Considering so many shows have been cancelled due to our piss poor weather in the UK, this years agility season has been pretty good, Fudgie has been to Crufts, won another CC, qualified for Crufts 2013, won the DINAS grade 7 small final, qualified for 5 finals at the UKA grand finals in Dec and to top it off qualified to represent GB in the World Champs in Czeck Republic last week.... more on that in a while.... unfortunately olypmia was not meant to be this year, I will really miss going, for me this is one of my highlights of the year. Pic below is fudge and pip winning the split pairs qualifier over all heights :) awesome toy dogs :)))))))</div>

Luna has also been a star, winning into g5 at Vyne and into g6 at Thames, Luna hasnt been the easiest dog as she isnt overly confident. TBH, I could have probably won her up to g6 a year ago but this would have been pushing a dog that was not mentally ready to cope with harder courses. Ive spent A LOT of time getting her to RUN hard and enjoy what shes doing. She looks happy to me :)</div>

IMO this is much more important that winning up through the grades quickly. My winter training with her will now be working on grade 6/7 exercises to hopefully get her ready to enjoy next season too (If it ever stops raining!) :) I love this pic of her - WOW! what a stride my little girl has!!!</div>

A few of us were having a conversation in Czech, about our young dogs not getting the full attention they deserve or require to make them the agility stars that they should be, Spice kinda falls into this category Everything is about Fudge :s .... The top handler/ dogs have these yearly cycles of events they wish to qualify for, which then just go round and round and round.... I know not every one does all of these but most top handlers/dogs will do most .... March -Crufts, April- EO tryouts, May- WC tryouts, July EO's, Sep Olympia Semi's, Oct -Worlds and WAO tryouts, December - Olypmia and UKA finals, and there you have it, another year gone.... Then of course you have all the qualifiers for crufts, olympia and uka finals throughout the year too... are agility people slightly crazy? </div>

Spice for the little agility training she has had is pretty bloody good :) I took her in the ring at KCI and DINAS after a total of about 12 sessions training, she was a star! Apart from weaves, which we cant do with distractions yet, she listened, she was focused, she didnt look at other dog when she was working. What more could I ask for? oh and her speed in the ring got quicker and quicker as the week went on :)</div>

And Ellie.... Well, we're having serious behavioural issues with her atm, which is upsetting for everyone, we have now had her 2 years...she got better than she was, but recently got worse again, she is now muzzled permanently which is such a shame but also gives us peace of mind. Not willing to risk us or the other dogs as she is permanently stressed. </div>

However we are not giving up on her and her winter training will be going down the route of a TTouch behaviourist, so I will let you know how that goes :) We will try our hardest to get you better Miss Ellie :)</div>

