Not sure how we ended up with so many collies, but they all get on brilliantly. Raising two pups just 6 months apart has been chaos, but so worth it! They make me laugh every day with their antics, and they’re both shaping up to be cool sports dogs with plenty of drive for the job. Can’t wait for the fun times ahead when they’re ready to compete 🐾🔥 …but definitely no more dogs until everyone’s a lot older! 😉

This week it’s been more sheep than agility for the collies. Sheepdog trialing isn’t the easiest path especially when you’re a girl with “just” pet collies. It can feel isolating, with few people willing to offer support, guidance or training/work opportunities But that only makes me prouder of my team.

Zen, my first sheepdog at 3 years old, continues to be my rock. Faith, at just 14 months, is stepping up beautifully. And little Vibe, only 8 months old, worked in a big field for the very first time without a single drama , with Zen steady in the background, ready if needed.
We may not have the easiest road, but every step forward with these dogs proves we can succeed. Believe in yourself and your dogs, even when others don’t.

Really proud of Zen yesterday she came 5th in the Novice 3–5 Cup qualifier out of 77 dogs at Gleniffer Champ show. This was her very first go in the Novice Cup qualifier, and sadly her last as she now moves up to Grade 6.

Zen will never set the world alight, but she certainly lets the world know she’s there and that she’s going to give it a good go. She only does agility to please me, and if she never ran another course she honestly wouldn’t mind (unlike the two youngsters!).

I was chuffed with how we worked together as a team. She covered the ground well with her new running contacts, and although we lost a bit of time with a hesitation on a backside, I couldn’t fault her. With her stumpy build and limited shoulder reach, she’s never going to move like the speedy dogs out there, but she gave me everything she could and I couldn’t be prouder.

I’m also really pleased with how much we’ve improved since we started competing in April, and with the skills she’s beginning to show. Still lots of improvements to make for both of us, so we aren't done yet.

Zen truly has exceeded my expectations as my comeback dog in agility, she tries her absolute best for me every single time. And with Faith set to join us on the show scene at the end of the year, I’m really excited for what’s ahead.

Today we’ve had a wet walk and are now enjoying a cosy Sunday at home the perfect way to round off the weekend. Now, as summer draws to a close, agility will take a much more relaxed approach. With just a few shows over the winter and less training, it’s important to take that rest time too, something we’re all ready for.
