We're Back and On the Go Again

Back from BC and had a wonderful time. The weather co-operated for the most part except when we were trialing!!!! We took in a trial at Courtney/Comox BC. The people were very welcoming to the Saskatchewan folks and the red ones!

My pet peeve is paying an extra $15.00 a night/dog, they can't use the facilities so why treat them differently. While in BC we'll be taking in an Agility Trial in Comox (Roadsters Agility) its always nice to trial somewhere different, people are always amazed when they see an Irish Setter!

I've started her a bit in agility but her primary focuses have been field and show where she's kicked some butt! Emma has a littermate in Edmonton who is wowwing people with her drive and determination in agility up in Edmonton. I'm hoping I may have Emma ready to start some agility this summer as long as puppies don't interfer with her training... How is Ariess doing in agility?
