Arh bless, that's so cute, dogs love to do anything to please their owners, I love that, give a dog a ball and that's them happy...give my husband a Dyson and he's happy! (He has enough balls

)
I bet you are thrilled.....I would be!

It was an independent comp, so not KC, so didn't really 'matter' - more a bit of Xmas fun really, had a great day out, agility runs went wrong because of contacts - again, disqualified first run on first dog walk for missing contact, ditto second run
Jumping first run was a unmitigated disaster, second run we went clear on the actual course but mini decided to add an extra tunnel in cos it's fun so another dq, would've got a 3rd with the time, possibly won if she hadn't added the tunnel in
Steeplechase was as usual hilarious disaster, I can't run that fast & mini can't read the numbers, that ended up with me crashing into her, she was fine, happens a lot, and rolling around on the floor

All in all possibly the most fun you can have with your dog, I love competing, but it's sooo much more fun when it doesn't matter what the outcome is

lovely pic and sounds like a lovely day

I was always sure I was invited to do agility displays with my boy because he was so fast and excited and I was so unable to keep up with him - always good for a lot of laughs from all, I was usually crying with laughter and unable to breathe by the end!

The grade is immaterial - its the attitude I was referring to!, some take it far too seriously esp in the higher grades

I know, we try and do little in dependant shows just to lighten it up a bit from the KC shows

My dogs would be far too embarrassed of me, I am not very agile, a few of the pups of my older bitch do agility and are doing very well.....I love anything that involves the dog and owner working together!! Your dog is a little star, if it were mine I would have had a little lump in my throat!
