Wahoo! Awesome wuffles - what a lovely score to boot :thumbsup::cheer:

We had a nice return to trialling today....Ziggy has been a little neglected with Em's retrieving trialling lately! We had our first foray into Masters Agility and came away with 2 nice quallies. It was a rather warm day and Zig has been rather distracted by Em being in season so I was really pleased with him - both 1st place 600 height and 4th/13th place overall. His best run was the last one - but silly handler stuffed him up on the LAST jump! The groans of despair outside the ring were audible :laugh: :o Great dog and all that!

Great work TSD! Those damn last jumps have caused many a collective groan :laugh:

Big congrats Wuffles!!

Have you entered any more trials?

We have trials galore over the next month or two. Agility the next two weekends, then obedience/rally, then the Obedience State Titles in May. After that, providing we manage to get our title at some point, we might give obedience a break for a little while. Ava is only 2 years old and I don't want to burn her out. On the other hand maybe she will enjoy UD. Decisions decisions.

Haha Well good luck, fingers crossed you get a nice finishing pass :D

Well done TSD! Go Ziggy! Haha have to laugh about him being distracted, I have a bitch in season here at the moment and what brains my entire boy possessed have gone walk abouts so I am glad I didn't end up entering him like I planned!

Hi Sue & Waldo, I'd love to hear of some updates of how little Waldo is going! :provoke: Pippa is a HOOT as I am sure Waldo is for you. I'm secretly a fan of these mini schnitzels <img src='http://www.dolforums.com.au/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> laugh.gif And black is best!

Thank you for asking-it is nice of you to enquire how things are.

Anyone want a carpet eating black schnauzer-he has unravelled the seam of the carpet and then found a loose thread to pull-i have a hession strip 1" wide and the width of the hall? :cry:

From the training point of view he is doing very well. His recalls are wonderful-both informal & formal. His stays are solid. SFE are good but he does tend to be very crooked when he stands. His heeling is good. He will be 11 months old next week and very close to trialling. He loves RallyO!. :thumbsup: I may well have entered Easter RallyO but my DD's wedding is only 3 weeks away and life is a bit busy.

He is an awesome dog - wonderful company and an amazing friend. I am far calmer and more confident working out how to train him and it shows. I don't mind if I have to try something else. He is visiting in nursing homes and gets spoilt there. He is very cheeky and yes I am besotted.

Just a great pity about the carpet. :laugh: I should add that it is the only thing he has destroyed-he just waited until this week to be a naughty destructive puppy! :eek:

Strauss Mouse, the stud boy was very good this morning winning novice with 194 - this was his title thumbsup1.gif He did bring me back to earth with a loud thud this afternoon by missing 3 sits in the heelwork and also the down in distance control eek1.gif.

Oh no, naughty Waldo!! laugh.gif Glad to hear his training is coming along nicely! Can't wait to hear how you go in your first trial when you take the plunge! I've been training obedience with Pippa when my original intention was to do agility with her :o She is coming along nicely herself and I am looking forward to trialling her at some stage! She only has a short stay happening, and I haven't taught her a stand yet - lots to do! But she's so much fun :D

How old is Pippa? Honestly he has never destroyed anything before-except tissues so it is weird. He was awesome tonight. He even heeled walking backwards when I was working on correct positions. His stand is straighter in heeling but not see so I am going to video it to see what I am doing. I think he takes a few steps to find a true heel position so in the sfe he is not quite as switched on. Not sure though

I'd love to see video of Waldo, he sounds like he's doing great! :) Pippa is about 10 months I think. Born June 2011 from memory. She likes to destroy mum and dad's reticulation and dig a few holes :laugh: But that's about the extent of her destructo behaviour. I'll see about getting some video of her heeling progress at some stage.
