Easter Eggs!

We spent Easter weekend on a sunny South of England Show ground and what a weekend it was. Tig's first run was the KC Novice Qualifier in which the top 2 dogs go through to the semi finals. I was a lovely course and i knew it would suit him if only i got it right.

It wasn't the neatest run as after the tunnel no words came out to send him on so he stuttered a bit until i managed to shout go on. I also almost over tightened him before jump 18 so that was slower than it could have been. When we finished he was leading the class however i had this niggling feeling that the small mistakes were going to cost me and i was right, he was pushed in to second place which meant he wouldn't move up to grade 6 however he was still in a qualifying position. It was a nerve racking hour with everything crossed hoping that he held it and he did a trophy, rosette, Easter Egg and a space at the Semi's were ours! Yippee. I can't wait to take him as i feel i learned so much taking Phoebe last year and now its time to really put that in to practice.

Saturday afternoon Tig went on to put in a very fast fun in Grade 4/5 Jumping which this time got him first place and another Easter Egg for Leslie!

On Sunday i was determined that he was going to go up to Grade 6 and to do so he needed a win in either agility or jumping, however i wanted it to be in agility if we could do it. Again he was fab and no errors from me this time, the video is below!
