August 2008 part one

First we have sunshine, then thunder storms and even more rain, I even had fog the other day driving to work.......it's August - where is the summer.
As August is such a busy month competing, and we have lots of pictures to share with you, I am going to split August in two halves, so here is the begining of August and I will report on the latter part of August later.

Snoop at Aylesbury

Snoop's Rosettes


Snoop gained a 6th, an 8th, a 15th, an 18th, a 21st, a 25th and Six Clear rounds at Aylesbury and Kennel Club Festival Agility Shows. Snoop is also starting to get placed in grade 3-5 classes, he just keeps getting better and better.

July 2008

Well the summer is finally here, though the weather can't make up it's mind.

Snoop's Rosettes

Snoop acheived a 1st, a 6th, a 11th, a 12th, a 13th, a 23rd and Four clear rounds at Wellingbury, Bretford and Caerphilly Agility Shows. Snoop has been having some issues with his weaves, with his increased speed Snoop has forgotten to slow down for them hence missing his entry, but we think we have solved it, and with the result this month, i think we have. What an amazing round Snoop did in his Agility at Bretford, this wins him into Grade 4, we are so proud of him. He is really racing around the courses now

Dre's Rosettes

Dre Acheived a 12th and three clear rounds at Wellingbury, Bretford and Caerphilly Agility Shows, Dre's training is coming along very well, just need him to work out when to take off for the jumps when running at full speed, this will only come with experience. Dre does love doing agility. Had a look at one of his times in a class that Snoop had also ran at Wellingbury, Dre was only 0.5 seconds behind Snoop and Dre hasn't really reached the speed he can potentially do - best get my running shoes on! At Bretford he ran 0.5 seconds behind Snoop (again) but then had to do a run off with another dog for 12th and 13th place. His time in the run off was actually 0.5 seconds faster than Snoop's, also winning the run off. This made Dre win the 12th in the same class Snoop got 7th. How amazing is that, only his third show and fourth clear round and already getting into the placings.
