Thames Show at Newbury

15/6/2015

0 Comments

 
I decided to do a 2 day show in June in the hope that having 2 consecutive days of competing would help to consolidate the work I've been doing with Pepper to make sure that she has good, solid contacts.

We arrived at Newbury showground on Friday night around 7pm and my lovely friends from Paws at Play had reserved me a camping spot so that we were all together.  I set about building my pet garden and was incredibly blessed to have help from Sid which meant that we were all finished by 8.15pm in time for a couple of drinks before bed.

The show was huge with 13 rings - there were Olympia and Crufts qualifiers taking place over the weekend so all the top handlers were out in force and as a result our classes were much larger than normal.

On Saturday Pepper had a Combined G1-4 Jumping, Graded 3 & 4 Agility and Combined 3-5 Agility, and Ruby was making her KC debut in the Anysize Jumping.

Pepper was fantastic and seems to really be getting the idea of what she is supposed to be doing - I held all of the contacts in our agility runs to be on the safe side!  We finished with a 10th in the 3-5 Agility, 5th in the 1-4 Jumping and a lovely clear in the graded 3 & 4 Agility.  Ruby was equally fantastic going clear in her Anysize Jumping and getting her first ever KC rosette.

I was hoping that the Sunday would be equally successful but it ended up being a strange day where we had faults or E's for all of our runs, but actually I was much happier with the runs than I had been on the Saturday.  Pepper seemed faster and was responding really well to me, except in the last run of the day which was very late and frankly, I had had enough by then too!!  Ruby was entered in the Combined G1-4 Jumping and did a fantastic run which included getting her weave entry!

So overall it was a lovely weekend, with lovely people, some good work from both of the girls and a lot of training points to take away.

Here they are with their rosettes and some lovely pictures that the official photographer got of Pepper:
