This weekend Brody and I had two days of agility competitions.
The first one was on my birthday (Saturday the 29th November) at our own club – NSDTC. It was a ribbon trial which basically means its not as important at a Championship show.
Its only our third competition, and unfortunately it didnt go well… Brody is having some issues in focusing on me in the course, which means that he is prone to running off out of the course and saying hi to some dogs watching. Also he has trouble when we have to do a tyre of jump that looks different to anything that we have done in class, he literally dosent see it.
Apart from the two disqualifications for Brody, it was a fun day, watching all the other club dogs competing to various success.
On the Sunday we went out to Kumeu for the Norwest Agility RT, to attempt Starters and Elementary again. The day started out pretty average – both Brody and I were tired from the day before, and also both extremely itchy from hayfever!
Both starters and elementary were even worse than the saturday, with Brody running out of the ring for both events, and basically being a little buggar and not listening!
Some of the other club dogs had a but more success that Brody, which was fun to see.
So a fun weekend, but very tiring! Brody and I both needed a huge nana nap after the Sunday competition. Looking forward to next year when we can get into the agility comps properally, and hopefully not be disqualified!! Aiming for a clear round 
Congrats to Suzanne with Jack, Debbie with Bailey and Debbie with Tatley who had clear rounds.
Hey kel, great pics and even though he does run away sometimes he is still cute. Look forward to more competitions!!
Hi Brody,
Thanks for visiting my blog! So nice to “meet” you again – am glad you have a blog too – now we can keep in touch and find out what each other is up to!
I think you’re so cool doing this Agility stuff – I’ve tried it but it’s a bit hard for a big girl like me!
About the TV and stuff, my human, Hsin-Yi, says the best thing is probably to join an animal agency. There is one based in Wellington called A Grade Animals (http://www.agradeanimals.co.nz/animalsforfilm.html) and also Mark Vette “Animals on Q” in Auckland (http://www.markvettes.co.nz/animalsonq.htm) – get your human to contact them and ask if you can join their books. They will probably ask for your photos and what you can do.
My humans haven’t actually put me with any agencies – she can’t really be bothered – I just happened to appear on TV and in some magazines because of the things I do and people heard about it and I got sort of famous!
Like being a representative for Outreach Therapy Pets or my doggie dancing…
Anyway, good luck with that! I’m sure you’d be a brilliant animal star!
