It really is tedious sometimes, attempting to elicit a straight answer from debates on email lists. When the issue of the slats being removed came up at the last ANKC rules review I really had no feelings one way or the other. I figured if they were off or on, it really didn't matter to …

Getting Ready for Nationals
Took some photos today of some of the conditioning work I do with Raven and Cypher to get them at their peak fitness for the Nationals coming up in Adelaide, May 4th,5th and 6th.Raven can't swim quite as fast as Cypher but she gets a head start by doing a launch off the edge rather …
Spryte at 8 Months
Spryte is growing up, albeit at her own pace, she is still quite small and is very possibly going to be a 400 height class agility dog. The photos below taken today after a bath, in the backyard.From this at 11.5 weeks old to...this at 8 months! Now I know where all that food went....Starting …
Gozzy Trial March 2007
It was a good night all round for us with only one frustrating 3 seconds out of my 6 runs with my two BCs. I ran another Rhonabwy BC tonight, a boy called Dexter for his first time in Excellent Jumping and he ran beautifully for me right up until I got lost! We lost …

I discovered she has uploaded quite a number of videos since the last time I visited and I was thoroughly entertained and mesmerised by them all. Especially the one of her 11 month old Border Collie Bu …
Facelift….RSS
No, not for me....for the blog. That Green was starting to invoke some feelings in me, none of them good....I guess it was a green colour that loses its appeal after a while. So here we are with a new layout. By the way I deleted my last post re subscribing via email (I discovered …
Greg Derrett…Chapter 4
Contacts! So this session was always going to be interesting to find out Greg's method for his contact training. Before he started in on it he tested all of us who had working spots to see what we were doing. There were 12 of us again and most of us had a form of two …
