Whizzy qualifies : )

At the end of November i had entered Whizzy at the PNM Guilford show in advanced freestyle as this was the first show she could compete at this level. This advanced class was also the last Crufts semi final qualifier of the year so although Pogo is already qualified in both divisions i thought i would see if Whizzy could qualify as well. I was not worried if she didn't as she is still young but it would be a great experience for her if she did qualifyed for the semis as in 2012 she will not get the chance as i can reveal that i will be judging the Crufts finals again.
She was her normal enthusiastic self and although i let her down in a few places i was delighted that she won the class and gained a Crufts semi final qualifier. This meant she has had a great first season by going from novice to advanced winning six firsts from six shows.
As i will now have two dogs in the freestyle semi it will be a bit more work but my aim for Whizzy is really just to keep her attitude as she is young. I will more than likely keep the routine she has been doing as my work needs to go into Pogo as this may well be her last time in the semis because of course i am judging the finals as i have mentioned earlier.
Training has not been going too bad with Pogo although there is still a sequence which i cannot seem to get consistent. I have tried going right back to basics but still she seems to do it but not always as crisp as i would like. So now i really need to decide whether to remove that sequence or just keep at it and keep my fingers firmly crossed on the day.
