The 2005 Agility Season Starts!

WHY Blog? Well why not? It seems to be a fine way of keeping a journal and lordy knows I need to keep track of Raven and Cypher's successes - they're like the little peanut bags they give you on those plane flights - can't savour them all at once cos then they'll all be gone and then forgotten and there I'll be sitting back wondering to myself - and I train my dogs so much for what was it again? This will be less of an introspective lets examine our deepest and most meaningful innards blog and more of the how does one train 2 Border Collies who seem infinitely more smarter than I ever give them credit for...blog. Meet Raven. That's her on the right --->
She was born on the 7th of March 2000 - just down the road from me. She has a very fancy pedigree name too - it's Australian Champion Rhonabwy (pronounced Ron-R-Be) Raven Ov Bear CDX ADX JDX ET. That Australian Champion bit means that she was awarded 100 points from lots of different judges who said she looks like a well put together Border Collie (if only they'd read her mind - good thing she didn't have to pass a Psych Evaluation don't think she would've made it!). She is sterilised now (which is easier for everyone concerned!) - the other initials on the end? well I'll save those for another post.

Trial #1: West Coast Rottie Club Agility and Jumping Trial January 28th - Well first trial of the year and the break from training has not done us a world of good unfortunately! No clear runs and the bar knocking issue is raising it's ugly head again!
