2nd show of the season was the one-day Scottish Border Collie Club show in Lanark. We were focussed and more in practice than we had been in Dundee – and Jake even got his contacts. We placed 2nd in Grade 1 agility, 5 seconds behind the amazing dog that won (and which won just about every other class it could else that day.) We also placed 4th in the Grade 1 jumping class.
As soon as I opened the envelope containing our running orders I had a good feeling about this show. It’s not often that we get to run the no-chance combined 1-3 class first (and so burn off Jake’s loopy lap of honour at the start), then the jumping (a gallop and no contacts) and finally the agility when Jake is most likely to focus on me.
I love how the rosettes for the Scottish Border Collie Club show are black & white. And our black & tan mutt got two of ‘em. Sorry collies.
