Dog Vegas ran an extra show on the last weekend in April 2013. I had booked in not knowing that this would be Dylan's first competition after his four weeks rest due to my worry over his hips. He seemed fit and we were travelling with Rachel & Obi and meeting up with Jo and Paul Harker and their dogs Darcey, Freddie & Jasper.
Rachel and I had decided to run the Jewlwick Pairs qualifier together which was the Saturday. It was also our first show where we were actually competing against each other. I was so excited. It was Rachel's last show at Grade 6 having won out at a previous show into Grade 7 (clever clever!)

Graded 6/7 Jumping on Sat 27th April 2013
| The best result I got was second in the graded jumping run shown left, losing to Rachel & Obi by 0.4secs! It was a hard course to remember, but fun to get right. I was so pleased. We completed it in 38.440s The pairs was really fun. Rachel ran first and competed the course with a clear. I ran next and really enjoyed the flow of the run, getting a great dog walk contact and ran over the line almost into the fence behind!! Dylan stopped at his lead giving me the dirtiest look!! It was so funny. Between us our time was 62.372s and we were lying in third place after two large pairs, with smalls still to run. I think both Rachel & I were amazed to retain third place and have qualified for the final in July. |
It was great fun watching Rachel & Obi, Jo and Darcey and Jo and Freddie complete too. We had a lovely evening at the pub (with the dogs) eating a rather delicious meal. All in all a fab weekend. Glad to be back in the swing it it all.
