So I haven't really been in the blogging mood lately with stuff that's been going on but I really miss it and I haven't updated in so long. So much has happened! Will do it in a few different posts otherwise this one will be a monster and if anyone actually reads this thing then I'd prob bore you all do death if you ever got to the end lol.
So all the way back in the first weekend of August I had been planning on going to Barking Mad summer show but instead I decided that we really did need to practise Rommys contacts before our big KCI adventure the next weekend so I had entered our first FAB show in Oxfordshire! It only took 45 mins to get to which was great and it was a super relaxed day with only 2 rings and both were netted. I really really happy about the netted rings as our aim was for NFC contacts so he couldn't get distracted and sod off. The only downside to the show was I had to do A LOT of waiting around but it was all worth it in the end. We did two NFC agilities and 1 steeplechase course just got a blast. His NFC runs were ace! We even had a set up with a tunnel right at the end of the dog walk which is Rommys nemesis when it comes to stopping on contacts. Why would you stop when there's a tunnel of run sitting right there? But he was a complete dude and did some amazing work, just like the ones he does in training. YAY finally! After that the only competition run we did of the day was the steeplechase, it was American style with an A frame. I handled like a prat and almost fell over, it was such a comical run that we even got the judge laughing HAHA. Even with it being a super sloppy run that it was he still got himself a 2nd so pretty damn good. I was just happy that I didn't break anything and couldn't help being finishing the run laughing at ourselves.
Definitely going to be trying more FAB shows next year for some practise runs, really nice and chilled out shows. Loved seeing all the tiny dogs getting to run on micro aswell :)
