Congratulations to two talented beagles and owners. Two super agility achievements in two days!

Luisa Fallon and Boss enjoyed a couple of days away in Cumbria over Easter at the Phase Purple KC Agility show. Not only did Boss win a G4 Agility class and a G4 Jumping class, he also gained enough points to qualify for his Agility Warrant Silver (subject to KC confirmation). His KC name will now be Newlin Rambler AW(S)

At a very muddy Longfield agility show on 11th April Susan Arden’s 8 year old Dottie’s 1st in Agility and 2nd in Jumping gave her the final points required for her Agility Warrant Platinum (subject to KC confirmation). Dottie’s KC name will now be Madika Spot On JW ShCM AW(P). Susan’s Candi also won a 1st place.

The weekend of 16th and 17th April was a successful one for two veterans.

On Saturday Susan Arden’s Madika Spot on JW ShCM (AW(G) aka Dottie was Reserve Best Veteran In Show at Humberside Hound Association open show judged by Mark Ord.

On Sunday Jackie Fraser’s Wyvisview Harlequin went one better than her RBVIS at HAS and was Best Veteran In Show at Ross & Cromarty CS open show judged by Mrs L.A. MacKenzie.

There’s no stopping Luisa Fallon’s ‘Boss’ who is on a roll. Just a week after gaining his AW(S) he wins again. This time at the Scottish Border Collie Club Agility show held at Lanark racecourse where he won 1st in both G4 Agility and G4 Jumping.

Boss is pictured showing off his lovely rosettes and prizes.

Another milestone in Boss’ agility career as his 1st and 2nd at Platinum Agility show at Kelso on 21st April resulted in him winning out of Grade 4 and now competes in Grade 5.
