Well we had a great time at the BASC Scotland Game and Country Fair yesterday and today. Alfie took part in his first ever proper obstacle course and gundog scurry today and he did really well. He ended up in fifth place in the scurry and I am very, very proud of him
Especially considering that not only was it his first time but it was also open to dogs of all ages and experience and all breeds so he was up against labs as well as other spaniels. There were quite a few entries, I think about 40 odd in all.
Not too surprisingly the main prizes were all won by labs in the scurry and the obstacle course was won by a hooooge lurcher which practically jumped all the bales at once
although at one point in the morning Freya's Willow was in first place and Alfie in second which was nice while it lasted
Cazzie's gorgeous lab Belle did REALLY well and won the straight retrieve with rabbit distraction which was amazing
So all in all a very good couple of days!
Some pics from the obstacle course:
And Willow...
