Day 2 of our show and the rain was very kind and waited until the end of the show before it decided to fall.
Great courses from our judges. Huge thanks to everyone who helped, especially for course changes.
Lots of fun at prize givings with so many people coming and cheering everyone on.
It’s been a long week with the 3 day training camp and 3 day show. But we’ve loved every minute.

A round up of some of our guys from this week’s activities. Anyone spot the odd one out? 🤣

16/05/2024

Change of scenery for our trainers last week teaching up in the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Barmuckity Mutts in Nairn. Followed by a lovely sunny show at the weekend. Well done everyone 👏👏

What’s not to like. Sun, beach walks and Hoopers. Summer is on its way. 😍

12/05/2024

Anyone recognise any of these guys?😉

Also new to this years Dog Show in September we will be holding a Have a go Hoopers stall run by Excel Canine Hoopers They will also be doing displays throughout the day.

Canine Hoopers is a relatively new activity to the UK where dogs negotiate a course of hoops, tunnels, mat and barrels. There is no jumping and courses are smooth flowing so it is low impact for the dog. Therefore any breed from young to old can take part. The aim for dog owners is to teach their dogs to complete the obstacles and courses at a distance, so no running is required by the handler. Therefore, it is an activity that owners can enjoy with their dogs no matter what their own fitness level is too ;)

30/04/2024

First shows of the outdoor season and these guys battled all kinds of weather this weekend. Rain, hail, snow and sunshine at BK9 Hoopers in Kelso and UK Hoopers in Scunthorpe. Well done everyone, some great results all round.

We’re looking forward to heading North to the Scottish Highlands next week. Sunglasses are packed 😎 Along with the waterproofs 🤣

10/04/2024

These guys enjoyed hoopers in two different areas this weekend. Stirling Hoopers CHUK show and West Lakeland BK9 Hoopers show.

And congratulations go to wee Harry who was awarded a lovely rosette from BK9 Hoopers for reaching the first K9 Heroes milestone. He’s the first dog to achieve this too. There’s life in the old dog yet 😉🥰

26/03/2024

The show schedule for our 3 day show 19 - 21 July is now available. You can find it in the files section of our Excel Hoopers Events group https://www.facebook.com/groups/394598505333974 or at the BK9 Hoopers Community group https://www.facebook.com/groups/666344642332475

Although the number of runs/dogs will not be capped, camping is limited to 40 units. If you wish to book a camping space email [email protected]

We are also pleased to announce that our show will be using our new baseless hoops and chutes. One of the first shows in Scotland to be using this type of equipment which is already being used throughout England and the rest of Europe, making running courses for dogs even smoother 🧡

26/03/2024

March has certainly been a busy month for Hoopers in Scotland with 3 shows this month. It’s now the end of Winter indoor shows. These guys have had a blast. We’re all looking forward to some drier weather and the start of the outdoor show season 😎

29/02/2024

You already know about our outdoor Summer show dates at Bowmuir Farm. We are now pleased to announce our dates throughout the Winter months at the indoor arena at Sidewood Farm. It may seem a bit early to think about next Winter but with so many dates in the Scottish Hoopers diary already we thought we’d better get organised 🥴

28/02/2024

Lots of Maximum 30 point certificates awarded to these guys at K9s On The Wildside BK9 Show this weekend. It’s great to receive acknowledgment and encouragement for distance handling which is such an important aspect of Hoopers. Something we teach from the very beginning.

It’s all about skill training and encouraging our dogs to be independent and confident with the Hoopers equipment. And of course dedicated trainees that follow our training ethos. Well done guys 🤩👏👏

12/02/2024

It’s been a busy month already with Hoopers competitions. Excel’s BK9 show last weekend and Hoopersonics CHUK show this weekend. Doesn’t matter which organisation it is. These guys just LOVE HOOPERS 😍

06/02/2024

Well done to Kellie’s Kitchen, caterers for our show at Breconbeds and all the recent High Five Hoopers shows. Their profits always go to Dumfries & Galloway Dog Rescue. Another £100 raised this weekend 👏👏👏

04/02/2024

Thanks to everyone who attended our first BK9 Hoopers show. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves. Apologies for the weather, not the best, but at least there was no snow 😅

Huge thanks to our judges, helpers, caterers, and anyone who got stuck in and helped with course changes and end of show clear up, it all goes to help in the smooth running of a show.

Our next BK9 Hoopers show is our 3 day Summer outdoor show Fri 19 - Sun 21 July. Look forward to seeing you there 😎 🌞

23/07/2023

And that’s a wrap. The show is closed and everything packed away. Thank you to all our judges and to everyone who helped. A special thank you to our fantastic club members who have worked before, during and after the show. We couldn’t have done it without you guys 💖
