Erk at International Dog Show in Tartu 8.11.2014

On 8th of November we went to our first International dog show and overall to our second show.
First one was National show, near Tartu (Ülenurme). This time we wanted to get at least "good" qualification or grade and we got "very good". That's fine for us (for agility), but I hoped that we will get again "excellent" grade and maybe we are even nominated to sertificate candidate, because we were the only male junior border collie, but noooo. We are too sporty and lively to be good dog show material. (Below is picture of our evaluation paper)
This time I asked our agilitytrainer Stefi to show Erk, because I was a bit afraid, that Erk will act grazy and do some stupid stuff with me. Usually lies down in a show ring and starts to stare other dogs.
Thank you Stefi :) 

The judge was from Belgium, Dirk Spruyt.

After the show I looked why Erk was acting weird and twitching, sometimes even whimpered when someone touched his hind legs, and found that he had broken one nail. Probably from our last training.

Old stuff, but still fun to watch

This was one of the first times when we threw Erk a frisbee. We didn't exactly know how to throw and didn't know if he's gonna catch it. Result is in the video. Now we know little more about throwing frisbees and Erk has got even better at catching them.

In the first run (course) we had one mistake at the last obstacle and for that 5th place, but overall we had the best time. In the second run (course) we had again one mistake. This time it was the first obstacle and we got 6th place because of that and overall second best time.
