Dear all,
Please excuse me while i have a go at this blogging malarkey... you'd think I'd be more ofay (not sure how you spell that, Barry says my spelling is terrible) spending all day on a computer but this is my first ever blog post! Hopefully the first of many, I hope to entertain you all with comical stories of the dogging world. Maybe I should explain that first, 'dogging' is the term we use for going training with the dogs... SARDAing doesn't quite have the same ring to it!
We had a great weekend just gone, I was bodying for the Lowland dogs on Saturday and little dogs on Sunday... Just realised how much lingo we use! So Lowland dogs, please correct me if I'm wrong anyone out there but as a body I see it is used for the lowland areas, i.e. urban searches, forest paths, open lowland area... and the little dogs are in there first stages of training - learning what the 'game' is about. So on Saturday I found myself at Dudley Park near Waunfawr in a variety of places, the most comical probably being half way up a tree. It's fantastic watching the dogs search for you up a tree as they can't see you they have this confused expression on their faces as they've found the source of the strongest scent but no-one is there, after a couple of times circling me, they went back to their handler and then all was revealed - you just gotta look up dogs!! Is quite hard playing ball up a tree though! Sunday was great fun we were about a mile up the Rhyd Ddu path up to Snowdon, running round and screaming like a loony with the little dogs. There was three dogs training; Scout, Guinness and Max - Max had come over from the Isle of Mann to train. All left, more excited, a bit further on in their training but tired than when they had started. I knew exactly how they felt on the tiredness front, 'twas a great weekend but you need a month to recover before the next one!!
So that was the first blog... testing, testing, one, two, three!
