Thursday 7th June 2012

Our first stop was Jugiong where we all camped in our caravans with no power it was one freezing cold night with  -3 deg temps who would have thought we had an even colder night coming up at Canberra?

Friday-Saturday 8-9th June 2012


We arrived in FREEZING COLD Canberra yesterday were we had -5 deg temperatures this morning. The Trial started at 9.00am and there was still ice on the grounds, however it turned out to be one nice SUNNY day.


All the dogs had an absolute ball finally getting to compete in agility after all our Victorian trials being cancelled due to wet ground lately!!

Our Camp 
Merlot gained 3rd in Masters Agility
Nellie gained 4th in Masters Jumping
Nakita won Excellent Gamblers
Merlot won Excellent Snooker
Ace gained a qualy in Novice Gamblers


Sally with Emma gained 2nd Place in Novice Jumping


Over all it was an awesome day trialling in the sunshine with so many near misses - great practice for the nationals. We had the chance to meet & see some interstate as well as New Zealand handers & their dogs.


Tomorrow we get ready to do it all over again and it will be Merlot & Kirra's 7th Birthday YAY!!!!!! P-A-R-T-Y Time>>>>
