Tuppence turns

We have had a very busy weekend. Saturday me, Chip and Tuppence all had flyball training me and Chip were fine tuning ourselves for next weeks indoor tournament in Maidstone  (Kent).

Tuppence who is learning flyball had her first go on a flyball box after only practicing on a shute so far. As you can see from this photo she did really realy well for a 1st attempt.

    
No pictures of me and Chip this post but Dare and Auntie Breeze got to go over the park instead.

 
They both enjoyed themselves apparently. Auntie Breeze liked the view from the path of the river

And Dare had a big grin on his face ...

Worldless why would she eat that Wednesday

Having a splashing time

Its been very wet and windy in the UK recently and although that's been very bad for some its made the local Parks quite fun.

For splashing in puddles.

Launch yourself out of.

Drinking

Dashing about in

Or even just standing still in...

Tuppence look a bit like a German Shepherd in this photo but she is pure bred English Shepherd, honest!

Long legs

If Tuppences legs get any longer she will be able to step over our stairgate   ...

Its been a while

We have not posted on the blog for a while but we are still around. So before the year came to an end I thought we better update things!

This is me a few weeks ago having my photo taken outside the house. I still look the almost same...

 
This is Chip who as you can see is still finding all the best spots to sit and not fussed what he uses!

Tuppence has changed the most from a little puppy to a lanky teenager.

This is not her best photo (but I chose it!) This is a bit better one of her with me in the background .

Dare looks exactly the same (you couldn't tell if he is getting any greyer...)

And Breeze is still Breeze :-) This is her protesting after being taken for a walk in the rain recently...

Will try to update you on all the 2013 developments in the next few days .

British Flyball Championships

We are off to the 2013 British Flyball Championships tomorrow. Both me and Chip are racing on Sunday. There are a total of 45 divisions across the 3 days and most divisions have 6 teams in them so thats about 270 teams competing!

I am racing in Division 14 and this is me with my Ice Blue Moon Flyball milestone award that I got in June.

  

But clever  Chip is actually racing in Division 2 in the 9th fastest seeded team in Britain.  This is him with the Pearl Flyball Award that he also got in June. Chip is the 1st ever Patterdale to get this Fyball Award.   

Wish us both luck with our teams over the weekend!

She has grown a bit

Tuppence is nearly 15 weeks old now and she is growing fast.

She is into everything at the moment and never seems to sit still for long.

Unless its time for bed ... !

Say Hello to Tuppence

After a few weeks away from us bloging we are back... So say hello to the new English Shepherd member of our pack Tuppence.

Tuppence is a Sable English Shepherd (I am Black and Tan) and from the first litter of Sables born in the UK. ES's are rare are Sables are even rarer!

She does zoom about a lot at the moment.

But she is still very little and can fit into some very tight spaces!

Wordless Worn out Wednesday

Flyball, Flyball, Flyball...

Well thought I should post something after so long if for no other reason than to prove we were still about! We had a Flyball tournament at the weekend in sunny Cambridgeshire. They had a great photographer there who took some impressive action shots. 

This is little Chip doing a fantastic box turn in Division 1.

And zooming along quite quickly

 

 He doesn’t hang about for a little one!

This is me having a zoom as well.

I think you will agree that I take a much better photograph...

And I cross over with the next dog in my team quite well !



  
We are off to another tournament this coming weekend as well.
 

Wordless World Record Wednesday...
