2010 - A quiet start...
2009 was such a wonderful year for us and the dogs. So many exciting things happened - the Border Collie National Show, some exciting wins for the dogs in the show and agility rings, Sian gained her Agility Champion title and became the first Dual Champion (A) in Australia, and 4 new Calanais champions were made! I also had the pleasure of once again visiting Singapore and conducting some Agility training seminars, as well as competing in some Agility trials and four Conformation shows!
2010 is set to be a really big year for us. In March, after almost ten years, Katie and I will get married! Then we will set off to Europe for over a month - a combination of honeymoon time and some Uni commitments for me. Within 48 hours of arriving home from Europe, I will be heading off to Western Australia with Sian, for her last appearance at the Agility Nationals. Her preparation will be non-existent, but I am really looking forward to going along with her and giving it our best shot, but mainly just enjoying my time in the ring with her.
Amongst all of this, I will be completing my Doctoral thesis!
For all of these reasons, we will be taking a break from all other competitions in the first half of 2010. We hope that by the middle of the year we will be right back in to it, but for the time being the dogs are enjoying daily runs at the park and swims at the beach!
