Lucy's Blog: First Blog

Evening all, alot of people have a blog these days thought i'd best get my arse into gear and get one up and running. Don't really know what to put on it, but i'm sure i'll think of things to add as and when. I am regularly around the country competing with my two border collies, Kip and Pie, in dog agility.

So, this is Pie (Who Ate All The Pies) He's nearly 4 I think. I rescued him when he was 14 months from Many Tears Rescue, and no one really has any history about him, just that he's from Wales. He is currently Grade 5 in agility. He started the season in Grade 3 and has progressed up 2 grades and has exceeded mine and other's expectations!! He is a fantastic dog to live and to work. He is very much a one person's dog and is very affectionate, oh yeah and also very handsome :]

This is Kip (Shanowl Kamikaze Kip) Kip will be 10 in March this year. He was given to me by his breeder in 2004 just before we were due to go to Crufts, a month later. I started training Kip in agility when he was 4 and have trained him ever since. He has taken me from Elementary, which is now Grade 1 to Grade 4. He has taught me everything I know and has helped me be able to train Pie myself. When I started training Kip he was already experianced and trained. Over the years I have tweaked his agility. However, over the last year he has slowed down dramatically and I think that this season may be his last competitive season, but i'm hoping he will prove me wrong on that one.
