Emma stole the show at our Champ show yesterday when she won 2 QCs! She beat very strong competition in the Contact to win the QC, her first in this discipline and MUCH to my surprise! Levi DQ'd due to my "too-slow" handling AGAIN! Emma also won the Dog Jumping QC, her 3rd in this discipline, but unfortunately two under the same judge, so she doesn't qualify as a Champion quite yet. Nonetheless, it was an Emma day. :) In Non-Contact Levi ran as fast as he's probably ever done, but unfortunately we DQ'd on a tunnel. Emma stepped in a thorn again and refused a jump, whereafter I DQ'd her to take the thorn out first, but thereafter she also ran a beautiful round.
I recieved Emma's Non-Contact Champion Certificate from KUSA on Friday, so photo's of my little Champion will follow soon. It's also her 4th birthday tomorrow, but more about that later. :)
My Beagles...
Emma and Levi......are 5 months apart. Emma was born 3 November 2004 and I soon realised she needed a playmate. I was very lucky to find Levi within a few months of getting Emma, as I waited nearly two years for Emma!Levi was born 28 March 2005 and was the naughtiest puppy alive! Him and Emma immediately hit it off and became the best of Beagle Buddies.I desperately needed to find an outlet for my Beagle kids' energy, and ventured into the world of agility. It soon became one of my biggest passions, apart from the Beagle breed, and today Emma and Levi are both competing in the top grades. I made a friend in Slovenia, running her Beagle Xsara in agility, and she inspired me to start teaching them tricks. I'm enjoying it very much and hopefully this blog will be as entertaining and inspiring to others, as Xsara's is to me.

Way to go, Emma! And you were about to give up on summer trials with her :) I hope to see some videos of your runs ...
Great work Emma!
What kind of ground do you have in competions? Just curious.
Hi, it's grass sports fields, lovely most times, sometimes soggy in winter from all the rain... but this year the thorns are just EVERYWHERE! Worst it's ever been... not sure why. Anyway, should improve soon. :)
You still wanted my email address... will leave it here for a while, then remove it, so send me an e-mail once you got it so I can know to remove it.
Thanks B, Emma truly surprised me yes... but the weather was cool-ish. Unfortunately have no video. The friend who always took them isn't competing at the moment and the other one is now in the same grade&class as I am, so also can't video, will have to make a plan though!
Well done Emma! And happy birthday to you!
Thanks for coming by to visit my blog. I love the pics of Emma and Levi, especially the intent focus on their faces at the beach. Bet you were holding a treat???
Hi there guys! Nice to meet ha both & welcome to DWB! I watched your recent Agility video & was awed! You go so fast! I was just about to introduce you Xsara the Agility Beagle when I just realized you already know her. She is just as good as you!
Butt wiggles,
