Dog sport weekend 29.-30.6.2013

You know the feeling sometimes ( all the time ) when you stop and wonder why you book yourself so busy during beautiful summer weekends..... The answer why bother comes when it's done you feel exhausted and beaten but my gosh, so thrilled and proud and happy. Yes, all that and more!

We had a busy weekend, doing variety of dog sports and had fun!

Early on Saturday morning Eva and I woke up to a cloudy and a bit rainy day and headed off to agility competition, of course!

We had booked 3 starts, 2 agility and 1 jump course and yep, I can tell you that at least the audience got a full amount of spaniel fun!

But no seriously, despite some not-so-proud-of-my-spaniel moments there was a heck of lot super work there too! And I have to remind myself that this was Eva's third competition ever, and we had a break of 1,5 months just before this!

Let's start with the last two starts, disqualified was our theme for those. And both times our Achilles heel was  the weave poles.... A bit long sending from a jump to weave poles... and that was it, nose to the ground and off she went..... Aaaargh. But her pace was great ( excluding the lap/s of honour she so gracefully - butt to ground and full speed - took ), no faults in any other obstacles, see-saws were all done correctly and quite fast, all contacts were perfect... so what can I even complain..... LOL.

The first start was just super! Even though got 5 faults from the weave poles ( she stopped in the middle and moved her front legs as if she was saying nhjaa, let's got his way... but she recovered and did continue all the way to the end ) and a very small overtime penalty too ( those ***** weave poles..... ), she finished with 7,18 faults and was THIRD overall!!!! Way to go Eva <3

HAPPY! :)

On Sunday Outi and I packed our car and took a trip to Tuusula all breeds show.

Such a lovely day, thank you all dear friends for sharing this day with us! And thank you to our judge mrs Montford for appreciating the quality our junior possess!