<br />
Do I miss them?? Do I wish I had kept one?? No definitely not, Ive never been more sure of something. I would have been very foolish to keep one just because they were cute and one of the girls was just what I want. I am very much looking forward to seeing these babies grow and develop and all being well, breed from Luna again in a couple of years then keep one. <br />
<br />
I know they will all turn out to be superstars and maybe even be successful in their 'jobs' whether its agility, shooting or search and rescue. However good or not so good in their 'job' they will still be my superstars and im sure their owners too!!<br />
<br />
So, UKA finals<br />
<br />
It was a fab weekend of agility, I was totally pooped by the end and im sure the organisers must have been totally knackard, but they all did a super job! For us It was a weekend of ups and downs and being more nervous for the people I train than my own runs! All of my 3 paws lot were just simply awesome, for most, if not all of them, its their first time in a final on that scale and they all did great whether they won (woo hoo!!) got placed, or got E'd they should all be very proud of themselves!! I am!! Bring on next year!<br />
<br />
For my own runs, well, the weekend started of with the csj semi which I believe she was 3rd in, this meant we were in the final in the evening :) The top 3 places didnt change from the semi and we came 3rd overall. :)))<br />
<br />
Sunday started off with disappointment I stupidly didnt trust her weave entry in the masters jumping and over worked it, I was so annoyed with myself especially when I looked at her time and she was still over a second faster then anyone else with having to take her back. <br />
<br />
In the Masters faults get put into time so those 5 faults now meant we had 4 seconds to make up in the agility. Too much especially with her super dooper carefulness on rubber contacts. Its like Ive put glue on her feet or asked her to walk through quick sand!! <br />
<br />
Anyway, this was totally irrelevant when we got e'd for taking #2 the wrong way :-s. This it not to say I wasnt pleased with her runs because the rest of the rounds were super, excellent close control, lovely distance control, and a cracking weave entry in the agility. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ajco4EZzB1Q?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Her last competition was the circular knockout which she won!!:)))) We had already decided there was a quick course and a slow course because of the way the back line ran. So when I got put on the 'slow' course EVERYTIME! I knew I was going to have to shift my arse! Fudges weave entry was awesome every time. you can see from the video that it was almost right angle into left hand weaves, which so many people were moaning about when they were walking it. So proud of her that she nailed it from a distance every time which allowed me to get my chubby backside up for the push though. There was a straight line going though the back but to create that line and not turn it into a 'naughty flick' I had to chuck her and run. Paul said hes never seen me run so fast which I thought was funny :) anyway mum did a video of all my runs bar the masters jumping, not sure where thats gone?</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Meg has gone to be a shooting partner for Rich, but also a loved family pet.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I cant believe how quickly its gone, they are already 5 1/2 weeks. The first girl will be leaving home in just under 2 weeks and I still have so much I want to do with them!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wish I could have given up work for 8 weeks to look after them and enjoy them a bit more as I feel especially in the next 2 weeks there is so much to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Any one that says breeding is easy, must be superman or woman!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Im lucky in some ways, I really dont think I could do it if I worked full time, I know a lot do, and all credit to them for that! Im finding it difficult working 30 hours a week!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So an average day goes something like</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(for the first 3 weeks)2 am luna needs out for a wee, cue all the puppies think its time to get up, lots of screaming for half hour then back to sleep.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5am Luna seems to need out for another wee!! all the pups definitely think its time to get up this time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5.15am with match sticks in my eyes let all the pups out for play time clean and disinfect the pen feed the adult dogs</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">6.30am pups start to crash out so put back in their pen for breakfast</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">6.45am pups finish breakfast, pee, poo and sleep :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">7.15 walk dogs</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">8.15 go to work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">pups seem to sleep until I get back about 2, I can only presume they do as there is no mess in their pen!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">repeat the above process finishing with walking dogs about 4pm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">clean, tidy, have visitors and new owners round to see the pups. feed the pups have them out for another hour until they crash.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">cook and some when around 7.30/8pm have dinner (usually my first meal of the day at the mo!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">have a glass of wine!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">pups wake up about 10pm, quick half hour play and back in their bed </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We crash sometime around 11pm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Theres a couple more feeds in there and general things that have to be done, shopping, going to the bank, sorting out lessons, doing training days etc etc, but youve got the picture!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ive put together a video of the pups around 3/4 weeks.</div><div style="text-align: center;">annoyingly as the videos are all take in the evening it seems really dingy and you cant see the pups too well. </div><br />

We have heard back from the K.C to confirm we have been granted the kennel name 'Ittlebe' Thank you Ann-Marie!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If anyone has any suggestions for K.C names now for the pups, I would love to hear them. Might give the owners some ideas they havent thought of yet too. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Potential puppy names so far are Megan and Fleur for the girls and Raven for one of the boys. All im asking is it start with an L So... 'Ittlebe L .............'</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Im pleased to say we have had no more episodes with luna in the last week but Im still keeping a very close eye on her, As advised we have started to wean the pups early, they have had a mixture of whelpie, and lunas milk since last Sunday and as of yesterday a bit of puppy mush too. When they got the hang of it they really enjoyed it, this morning, they all threw themselves at it and were much more enthusiastic.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">They were however, not quite so enthusiastic about the wormer this morning. They were all given 0.5ml and im sure only 0.1ml actually stayed in their mouth, the rest of it ended up round their chops, for the others to lick off. </div><div style="text-align: center;">They all weigh 38 or 39 oz this morning so are now all just over 1kg. little chubs!</div>Amz and Dogletshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13043038205245791528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934003168941719843.post-63612263960533311102011-10-21T06:45:00.000-07:002011-10-21T06:45:51.957-07:00Big Catch up!

