Great vacation

We have just got back from our vacation, we have been touring around a big part of England doing summer shows and agility shows of which one was The Kennel Club International Agility Festival, but more on that later. We have been to three different parts of the country had mainly good weather and even had time for a few days chilling out. The girls have had a great time all behaved very well and have been exhausted every evening.

Here I am setting up our camp, putting up the netting so the girls can roam around, they are waiting in the back of the car.

Well I said that I would tell you more about the agility show There were over 10,000 entries from 27 countries from as far away as Japan!

All the girls were entered and all had qualified for the KC Novice Cup, it was held over 2 events 1 Agility and 1 Jumping with the top 15 dogs going through to the final. None of the girls quite managed to reach the final but Willow won the jumping round beating 56 dogs she would have made the final if she had not of got eliminated in the agility for taking the wrong course. We had to go onto a podium to get the jumping trophy and as I walked to receive it all you could here was 'IT'S A BEAGLE' almost in amazement, I was very proud of Willow at that moment.

Here is Willow with her trophy and rosettes gained at the festival.

Both Bonnie and Rasha have done well recently Bonnie keeps on picking up good results amd wins despite her maturing years she is now 10. Rasha has been steadily improving and picked up her first win on Saturday where she beat Bonnie into 2nd place.

We are at another big finals weekend this coming weekend where Bonnie has already qualified for a final, Willow and Rasha also have a chance of sneaking into the finals as well so we might just might finish off the season with are best results to date.
