December

December -

It is not happening much in December, well that is not right but it don’t happened things that it is worth talking about.

A lot of walks, training at home on my own. My agility group has started to train in a “riding house” and it is a very good place to train agility but we have specific hours and my working hours don’t match so good.

But I have been and train for Jenny Damm 3 times this autumn and now it is up for me to prove that I have understood. I think Jenny doubt it, at least I didn’t show her when I was there. But it was fun anyway!

There is no competitions coming for Freja and me, not until April I think. So we got a lot of time to practise.

I want to wish all of you a Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year!

Christina and Rosie

Autumn 2009

This year has been great for Freja and me. We are now competing in the second class both in agility class and in jump class. She still loves to run and to please me. She is absolutely a darling. If only I could get it right I am sure we will get to the top.

The competition season is now over. Freja and I are taken some private lessons from Jenny Damm instead. She is so good. I am doing my best to learn, but it is one thing to understand how to do it and another thing to do so.

Darling-Chanel still don’t like to compete, se have tried but she seems to be to shy. I had plans to breed on her but as I know the breeds problem I decide to do a MRI on here head before. Chanel don’t have Syringomyelia but she has Chiari like malformation. They that should know say that most cavalier has this form of malformation. Maybe they have maybe they don’t – I don’t want to be breed a dog that has a to small head.

Chanel is a lovely dog and loves most of all bird watching and mice hunting.

Rosie – the best has this autumn also done a MRI. The sad thing is that she suffers of Syringomyelia. So her official competitions days are over. Rosie has been a part of the agility team Cavaleriet, and they qualified to the Swedish Championship both 2009 and 2010. But 2010 they start with out Rosie. It is so sad. Rosie loves agility.

Älvis is Älvis and he drives me crazy most of the time.

Help!!!!

One of the very good things with internet is that you meet new people from around the world. Peolple that you share the same interests with.

So that is why I now try to create a new side on this homepage that is in English.

My new friend Ruth Bates with her lovely cavaliers has been so kind to link to my homepage. And maybe I will have some new visitors. Visit Ruths website http://www.cavaliersandagility.com/

I also hope that my "old" friend Siobhan will find this side. She's got a lovely Labrador called Hippo.

I live in Sweden with my family and 4 dogs. We got 3 Cavaliers and 1 Malinois.
The name of the Cavaliers are Rosie, Freja and Chanel and Älvis is our Malinois.

It is a lot of agility in our life. Jessica (my daughter) and her dog Rosie has been competing for 3 years, and they are very successfull. Here in Sweden we have 3 grades and Jessica and Rosie are competing in the highest in both agilityclass and jumpclass.
More later.
