FAIR CITY (50th Anniversary) AGILITY SHOW 14 & 15 MAY 2011

We were off to Perth this weekend to compete at Fair City. I love this competition and where it is held (Scone Palace, grounds). The weather was pretty mixed although the wind kept the rain away, we also had bursts of sunshine. It was warmer on the Sunday (even though it was more overcast) Saturday was pretty cold but more sunshine.

This was Khandi's first Grade 6 competition. She had her "Diva" moments on the Saturday! On Sunday she had kicked back into steady Khandi, her speed had increased, confidence and she was enjoying it. No rosettes for Khandi this weekend, need to get her speed up!

This was Ellie's come back show! I was terrifed to run her but she has been okay running about like a looney so I had to just go for it with her. She ran all her runs brilliantly, her speed was super, she seemded to have forgot how to weave LOL! No too worry I was very very pleased and happy with her! We had a rerun as the timer didn't go off - I ran it straight away as I had another class to walk (which was walking). Well when I go to the last three jumps my legs started to go I had send Ellie away on her on LOL clever girl did :). After we ran the next class, i took her aside gave her a treat, when we walked away she pulled her leg up about three times :( then it settled down. My heart sunk! We got back to the B&B and she seemed okay, then she was on three legs for a few minutes then fine. I rested her the rest of the night. I decided to rest her on the Sunday. There has been no lamess since about 8pm on Saturday until today (Monday 16 May) she's pulled it up a couple of time. We are off to the Physiotherapist this evening so we'll see what she says. Looks like Ellie is back to rest for a good few weeks. As long as my dog can go her walks and play I happy, if she is able to do agility then that's a bonous! Ellie loves agility and it would break my heart if that was her finished before she's started.

Here are some pictures and videos.

  1. Love those photos of Khandi. She is a clever girl, rosettes are on their way ...

    Ellie is looking very good, give her time and she will be brilliant :)

    Well done! Don't worry too much about her leg, sometimes we got into a panic mode when we see them lifting a paw. She will be alright x
