Well in a moment of recklessness I've just entered Epic and myself into our first KC competition! :eek2: It is only a small show and I hope it will be a nice one to try. I've put in for 2 agility runs, a jumping round and a steeplechase. :uhoh: I've been really reluctant to enter shows other than for training and kept putting off and putting off doing any, :hide but bit the bullet and did it online tonight with 10 minutes to spare!
We've done no agility training at all for the last month and no sign that starting up again is imminent (ground is waterlogged) but hopefully we might get in one or two classes before the show as it isn't until 22nd Feb.:fl

This will be our first competition event but I'm just aiming for getting round at least once without an off course and hopefully good weaves, contacts etc. A clear round would be the icing on the cake....

How exciting! Good luck, I'm sure Epic will love it. Just remember to enjoy yourself, I know that can be hard when the nerves kick in:wink2:

I haven't tried KC yet because there was nothing much in our area. Now I know Merlin measures medium I hope to try one in the summer. In the meantime I have 7 competitions lined up between now and March.

My mum says, "you're crazy". I say, "You only just noticed?":biggrin2:
 
Good Luck, I entered my first Rally trial last Dec with both my dogs. We did not qualify but it was still fun.

I am sure you and Epic will have a great time.

Caz :smile2:
 
Enjoy and don't worry how you. Spend the time learning how things go and laughing. Plenty of time for Epic to straighten you up later.
 
I'll see what I can do about getting a video. Normally I can rope in some unsuspecting bystander! :wink2:

Yes I'm just going to try and enjoy it - I love agility so much that I hope nerves will disappear on the start line. Even if I mess up the main thing is that Epic enjoys himself. :smile2:

Sophie- I didn't know Merlin had measured into medium. I though when we were talking about jump heights last autumn you said he was large? That is great news and I'm so pleased for you because you will have more options of shows available. Wow, 7 shows is a lot! Hope the weather is kind! One thing that has struck me with agility shows is how early they start! :eek2: I've got out of practice since I stopped doing the breed shows in 2012 and have had a year of getting used to reasonable hours :sleepy:
 
I know, I don't do early mornings except for agility comps:lol:

I thought Merlin measured large, but when I had him properly measured for BAA he just scrapes in at 17in which I now realise is the cut off for medium. There is still a risk he will measure out, but when I try my first KC show in the summer I have everything crossed he will measure correct. Plus I've been given some tips on how to get him standing properly. So I live in hope!
