This weekend I travelled to Christchurch for the CCOC agility show. CCOC is one of the smallest agility clubs in the South Island, but I was really impressed with their cheerful, hard-working members. Lots of other folk stepped in to help when needed, and the show ran smoothly and finished at a very respectable time each day.
Rik and I had our best agility day of the year yesterday, with three awesome switched-on runs where we were connected nearly all the way around the course. We came away with a clear round and 2nd place in Intermediate, a pesky knocked rail and 5th place in Novice, and a really beautiful Jumpers B run which sadly went a bit awry at the end. A lot of dogs were caught out by off-course jumps at the start of the Intermediate course, so I was really grateful for Rik’s start-line wait.
Today we were less switched on, but I was very pleased with Rik’s send to the backside hurdle in Jumpers B, something that we struggled with at a recent show.
