Bryn at Lune Valley


Well the boy done good! Despite being held on the contacts for at least 4 seconds for each one, he managed 2 Clear Rounds in Grade 3 and Grade 1 to 3 Agility inside the time set. So, he now has his first rosettes from a KC show. What a good boy!

Ireland 2008


We had another wonderful visit to Ireland at the beginning of June. We started at the IKC show in Dublin, then competed for 2 days at Athy to the south of Dublin, then had a day's training near Carlow, before moving up to Northern Ireland for Lisburn and Castlereagh shows the next weekend. Bryn enjoyed himself (!) and learned how to leave the wait on the start line to go and visit the judge - doh!!
Amber came home with no less than 6 rosettes, and narrowly missed winning one of her classes in the North - if only! But she was tiring by then from all the travel and the immense heat.
Yet again my friends from the south made me feel like a member of the family, and I was so sad to leave them to come home. I can't wait to see them all again.
