New recruit to the Kennel!

Have been searching for a quick railer think I have found one!

Big job cleaning the Kennel and Paddock though!

Schooling session Sat 21st.

Took four of the dogs today. Mo and Sam were put into the boxes. Both solo trials. Mo came out like a true professional and was pretty impressive chasing hard. Sam being bigger and having only his first trial with the lids down was slow away but ran on nicely. Minnie had a handslip level with the boxes went very well. Rex had his 2nd handslip and ran the bend nicely but will still need a little more work.
Overall very pleasing.

Farewell to Max

Hope Max does us proud and is successful in his racing career. Was very sad saying goodbye to him. He is a big lad. 40 kg. I am sure he will win the hearts of his new owners as he won ours.

Sat 7th Trip to Chertsey

Took a trip to Chertsey schooling track. Went to pick Ted up after watching him trial and then give Mo, Minnie and Rex a run. Mo had her first jump from the traps with lids down and was great to see her jump well and chase hard. Very pleased with her run and time seeing it was her first look at the track and the 1st bend catches them out. Ted ran earlier and showed that he is coming on nicely and Bruce has down a cracking job breakin him in.
Minnie had a handslip from the side of the boxes and after negotiating the tricky 1st bends she came home strongly.Rex had been in the viewing boxes for several trials and I decided to give him a handslip from the bend. Went well for his first chase of the lure and I am sure he will be even keener next time.

Carrs Road Trialing Sat 31st May

Took a few dogs for a trip to Carrs Road. Some for the experience some to trial. Minnie was the first to trial being slipped just before the finishing line. First time she encounted the bend and went a little wide but then realized what she was doing and came home well, very happy for her second look. Mo and Sam had a bit of box/trap learning being placed through it twice and then let go with the box front open for a trial. Both went very nicely and both bit on at the finish. More than pleased with the effort and great to see them not panic in the box although Sam is a bit big for those boxes!!
Boxer was in the trailer looking on and letting us know he wanted a go!! Rex and Ben were also watching from the van.

Second Trip to the schooling/trial track!

Decided to take Big Sam and Mo to Carrs Road schooling track this morning. Great morning and track in great condition. After watching several trials it was time to give Mo a go. Sam was back in the van looking at the trial. Gave Mo a slip from the finish line just before the bend. Pulled on to the track and really got her head down all the way and was rapped with the way she was chasing. She actually went to the lure and gave it a couple of nudges so hopefully we are getting there. Sam was given the same treatment and slipped from the finishing line. Again off he went chasing well all the way until the drop off. He went to the lure and sniffed it and went to semi bite on a couple of occasions. So pleased with the progress and the schooling at home teasing seems to be paying off. Did not take Minnie this week because i am doing more work with her at home.
