Saturday was an early start off to the teams event. Looking specky in our new shirts team Xtreme was ready to take on the rest.
Selby joined Maverick, Phoenix and Chuckles to compete in both Jumping and Agility. Phoenix got us off to a great start with a clear round in jumping (no pressure on the rest of us)All the dogs had pretty good runs but sadly not good enough tho place.
In the Agility comp none of the dogs ran clear, but with only 6 faults between them all we were amazed to find we had placed 3rd!! - Not bad for a bunch of newbies taking on far more experienced teams :)
I accidentally entered Open Jumping so we gave that a go in the afternoon. Sadly I did a front cross that just kept crossing (yep - a very dodgy move) This resulted in Selby taking the spread from the side and running through it like a channel. The crowd thought it was really funny, I was just plain embarrassed! Despite my dodgy handling I was really happy with the way Selby ran - she did go where I sent her after all!
Saturday was the Obedience trial so Selby had a day off while I went along to watch and see what obedience was all about - maybe one day we will give it a go (maybe).
Back again yesterday for Agility and Jumping. Novice agility started really well but Selby sadly took a wrong entry into the tunnel and then blew her contacts - something we really need to fix soon. Excellent jumping was also a really good run with just 1 bar and deciding not to take one jump. In both runs Selby had great drive and her run home in the jumping was great so I am really happy with how she is going especially as we nearly had to pull out of the trial as she was lame a couple of weeks ago.Back next Saturday for the games and hopefully a clear round!
