First agility competition

[AlisonF]

I finally got to camp with all four Tollers at an agility competition last weekend. Was the first proper camping trip with all 4 on my own. And the first competition for the youngsters (I did 2 withe their mum 3.5 years ago but stopped as she wasn’t enjoying it).
For a first time out I was expecting a lot of eliminations and promised myself a bottle of champagne if we managed a clear round. Haha, we got 1,2,3,5,8,22 and 24. Not quite out of grade 1 but bodes well for next season.
They love the Cali and their wee trailer works a treat too.
Not everyone’s idea of Cali life, but it works for us.

Love this! I love the Duck Tollers and the rosettes more though

Wow amazing, well done. That is a great achievement!

Agility is one of the main reasons I don't get to use our Cali some weekends. So much easier for Mrs S than a tent.

The last thing I would do is make an enclosure around my van, but with the dogs I can understand it.

There are some very grand gardens set up at the shows to let the dogs have some freedom, but not too much!

My son and I used to travel all over to agility competitions with our border terriers. I used to judge too. Stopped when the dogs got older and son went to uni.
Cali is an ideal vehicle although in those days we used to have a long wheelbase conversion with a toilet and shower as we were often in the middle of a field with no facilities at all.
Excellent fun and very addictive. Well done on your places
