samoyed?

No she looked puny and sissy next to all those border collies and shelties in the class :laugh: They were massive! And she was cold so looked particularly pathetic most of the time :laugh: There was an italian greyhound though so she wasn't the puniest sissiest looking I guess :laugh:

I'm sure they were all thinking that on the day too "How did we get beaten by that puny sissy looking thing??"

:laugh: Yes, we return to training tonight and I daresay Trixie will be a crazed mental monster and people will look at her and go "Really? That dog is a National champion???"

RFT Black SBTs are actually brindle, if you look very closely you will see some brindle stripes on them This is not a terrier thing, there are plenty of terriers with a recall, and plenty of other breeds without one

Congratulations Weasels :thumbsup:

Aww good to hear Rosie is doing a bit better now, and all the other broken DOL dogs!

I'll update mine since we're at the halfway point! Kyzer is temporarily retired from agility, he isn't living with me at the moment due to relationship breakup, but when I get him back I hope to improve his general outlook on life and trial him again

Would have been mine if it was :D She was the only Manchester in attendance

My general rule is if I am running next to a jump/ line of jumps I shouldn't have to say anything and she should take them but I do use a verbal Hup to support jumps if I am slowing down or I think she won't naturally take it, or I say go go go and run flat out if I want her to keep going ahead on a line of jumps.

Awww thanks Joelle :D Toller puppies are ridiculously cute, so cute that they should be illegal I reckon :laugh:

Nina is just too cute! Sorry to hear about Rommi, poor girlie. Jeez bit nippy this morning Had to do a quick drive at 6am and it was 2 degrees and my windscreen was covered in ice

Well done on your great results RnH!! And I can't believe it's been a year already

Oh how exciting! Not necessarily a beginning book but if you can get your hands on Alphabet Drills it has a lot of small exercises, some can be set up at home, and they really helped patch up some holes in my training. There is a book called Agility Right From The Start which I have heard people say is good - haven't read it though.

Mine had two pink coats on most of the time :laugh: There were a few ETTs around too (which are basically a mini version of a Mannie)

Well she's a Masters dog now :bolt: There's no such thing as TMI on a dog forum in regards to dog bowel movements!! Yeah, but combined is a whole new level :laugh:

Wow Shelby, so impressive!

Aww thanks CC, yes surprisingly it was still there :laugh: I sure could! Lol it will have to be serious cake I reckon. I was thinking I'd be over anything dog related by now and would have a month off but it's the opposite! I am feeling so motivated after watching so many great dogs I want to get to work, but I'll let Trixie have the week off at least. Oh TMI! lol

Yep Diva is pretty special! Her pups are all 19 months old now and three of them went over for the nationals too!

Hahahah awww you guys are too cute. Surprisingly I didn't cry - which is unusual for me :laugh: Hmmm uh oh

Hmmm hopefully Ruby is clever enough to show Trixie how to open the zip :laugh:

Yep Oh well at least I won't need my suitcase for a while

Aww thanks ST, yes I'm very proud of Trixie, her improvement in confidence over the week was great, she never gave up even when she was scared by loud noises. And I'm proud of myself for not handling like an idiot for a change I've just remembered that I left a pig's ear in the front pocket of my suitcase, which is sitting on the floor at home. I really hope Trixie doesn't chew her way through to get to it!

Well you'd better hurry :laugh:

She would be fine I reckon - you saw Trixie spring out of her crate last night, if she can do it Pippa could!
