Tear Around Tilley (Tilley) Grade 7

Tilley is also a very good family dog, and is now quite happy teaching my daughter Hazel how to do agility.

Tilley’s agility career took its time as I had two children Hazel in 2000 and Connie in 2003, which limited the amount of shows that I could do, and to some extend her training. Although I remember qualifing for the Mini knock out when I was 8 months pregnant with Hazel, as each round got smaller there was less time to recover between rounds, and by the final round I think people were on standby for an early labour!

Burgess Final 2007

Tilley is about 13years old and still loving her agility, we have had some hold ups along the way, but feel we have achieved far more than some would just dream about. This little stray has taken me places I thought were impossible goals, but still each year she takes me further, perhaps this is her way to say thanks. We are both on a buzz when we run in a class, and we are a partnership, we may have taken longer to get there but its good when it happens.

We are at Crufts this year in the Eukanuba Challenge 07, Eukanuba Mini Mixie Pairs 07 i just wonder how much more we can win, can we go all the way? (I wonder)

She did it not untill 2008!! Crufts Eukanuba Pairs 1st & 1st Euk Challenge(heat 1), 5th (heat 2),

2nd Final overall at 13years old.

All Gold At Stonebridge(Poppy)Grade 1

Poppy is a Jack Russell x Pom she is the newest member of our family, she is my daughter Hazels first dog and chose her from a litter of seven puppies we went to see in Suffolk. She is very different from any of the other terriers i have had before but am sure the other 8 dogs in this house hold will soon bring out the terrier in her!! She was born in September 06 so we have plenty of time to show her that going out in the rain is not such a bad thing.

05/02/07

Poppy has settled in very well not at all toy motivated but loves doing things for food, her ears are both standing up now which i hope doesn't slow her down!! As she is 5 months i will start to work on her obedience a little more, also i will try to mix her even more with people & other dogs she enjoys coming down to the club when classes are on which is doing her good.

Thankfully she isn't to wimpey & does get pushed around to much by the other terriers she gives out as much if not more than she receives

Cleo's Scottish Flyer (Cleo) Senior

1994-2005

Cleo was my first Agility dog and was responsible for getting me 'hooked' with this agility lark!

She was a great little dog and competed at Senior level in Midi. She was just a tad over 15 inches and when she started competing she did full height jumps (30"), as Midi classes were few and far between.

Cheeky Chap Jester (Chester)

CHESTER
I am Chesters 3rd home, he was found in Wales as a stray but now he is an "Essex Boy".

He is a Basenji JRX and was approx 2-3yrs old when i got him in 1999.

He has been trained to do agility BUT is not a willing worker as ruled by his stomach always not sure when he will be eating again so burger vans and dog stalls are a great attraction. Still lives a very happy life on the farm eating what ever he can! He has had surgery twice to remove unsuitable items from his stomach. Will he ever learn? Somehow I doubt it.

Chester has since had his third operation to remove a very small ball!! He has just had his fourth operation (November 07) and still alive and kicking!!

Flo Flo Quick Quick Flo (Flo)

Flo came to me in 2003 she was about 18months old, I was Flo's 3rd home.

She also can do agility but finds it hard to enjoy herself if she is asked to do something. Her last home found having such a lively dog hard and tried to stop her being so lively, which i think i why she is the way she is and only run's around when you ignore her!!

She is a very lively dog and runs around like she is on e numbers.

She comes to Agility shows as a spectator and enjoys the excercise area a great deal but no matter what size the exercise area its never big enough for Flo!!
