Selby Meets the Sheep and Excellent Agility
After finally finishing my teaching prac a couple of weeks ago we headed to Albany for the agility trial there and a weeks holiday. (Thankfully we had the best holiday as the trial is hardly worth mentioning)
All the dogs had the best time as we stayed on a farm with a lovely yard and went for many walks discovering the beaches of Albany and Denmark.
On the way home we stopped off at a friends farm in Kojonup for a night. They had 8 4 week old puppies which were just lovely to play with (I wanted to sneak 1 home with me) They were all so cute!
Selby's highlight of the visit was getting to meet the sheep! She has never seen sheep before so I was curious as to how she would react - as you'll see in the video she had a ball. I totally amazed me that she knew what to do (kind of) purely by natural instinct. I don't know a lot about sheep herding but apparently it was not bad for a first effort. Selby couldn't get enough of it and would have loved to have had another go, but we had a long drive and a trial to get home to and I didn't want her to be exhausted before we got there.
After arriving home via a Boddington to see an old student of mine (so great to catch up with him and his family) we quickly unpacked and then repacked the car and headed off again to a trial. I was amazed at how well Selby ran in both Excellent Agility and Excellent Jumping (the Open Agility was ok but she decided she had done enough contacts for 1 day). The night got off to a great start with our 1st pass in Excellent Agility on just our 3rd attempt Yay Selby! We finished 1st in 500and 2nd overall. In Jumping just 1 bar came down :( but it was such a smooth run and I enjoyed both runs so much.
