Well today is BUDS 2nd Birthday and how did we spend it? Ummmm...............

Moaning at the rain that called off our celebratory Open Day :-(

So we had to cancel until Sunday 20th May, which still wasn't great weather wise but at least it wasn't raining! A good turn out considering and thank you to all our members who supported us!

 
These are the results of our fun agility competition at the end of the day;

1st is Chloe & Poppy, 2nd is Marilyn & Alfie, 3rd is Sonya & Popsie, 4th is Isobel & Sasha.
A special rosette was awarded to Sally-Anne & Skye as I let them have a go for a laugh but, as Skye's an expert, it really didn't seem fair to the other competitors, but Sally-Anne was happy.

Well done to Chloe on getting a clear, text book round for Poppy.
And a final special mention to Sonya who got Popsie round by never giving up encouraging him, I think that video will be one to treasure!

Thanks again everyone xxx

Today we went to the "Spring At Shuttleworth" Show and Hayley had 3 out of 4 clears with Skye and only 5 faults on her 4th run.

I also let her run Buddy in one of our classes (as I felt ill) and they went clear - woop woop! They didn't get placed but it was grade 1-7.

Hayley got an 11th Place in her agility class with Skye too!
Buddy and I had 3 runs, got eliminated twice (my fault entirely) then a 5 faults in the 1-3 agility class which had a couple of nasty traps. We didn't fall into them but he hopped off the dogwalk, still very pleased with him though and our time will come :-)

Here is Hayley and Skye's final run in the Grade 1-3 Agility Class, she's looking a bit tired now bless her, its a long day for everyone.

Well what an Easter Holiday its been so far. We had a Saturday morning training session on Saturday 31st March before my dogs left with Hubby to go to Wales with my Girls too and left me to take a couple of lessons. It felt weird being left behind, especially without the dogs as its quite isolated up my field.

After two hours of lessons and packing away, my Mum came to pick me up - Good Old Mum!! She was driving us to Wales to go and see my Brother who moved there a couple of years ago.

We loaded the car with luggage and set off to Swansea (well acutally The Mumbles as I thought it would suit the dogs better!)

We were staying in a Cottage just off the Main Street, by the time we arrived the dogs had been walked and fed and the men were up for a pint (or 10)!

The following day my Brother took us on a tour of the Gower Pininsula which is outstandingly beautiful and very dog friendly. Hayley took some photos when we stopped in the middle of nowhere, honestly you couldn't make this stuff up.

And did the dogs get in on the action - oh yes!
