SUPA Dogs 27-30th May 2007
Well this was our first trip to the SUPA Dogs competition down in Kent and well it was an adventure and a half. Apart from the terrible weather and the lack of provisions we had a great weeks worth of agility. Mohican was entering his first grade 4 competitions so we had a lot to think about. On Sunday we started carefully getting clear rounds in the 4-5 jumping and a 25th in the 4-5 Agility and a 13th in the 3-5 Jumping. The courses were very hard and a real challenge to run.
On the Monday unfortunately the rain came down and the agility rings were more of a mud ring. Needless to say we carried on, carefully, and pulled off a 3rd in the 3-5 Agility and a 15th in the 4-5 agility. On Tuesday a very tired Mohican and me put in a great effort in the rain once again and pulled off a 15th in the 4-5 agility and a clear round in the 4/5 jumping.

Overall this was a great test for Mohican and I. I always new that my dog could compete with the best of the agility world and at SUPA dogs he had a chance to show his true talent. Once again he was fantastic a really supa star.

Kernow K9 - Waddebridge, Cornwall. 6-7th April 2007

Well this was a really excellent competition, I would recommend it to anyone. We had everything, the sun, the sea and the agility. What more can you ask for. It was also a great opportunity for my family, down in Cornwall to see Mohican in action. And see him in action they did.

This was our first competition of the year and his first in Grade 3 (Graduate level). We had worked really hard on the contacts over the winter so I was really hoping to see excellent results. Well in true Mohican Madness style he shot around his first Agility course in 27.30secs with stunning contacts that even took my breath away. So his first Agility run of the year won him 1st prize. I think he was showing off to his Granny and Grandad personally. The weekend just got better and better. We finished with another 3rd place in Agility and a 5th in Jumping. After that we all went for a deserved swim in the Sea at Rock.

A fantastic start to the year. The Kukura magic is certainly working.

P.S. Watch out for 'One in a Million'... coming soon!!!
