When i first got Betty it was at the end of the season of my entertainment show so she didn't really experience what its like to work outside in the show. During the winter she has been great at the cabaret nights and also demos at Crufts so i hoped she would work well outside when the K9 Freestyle display season started.
The first outside show of the year was the Newark and Notts county show where we had two 30 minute demos a day. On the first day the weather was awful and i got very wet during the first show and not much better during the second. Due to the rain i decided not to bring Betty out as the last thing you want is for a new dog to have a bad experience on its first outing. Luckily the next day it was sunny weather so i opted to work her in both demos. She was great and even after the sheep and ducks had been in the ring for the sheepdog display she still remained focused and didn't sniff. So i was very pleased with her but i know by the end of the season, all the dogs get a little ring wise so i hope her present attitude in the display remains.
Over the next few weeks i have a competition and workshop to teach before the outside demos start in earnest.
