Agility at Crufts

Oooh, been glued to it today.

As a very novice agility person, with a very gobby dog, I really enjoyed it! I love watching the really good ones, but I also love watching the gobby dogs, and the ones that go wrong! (It gives me hope!)

I also was really impressed with the "wait" start, and the toys at the end

It was a really tricksy course wasn't it?

Even caught out the lady with an agility champion dog as her dog went the wrong way and got eliminated

I liked the 11 year old Apricot toy Poodle in the mini agility size.

I felt so sorry for the handler with the Patterdale/Collie who stopped halfway round to have a poop! (the dog not the handler I mean!) I think it must have been the terrier side of him that made him behave like this!

I watched what they showed on tv from yesterday & the chinese one was really vocal & quick.

Also the flyball - but that gives me butterflies at the speed!

That agility and flyball were amazing I was glued to it last night and will be again to the programme tonight - my OH will just have to put up with us being in separate rooms again
I was so impressed with the dog that dropped the ball on his run back while going flat out but managed to pick it up again - he hardly faltered in his speed

I've not seen a massive amount of the agility this year but have enjoyed what I have seen.

Yes, I really felt for her, our dogs really know how to humiliate us don't they It's a shame because he was doing well on the course.
