Emma getting her degree
Sorry, the other one is about the dogs.
When you start competing you need to get your dog measured Toby came in as 'Standard' by 5mm this was at 18 months. You also need to get them re measures some time after they are 2 years old.
This time he came in at maxi by 5mm, this has taken the jump hight from 550mm to 650mm, and running against more dogs.
Back in May we took Charlie & Toby to an agility show in about 2 hours away. We were asked if we could go by a friend of ours who was judging there.
I had been running Toby for the past year or so and we had both been improving. However at any shows we had always had faults.
This show was his first at Maxi and things were going the same a usual, fences down. One of the events is called 'Gamblers', in this you pick your own course and each obsticle is given a different points value. You have to get the maximum points in an allotted time. At the end of the time you hava a set of obsticles to complete called 'The gamble'. This gamble at the end usually has two different ways to do it, giving you different points.
What I am really proud of is that we completed the course that I wanted to do, in the time specified, and then completed the high point gamble as well
To top it all, when the results came out, we came first so got a piece of glass as well.
