UKA Waverunners Agility Show

This weekend i had entered Campbell in his first UK agility show. He had 4 runs on Saturday and 5 runs on Sunday. On Saturday we got 5F in the jumping. We had a lovely round in the agility and Campbell got all his contacts although they are still a little slow so i really need to work on them more and ended up 5th. We went clear in the steeplechase but were just not quick enough for a place and had a go at the 'Power and Speed' class. I don't normally like these special type classes as i don't usually have a clue what i am meant to be doing and tend to take it all a bit to seriously. The power and speed class is designed in two parts, the first is the power section and not timed and is made up of the contact equipment, long jump & spread jump. If you go clear in that you go straight onto the speed part which is timed and made up of jumps and tunnels. Campbell did a lovely power section and flew round the speed section and we came 3rd.

Sunday we had Jumping where we got E'd (i blame the nasty tunnel trap :-P) got 10f in the steeplechase.... not really sure what went wrong, i guess one of us wasn't paying attention! Had a fantastic round in the agility and bettered our place yesterday to come 3rd. We paired up with a lovely lady and her bitch for the pairs class but BOTH of us managed to get E'd! I stupidly ran round with my lead in my hand... don't know why i didn't leave it at the start... but would have got E'd anyway as our round was rubbish. The finally we had the 'Time, Fault and Out' class. This was an agility class where you have to keep going until you either make a mistake or run out of time. We were given 55 seconds and Campbell didn't put a paw wrong so we managed to get round one and a half times before we ran out of time and WON!!! This is campbells first 1st so i was so excited and even worse i ran right at the start of the class so had to watch everyone else run to see if they beat us.

We only need 4 more points in agility now to go up a level, we should easily get these at our next show and if we get them in the first day of a two day show have to move up on the second day.
