 Minnie hoping for some dessert Minnie hangin with me on the terrass Me prepping for the rally obedience class with Minnie Minnie is greedy, cheese stick and fox Lulu having walk with Uudu after mantrailing training Lulu also had Debbie over, they had not seen each other over 2 years Lulu went to walk also with Minnie :) Minnie just on the couch On a walking trail with Uudu, this time Minnie got to also come Then Lulu got to come with us to the radio amateur summer camp: And after got a new friend: Minnie enjoyed her life at the same time to the fullest having walks and playing board games We also made some special agility training for the championships:

We participated first time in Estonian Agility Championships. Judges were Roman Lukac and Tom Mercebach. The weather was quite warm and nice! 20.06.2026 Individual competition: Jumping course. The course was nice and flowy with its couple of moments to put attention to! Minnie was doing good but there is room for speed still. We got clean run! Speed 5.3 m/sec and it placed us on 7th . Total 10 clean runs in medium class out of 39 participants. My goal in this competitions were already fulfilled - to get a result! I was already very happy! Agility course. Again sightly tricky but nice. Minnie had still quite a lot of speed that she did not use. But we managed all the course and it was clean run again! Speed 5.41 m/sec and this time 5th place! Total 8 clean runs in medium agility. Combined we got 4th place in individual competition (from 39 dogs). She has competed only a year and she is just 30 months old. My mind was blown! Also the podium wast just 0.41 sec away! And only 7 (!) dogs...

Agility competition in Viljandi, judge Marta Miil. Still in grade 2. The courses were nice and very flowy. 1st course . Jumping. There was one place where I choose the "safe" option with a blind cross. Everything worked well except one rear cross where she turned with me...lost just time. Clean run, 1st place, speed 5.27 m/s. 2nd course . Jumping. Now I tried the "not safe option" and it worked well. Everything else also. Clean run, 1st place, speed 5.6 m/s. 3rd course . Agility. I was a bit anxious about the A-frame and dog-walk because in the last competition on the same field she was jumping them. But this time nice ones!  Clean run, 1st place, speed 4.92 m/s. 4th course . Agility. Everything worked well, but then I did good strong pushing move and my little and very smart dog changed the direction in the last moment and went behind. That was DSQ for us.   Despite of one DSQ we still got an overall 1st place in medium: Video of all the runs:

 As we have been doing orientation with Pärli and taken Lulu with us all spring. Actually 10 times dorig this spring, then I decided to take part in Zaba orientation day for dogs. I went this time alone with Lulu to see how we manage. I choose short course, because of her legs. In written it was 2.5km, but in reality it was 3km.   I was the first on to get to the finish. But as I actually got a but lost in one place and we waited our turn on the ditch crossing and we even walked in couple of places. I think we could have been under 20 mins easily, so therefore I did not think that we were the fastest :). Later it turned out that we were fastest out of 22 dogs that went on the short course!  As a bonus, Lulu got nail clipping on the spot :D
