She had a great time! There were 5 shows. For the first three she was the only sheltie, so took best of breed. She did not place at all in group through... basically because she's a goofball and gaits with her legs flying all over! I have dubbed her the Minister of Silly Walks. But really...

Yeah I think we're just going to go and have fun. Just like agility. I can always pick a few good things that we did, even if the score says we were a disaster. :lol:

I know.. I tend to encourage my dogs to be silly goofballs. Neither of them is very serious about anything. :biggrin2: Hopefully there is a judge that will think that personality is adorable.

I don't mind someone saying agility is hard. It's a sport. It's about timing and communication and position in space and cues that people don't even see unless they know the sport well. I'm going through puppy class with my third agility dog, and watching my instructor try to explain a front...

Callie is entered in a UKC show this weekend. She's the only pre-entered sheltie. Her breeder trimmed her up a few weeks ago and she's starting to look a bit shaggy again. Her breeder is meeting me there tomorrow evening and fix her up a bit. I'm going to bathe her tomorrow morning and blow...

Tommy sings. He puts his head back rocks back and forth on his front feet and "Aaaaaaooooooooaaaaaaaoooooooaaaaaaaoooooooo!" What's especially funny is he only does it alone. I very rarely catch him at it. And I can't ever get him to do it when I'm around. He's 8 1/2 years old and has...

Oh I would have been out the door in a hot minute.

Like others said, it depends on the dog. I have one who hates children with every fiber of his being (and has since I got him at 8 weeks old), is an annoyance barker, needs constant entertainment and mental stimulation... The word to best describe him is obnoxious. And don't think that will...

Yeah but I said I won't run in downpours or if it's mucky. :) Sometimes there's just that annoying drizzle or a passing shower. I'm pretty quick to scratch if there's something I don't like. But wet grass or wet equipment (depending on the equipment!) isn't an automatic scratch for me. I...

We train and run in light rain. I run slower and smooth the turns out. I will not run if it's pouring, if the course is mucky, or if there are high winds. It's no different than being the first run of the day at 7:30 when the grass is wet with dew.

Oh interesting, thanks! I see eyes and ears are scored together. Maybe her perfect ears would make up for it! :lol:

Hi! I've posted a few times but haven't really introduced myself. My name is Jennifer and I have two shelties. We live in upstate NY. Tommy is Denron's Pinball Wizard, a small 8 year old black tri colored sheltie. He has agility and rally titles (2 CPE CATCH's, and RE, AX and MXJ in...

I just got the email for a UKC show that I'm planning on entering in November. This will be my first foray into conformation. There's a pajama party the first day. I thought, "There's no way people are showing dogs in pajamas..." Then I looked at pictures from the clubs facebook page for last...

Is there any chance that blue eyes in sable merles will ever be allowed to show in AKC? I'm going to try my girl in UKC but there's not a lot of it around here.
