Quick post

Have been to 2 trials in the last few weeks. Some close runs, but just a Jumpers Q (finally!). Check out the runs on my YouTube account. Sorry for the poor update, promise it will start to get better when I have my own computer again...

Tinky's gone MAD

So... this is a little delayed, but 'Better late then never' as they say!

March 1st Tink and I went to Royackers, Tink got a Steeplechase Q and a Master Standard Q, earning her Master Agility Dog of Canada! I didn't get any vids, but Tink also ran her first 0 point snooker!

Dog sledding

Tink and I attended a dog sledding seminar Feb 6th, taught by Pam Casselman at SuperDog Central. It was a lot of fun. I think Tink and Kes would make a good 2 dog team, Kes can run wheel and Tink can be lead! One of the training exercises had Tink pulling a large bottle full of water through the snow, everytime it got stuck, even a little, Tink wouldn't try to pull it. By the end of the exercise, if Tink got going, she wouldn't stop, even if she ran past me and a tug! I think she didn't want to get stuck again! We got to hook up to a sled, and because Tink has some dog issues, we hooked her up in wheel, with Shep ahead for her to chase! I was able to ride, it was wicked cool! Tink didn't seem to be thrilled at first, but she did well.

First trial of the year (finally)

I had to miss the first trial I had signed up for this year, I was sick, and we had a major snowstorm. So last Sunday I attended the Rat Pack trial. I will post videos (yay for my new camera!) and let them 'speak' for themselves!

We also ran a Master Snooker... only a 1 pointer though!

Today Tink got to do some dog sledding! It was fun! Tell you more about it later!

Happy Birthday Kessie!!

It's ruff being a birthday girl!

Today is Kessie's first birthday! How quickly the year has flown by, yet I also can't believe it's only been one year! She is such a fun little girl, can't wait for the many more years yet to come!

Now showing...

Tink is now 1 of 12 dogs featuring on the HiQ offspring page! Check it out! Her full sister Mellie, right above her, looks so much like Tinky, the first time I saw her picture, I thought it was Tink!

Tink's first time out

This is Tink's very first time running at a trial. I ran her FEO at a lower jump height just to see how she'd do. I also think this was the first time she ever did agility anywhere else other then the Klubhouse. She was so loud! (Not to say she isn't now!) We were so choppy back then (not to say we are great now, hehe, but there certainly is a difference). I think this was Sept '06.

(If anybody can help me embed... that would be great... not so good at this computer crap... copy/pasted link, blogger is telling me 'Tag is not closed')
