Bromsgrove Update



Well we all had a brilliant time at Bromsgrove, the weather has delightful and the company even better. Jess and Katheryn came away with another 2 clear rounds, the placings are only a short way off now, we have been saying for a while what a lovely consistant little dog she is and yet again she has proved us correct. Clare and Charlie had a clear round and a 10th place, he is such a deceptive dog, in the ring he looks quite slow compared to the collies but he has such length of stride he is able to cover so much ground even if he does make his mum work for every step of the way! and the lovely Chappie had a clear in alsorts.

Both Amy and Ellen had slightly less success and had a few near misses between them, I think Dylan and Hamish must have had one too many the night before as neither of them were really on form. Anne and Crafty are really coming on and Anne's handling improves each time I see her, Crafty continues to test Anne at every opportunity but with a bit of Obedience help over the winter I think next season will give them both the results they are looking for. And lastly Maisy!! well what can I say - I think it's fair to say i saw a few glimpses of hope, we actually had some control, I think bystanders may have argued with that statement but all those that know us agreed it to be true so I am going to cling onto that..... she was faced with a wall and a gate in her jumping class, lots of dogs were spooking but she just took them in her stride - she's still the best dog in the world, good job shes cute!! and lastly baby Summer was measured She's a large dog, well over the midi height which is good news as those midi courses are a bit tricky!!
