UKA Agility, Wadebridge, Cornwall. Saturday 16th August 2009.

For one reason and another this was the first time Mohican and I had competed since Milton Keynes last year. I have to admit I was quite nervous as we had done very little training this year. Coupled with the fact that I had entered my other dog One in a Million for her first competition and the that we were on holiday, I wasn't sure what to expect. But true to Mohicans form the little boy pulled it of again. The first run of the day was a Novice jumping run and had some tricky sequences to negotiate. As a handler very much out of practice I was banking on Mohicans skill to get through. Needless to say the boy did good and pulled off a blinding round, taking 1st place with 3 seconds to spare.

After making the decision not to compete this year and resting my body and Mohicans, I just couldn't resist the competition on my door step. So just for the hell of it I entered. Given the fact that we had done no practice throughtout the year I was there just for fun. Needless to say that wasn't how Mohican saw it. After and fun clear round on the grade 4 jumping, Mohican streamed around the agility course with perfect running contacts and excellent weave entrances. He came in 2nd overall, a fabulous result. And he was only 0.2secs off the leader a really experienced Grade 5 dog.

Welldone boy even without the practice your a star.
