We had our Agility Christmas party this month (obviously!) it was a Barn Dance - something I had never done before! It was an experience and a lot of fun! This party was for the humans only, and the annual awards ceremony was included on the night. I couldn't believe it when I was awarded the 'Junior Progress Cup'. Tilly will never be the fastest dog out there, and she will probably never compete; but training her has been an absolute blast, and I hope to continue that into the future. She has been a struggle at times, but I've learnt so many things to put into practice with future dogs and to hopefully help me get Betsy up to a good standard (she's got big boots to fill!). Tilly is definitely one of those 'special' dogs, I love her to bits!
The trophy is lovely and we have our names engraved on it. The previous two handlers have Collies, so I also think it is an achievement to see a Labradoodle placed next to them!!
