PyrShep Tani: March 2011

Tani ...

... was born in a litter of 4 puppies on December 25th 2008. She spent the first two months of her life in the Loubajac kennel in the French Pyrenees. Her mother is Pecquelette de Loubajac and her father Hob-Nob's Victor.

When she came to stay with me, we started Silvia Trkman's puppy school, followed by Sivia's tricks class and later on agility handling classes in LoLaBu training center. We do everything using only positive training techniques. We are very fond of Silvia and her dogs, specially the crazy little La who is Tani's 3/4 sister. We also attended handling classes with Daša Zakotnik and Polona Bonač.

Tani has many passions in her life. The biggest one is agility, of course, but she also loves playing with her beagle sister and BFF Xsara, hiding her toys in the most odd places, running through the fields and meadows, playing with sheep and eating.

First Exam For A3

On Sunday, Tani and I attended a big competition in Hungary called MEOE. The judge was Arthur Rodgers from the UK. It was a great day, not only because we managed to pass our first exam for A3, but also because we were in great company, weather was nice, temperatures were a little warmer and everything was perfect. Our jumping run was not so good, I made a couple of handling mistakes but we got through the course somehow. In agility we had a very nice run with one wide turn that I made on purpose. We were clean until weaves and I knew that the entry was the only hazard left on the course, so I decided to play it safe and make the entry as easy as possible. Despite losing so much time on that turn, she had a very good time which got us the 1st place :) Here is the video, thanks to Daša:

I also have many great new photos to share, some from agility (by Maja Rokavec) and some from a little hiking trip with Iztok Noč and his brilliant camera.
