Tilly is now fourteen and a half.
She did her last competative round
in July 2016. She went out on a high
as she won a level 2 rally class at
Nuneaton DTC. With her failing eyesight
she was getting in a panic when she spotted
the signs. So I retired her. She had a stroke
in March 2018 and another one this March.
She has bounced back from both of them
Bless her. She gets confused(I'm thinking
of changing her kennel name to confused.com)
We have started doing scent training and it
has given her a new lease of life.

Glad to be back Chris & Tilly

Thank you to everyone who offered to judge for us. I am in need of just one more judge so that I can get our schedule out. We need someone for C Bitch Part 2 on Monday 26th August (champ day).
You will be rewarded with 2 free nights camping in prime position , great food, the chance to work your dog on 2 other days and our eternal gratitude 😁

Tried to book a skip for our show(Loughborough) from where we have been having it from for the last goodness knows how many years and they won't supply one because it contains dog waste. Tried other companies and they are the same, had to book wheely bins from the council in the end but I just wondered if it is our council rules or something new that has sneaked in now and will affect all shows. To be fair the chap at the council was really helpful and obliging, just wondered if any other shows have had this problem.

Lorna passed away at home with her beloved Shelties around her. She had been a member of the Sheltie Working Section since 1994 and supported everything we did. Some of you may remember her working her Shelties in the obedience ring. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

I don't want this to read too much like the Oscars but I have a lot of thank yous following the Inter Regional Comp - Western Area at Crufts.
Firstly to my fab team. We may not have won but we had a great team spirit and I was proud to be there with you. Thank you to Pauline and Gill who have supported me and helped with the team selection; I shall miss our meet ups to choose the team.
We had plenty of sponsorship this year so I would firstly like to thank Christine Richardson who sourced, ordered and paid for all our team jackets (including one for me from the team) for which I was very touched. Thank you all. Jan Saker for the tuggies for each of the team, the South West Obedience League for the dog leads in our team colours, CSJ for the sack of dog food for each team member (thanks for organising Hilary) and Hayes Parsons Insurance Brokers for the dog coats and sports water bottles for each of our team. Grateful thanks to you all.
Also Debbie, Sue, Jan and everybody else involved in the fund raising which paid for the training halls for our meet ups and practice.
It really was a great team effort so thank you for making my last year as team manager so special.
As a last note, I shall miss my team manager "family" and our messages. It was a great idea Wendy.
