Title: "do you want him to be fast or pretty?"
Post by: LinzHenz on February 16, 2009, 07:34:49 PM
Henry is a fluffy dog. He's got a full skirt and feathered legs, big fluffy ears and a quiff. Has his back stripped so it's sort of an extra fluffy version of show trim  :lol2:

Our agility trainer always takes the mickey out of him as the other cockers in our club are clipped out like mini labradors, often saying he should get a haircut.

Yesterday we were practicing channel weaves and Henry was having a good old sniff of the ground (rabbit poo) whilst trying to run fast through the weaves...resulting in treading on his ears several times! Trainer says to me that I should trim the excess hair off his ears coz he'll never be fast if he's standing on his ears whilst he's running. I think my expression may have said it all,  >:( to which he added 'do you want him to be fast or pretty?'...so i said easy, pretty!! that shut him up!!  :005: there were further threats to pin his ears back with a bull dog clip...it's tough being glamourous in the world of agility lol

LOL he did say once that 'there was only room for one Dominant Male' at training (when we first started going and Henry had run off halfway through a course and did his own thang). I struggled to give any commands after that it made me laugh so much!
