Dog Vegas Sat 22nd Jan

Our first show of the year was really looking forward to it, went with no expectations as we haven't done any training since Nov as can't get in our field :( Just going to make Bella smile. Had to wait quite a while for our first run of the day, Jumping was set for grade 1, 2 and 3 and was quite twisty but good course for us as really worked us well. After queuing for an age we flew round, 5f for a pole down as I turned a bit too quick but really pleased as we worked as a team. Got back in the queue for 2nd run, went much quicker and I knew what I had to do just hang that corner. She ran like a dream and went clear I was so pleased she really worked hard and deserved to go clear :D I'm always wishing we could go clear more often but to be honest it would maybe spoil it as those time we do I will always remember. Next was a very straight up and down agility course we never do well as either we miss contacts or shes too speedy and I can't keep up. First run 5f on A-Frame so I pushed her hard full speed down the final line and she flew and kept all the poles up big bonus. Second run I hung back for the contact which she got but then I was too far behind for the straight line so she looked back for me and pulled off to a jump so we where e'd lol Ah well we know what courses we like ;) Last run was helter skelter we got 5R for hesitation on a jump as I wasn't clear enough (I was so tired I forgot how long the days are lol) but the rest of the run was ace we even had a tunnel pull off which for Bella is sometimes far too tempting to listen. Very pleased with the day, so pleased she went clear but best of all was only 1 pole down (and that was due to me) so maybe the grid work is paying off we shall see. Next week training session at Weatherby on Sat and NAWS on Sun.
