We have persevered with the agility sometimes doing up to 4 sessions of club training a week and a bit of practice at home in the garden too. Willow does it very nicely, not the fastest, but we have a whole bunch of rosettes for her steady but accurate runs.
Her temprament has been fantastic, and we have settled into being a happy house.
Willow is going to be measured to classify her for height for KC shows soon. I don't really understand why since she is obviously in the large category and this is the largest and thus hardest category. You have to pay for measuring, and it has to be done twice!
We still go running fairly regularly and that is all fine. She is quite controllable when out and only really refused to do what is asked if it involves going near another dog.
She got bitten by an English Bull Terrier in April, 8 stitches needed and a bit of convalescence. She is OK now. You have to be careful of Bull breed owners, there are a few out there who do not train their dog to have a good "leave" command and then let the dog run about unmuzzled. Give the sensible ones a bad name. The owner of this one claimed his poor dog had been atttacked four times, I think he might have got it the wrong way round. Watch out if this happens to you, your insurance will go up.
