Settling in

Well Ruger has well and truly settled in to life in Lancashire. He has done alot in the last few weeks and takes everything in his stride. He was very well behaved at the vets, and went to his first agility lesson last week (as a spectactor) and loved it, might have been the fuss and attention and lots of treats, as long as he is not scared by the noise etc I am happy. He has visited Liverpool and South Wales and enjoys exploring new places.

Mawgan and Zara are happy with him, Mawgan ignores him mostly but will protect him if she thinks that Zara is being too boisterous, Zara now loves him as he plays all the time.

Both Mawgan and Zara have been performing well at agility shows in the last few weeks, Zara is now starting to pick her feet up!!! At the April Gundog show Zara had a 3rd in graded 1 & 2 Agility and 5th in jumping, then at Tailwaggers she got 6th in introductory Jumping and Mawgan got 6th in Triple A Agility (not bad for a dog that pings her contacts!).

Last weekend was the WBSDS show at Newbury, I was so pleased with both dogs as they ran so well, Zara only knocked one pole in 10 runs getting 3 clears unfortunately no places but the classes were big, I was not so happy with her totally forgetting what weaves are though, she kept missing the entry, and weaves are usually her strongest point LOL. Mawgan ran one clear getting a 16th place in Combined 1-4 ABC Jumping, she was unlucky with quite a few 5 faults, but she normally gets lots of E's but only had 3 in 10 runs, so that's a big acheivement for her, she was listening to me most of the time.
