Scrambles UKA Friday & Saturday.

Well Friday turned out well. Campbell has moved up to novice and proved he can do it with a 3rd in Novice Agility. It was a good run but we seem to have lost the stop on his contacts so i will have to train them for at least one run this weekend as we have worked so hard to get them i don't want to loose them now! He went clear in Beginners Steeplechase and was the fastest clear outside the placings.

Chico just had Nursery Agility and he did a lovely round clear and in the fastest time although they dont award placings for this class.

Saturday was a busy day for us. I ring managed all day and had loads of runs with the Pairs and Laps Knockout so things were a bit hectic. First up was the Novice Royal Canine Agility. It was a tricky course but i wasn't too worried. Campbell had a great start but missed a weave out as they were on very uneven ground and all out of line. He wasn't the only one to do this. I used the rest of the round to train our contacts. He stopped lovely on the dog walk and see-saw but not his A frame so i put him back on. Then we had the pairs with Chudley. I was to run the Agility part of the course and they were going to run the jumping part. Campbell started off well but then got confused and decided to do his own thing. Chudley got an E too so i didn't feel so bad!

Next was Novice Jumping. Quite a tricky course and Campbell had a few poles down. Beginners Steeplechase was next and we managed to get a pole down again but he did a lovely run apart from that. The Laps Circular Knockout was last and Campbell was great, really flowing and felt lovely to run. We got through the first round but not the second. The dog that beat us went on to win.

Chico had Beginners Steeplechase first and he felt great and was really moving but took about 4 poles down so i think i was rushing him too much. Nursery was last and he was a little star again going clear, stopping on all his contacts perfectly. I cant wait for him to turn 18 months he is going to be so much fun to run and doesn't stick to me like glue like Campbell does.
