3 rosettes at 1st agility show

Had to brag, Tilly attended her 1st show on Friday. She will be 5yrs old in September, but her agility show career has only just began! We rescued her at around 12 months of age. She was in a rescue centre with an old injury to her back leg. She wouldn't use it. Anyway the centre said there was nothing the matter with her, we took her home & had her x-rayed. The vets prognosis was that she had previously had a broken hip & that it was very nearly healed. We didn't want to let her do too much, so she started a bit of gentle training a year later & she was only allowed to jump over poles on the ground. Trying to keep a terrier calm is a nightmare anyway. She could do a wall of death around our living room without touching the floor Well, we went to EMDAC at Melton Mowbray & she got 3 clear rounds. We managed a 20th place (large rosette) out of a class of 100 (that icluded all sizes, micro, mini, medium & large). I was absolutely chuffed to bits. She atually beat all the other dogs in her size group (mini). What a little star.
