Boo is a 4 year old Border x Lakeland Terrier, she turned our world upside down in January 2006, as a very cute and tiny brown bundle of fun!!
As she grew we tried our hands at a lot of doggy activities, including companion shows, terrier shows, obedience, even doggy dancing but nothing seemed to fit..... until we discovered AGILITY!!!
Boo was 12 month old when we started agility, and talk about 'duck to water', nothing phased her and she learnt very quicky.... except the weaves (we had a mental block on them for ages LOL).
It wasn't until October 2008 that we actually entered a competition (only because we were never actually going to compete... agility was play time!), we had a fantastic time, we were E'd in agility twice, but then managed to pull of two lovely clears in Jumping... and took 3rd place!
That was it, we were addicted! offically measuring into small in February 2009 we started our agility career, and have never looked back.
Boo now possesses many rosettes and trophies (plus a nice list of eliminations), we won out of Grade one in August 2009 then out of Grade 2 in October 2009.
We train at Newton Heath DTC, and this blog will be the 'Up's' and 'Down's' of running a terrier in agility.... who knows where we may end up!
