Just a reminder to premium members we will be going live tomorrow at 4:30pm UK time for a Q&A/Hangout. See you there!

Crufts is coming up soon. Who's going? If you're not, do you plan on following on the telly?

Oh so much fun! Agility today 90 minutes! I ran Mabel, Carol (instructor) ran Mabel, I ran Rio (12 year old dog we do class with) and Paul ran Mabel (she’s a bit faster than his 12 year old dog!)! We had a lot of fun and Mabel did so well, she’s knackered. I messed up my blind in the video of the full course which was a shame, but we kept going). She’s had a lovely run over the field in the sun and will go out again later! Three videos for you!!!

I think I’ve broken the dog! We were out so much today she doesn’t need an evening play! Lots of puddles tho…. I worry as she inhales the water so much! I put her on her lead in the end as there were just huge puddles everywhere, she did have lots of fun and did recall out lots for practice. In our local field we got round twice without going in the muddy swamps which was great! We have started working on lots of stops and building up to stop to flush…. Not sure how it’s going to work with a dog that’s played lots of fetch though I need to ask the gun dog trainers for tips!

I got a Mabel update on Facebook and there she is racing around the fields with a cavalier called Hugo. It was so lovely to see them racing and when Hugo stopped she was respectful and waited for him to go again! Love this kennels, she looks so happy with her new buddy!
