Dog Vegas - 21st January

First time back at this venue since the start of 2011 I like the massive exercise field but always find the walkway in a tad stressful for Bells but we are coming to the March KC show so wanted to give her a could of shows to get used to the noise and surface she was running on.
First run of the day was jumping, dead easy course as its an unaffiliated show the classes are combined so decided we would practise the waits again as thats our winter mission. Well Bella was obviously far to excited to be there as put her in a stay walk away and she took the first jump!!! so I calmly took her back and set her up again walk away and she flew going clear but too late E'd gah!!! I knew 2nd attempt would be too much speed as a fast course and right had two poles down oppsie :)
Next was agility Paul Sensky had set up a tricky but nice comb 5,6,7 course the start was hard for us jump, a frame then into the wrong end of the tunnel and right hand weaves so I set her up and walked to the end of the A-Frame off she flew and I got her in woop. We kept working it, she flew in the the right hand weaves hurray!!! and went clear not the quickest (47 sec) by far as we had some wide corners but that fact we got round was brilliant. I'd said if we went clear we wouldn't run the 2nd attempt but I enjoyed it the first time so much didn't want to pass up the opportunity to have a go at it again (just to convince myself it wasn't a fluke lol). I think it muct be the work she flew and was defiantly loads fast (32 sec!!) we where outside the placings but I didn't care as it was just great working with her.
We finished the day off with a fast blast around the helter skelter going clear.
Honey was great first proper runs since she hurt her leg and thank goodness she was fine :D She went to watch in the main arena but was terrified by this dog............A PAPAILLION lol bless her of all the dogs there it had to be the smallest. She was really good around the queues even did a bit of heal work with her down the edge when the dogs where running :D
Sally & Kandy where running well too 7th for them in the helter skelter but confidence levels are rising :D a few more of these before the KC summer season starts will do wonders.

Next week its to Hare N Hounds Richmond :D
