Sausage Dog Agility Competition

Today I took part in a Sausage Dog Agility Competition. There were quite a few of us and I was pretty excited to see some of my sausage pals. We had a quick practice run and then it was down to some serious competing. We all did one round of jumps and then one round of agility, there was puppy, beginners and the advanced class that I was in.

Here’s my fellow little wirey dude, Marcel, starting out on his jumping course.

I have to admit the jumping course was slightly complicated and Mum and I lost our way a bit however I got to the end and was awarded ‘reserve’ (5th) which was good! Check out this video of me doing the jumping round:

However my agility round was much better and I really enjoyed it a lot more! I went round pretty quickly with barely a fault, so good in fact that I came first in the advance group! Watch this video to see my almost faultless course:

All the winners were awarded pretty rosettes and some lovely prizes.

The puppy class winners, my buddy Marcel came second in the jumping round.

    That’s a lot of flying wieners. Agility always looks like such fun. We have messed around with some equipment at times and my little Gretel seems like a natural.
