TAG

Nice show, I've not done TAG before, don't know why as it's not too far, well 2 hours away.
The ground was muddy, but the rings had been moved outside the main arena which was great as there was loads of space
I helped on a ring most of the day with Deb and Dani, not many helpers that day :(

Ruger ran his first agility run, I was really pleased as I thought it was a clear, judge was clapping as we left the ring and a few people said Well Done, turns out he had 5f for the dogwalk contact, thought he had it, as he did stop but obviously just missed it!
He did manage a clear in the next agility class, not placed but I held him on the contacts, and he had 5f at the weaves in his other agility class with excellent contacts, so I think we are making progress. Both his jumping classes were tough, expected in 3-5 but not in 1-3. In the 3-5 he was brill and stayed, which I must admit threw me a little, but he worked the tight bit like a professional, really pleased, but the temptation to go in the tunnel instead of weaves was too much. In the 1-3 I overworked him, Ruger knew what I wanted, but the course was just one pull through too many, not a good confidence building course, tried it in training which was good, but not in competition at this level :( I was very pleased with his performance all day, he was a well behaved little Mali.

Zara did some lovely work, especially in the 4-5 Agility, fab run but knocked the last pole, aaarrrggghh not done that for a while. No clears today, but she enjoyed her 3 runs :)

Must go back to TAG, lovely show everyone friendly and a good atmosphere
