No places for Khandi on the Saturday but I was pleased with her runs. On Sunday she got 2nd place in grade 6 agility (video below) How come you feel as if you're moving fast and then you look at the video and go eh! It's good when it's graded classes as Khandi usually will pick up a place if she goes clear, this way you can see how she is getting on against other dogs at her level. With the smalls there is a lot of combined classes so for Khandi usually it is combined graded 5-7, I think Grade 7 should compete against themselves as the dogs and handlers are mostly very experienced and agility champions (just my opinion).
I am always a bit more nervous when I know the judge - well in this agility class it was the Scottish Heelwork to Music Champion, I used to take Khandi to her classes - so no pressure then!
My mum is getting better at taking videos now, well...... except she is now banned from the zoom button - it went from far away to theirs my legs LOL! She did manage to get a couple of good videos this weekend, luckily the 2nd place one was one of them!
Khandi's confidence and speed in increasing - she is getting back to what she was like before she went into Grade 5 - I remember last year i had to send her ahead a lot as I couldn't keep up!
I just need to try and increase Khandi's weaving speed as we are loosing valuables seconds there. Her Dog Walk speed is increasing, so just need to push that also. I have been checking her times and this week in both agility and jumping her time was 10seconds faster which is great!
Khandi Grade 6 Agility 2nd Place
Khandi had a nice jumping round - I got wrong footed and as I cannot reverse behind Khandi it looks messy so quite a few seconds lost there!