I then had a tx just before my 1st run to say Lunas refusing to eat. For some dogs I would not worry, but for Luna, Ive never known her not eat! Infact, she even ate about 4 hours before giving birth! This was then a constant nag and worry to me through the day, I would like to thank all my agility friends for all their kind words and advise throughout the day and after. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Joe was keeping me up to date via calls and txs saying she seems fine in herself but not eating or drinking. Just to get something down her, he gave her just some chicken, (thats all she would take) and then drank the stock. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I bumbled through the day, Some bits we ran nicely, a lot she got me out of trouble and the rest.... well..... </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

If at any point Joe had said Lunas not right in herself, with out question I would have gone home. In hindsight, I should have gone anyway as I found myself at the end of each run, picking up Fudge, giving her treats and a cuddle and saying 'im sorry'. I hate the feeling of letting my dogs down, of course she has no idea we went wrong! She just loves it sooo much and always has a smile on her face!</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Sunday night, after dinner Luna was laying on the floor and I noticed her head shaking, I went over to her and put my hands on her, she was trembling, when I spoke to her and tried to get her to wake up(I thought she was dreaming) her eyes rolled in the back of her head, As I got her up, she walked with a wobble then lay back down again on her side. It was about 10pm by this time. I said to Joe, Im calling the vets and he agreed. I find myself being a little neurotic about this sort of thing ;-) where as Joe will keep his head and tell me not to bother if he didnt think it necessary. The vet called back within a matter a minutes and went through some questions with me, after deciding that she really ought to see her and warning me that it is going to be a VERY expensive call out, by 10.30pm we were at the vets. She gave her a thorough examination, and decided to narrow it down to eclampsia, aka milk fever. She said she cant be sure but thats what we will start with. After 6 injections, calcium, folic acid, antibiotics...............more tablets, inc antibiotics we got out of there at 11.30pm and went home. Sunday night was one of very little (no) sleep but by the morning Lu seemed much better and was willing to eat again, she was also willing to feed her pups again :-) </div><br />
I didnt realise how close a call it was, I didnt realise that if we hadnt got to the vets that night, then we might not of had a luna in the morning. From now until the pups are weened (which we have been advised to do early) Luna will be under 24 hour watch. It will always be something I will look out for in any future litters. I guess you live and learn in everything you do and am very grateful for family and friends support.<br />

<br />
So...... The puppies!!!!!<br />

I thought she would want to spend a little more time with them just for the first couple of weeks but apparently not! She does her duties and does them well but as soon as they're all off to sleep she wants to be down stairs with us or going out for a short walk.

Luna is a Star!!At 8pm last night (fri) Luna started nesting, very subtly, and this was going to be her way throughout the whole thing! <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>I decided to try to get my head down for a couple of hours whilst it looked like she wasn’t doing much this was at 10.30ish, Joe then came to bed an hour later and put Luna to bed also, who is in our spare room, I have been staying in there the last week as she has needed out for a wee a couple of times a night. <br />
<br />
At 12.30 am I got woke up to Luna being slightly unsettled, I got up and sat in her whelping pen with her and she snuggled into me for the next couple of hours whilst I read. All of a sudden she jumped up and the water sac appeared and burst. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Angela, who had very kindly agreed to help me whelp the pups said any time day or night call her and she will come. I felt really guilty as it was now 2am, but I called and she came straight over, she lives half hour from us and bless her she was there in half hour of phoning! </div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">By the time I had put down the phone puppy number 1 was here! No real contractions just literally popped out! Luna freaked out, I helped her break the sac and as she was distressed the cord snapped, Oh my! That was a lot of blood! I tried giving pup to lu to bring round but she totally disowned it :( So I got him going and put him in the whelping box as Luna really thought it was the devil that came out of her! I knew Angela was nowhere close so had to get on with it the best I could. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Luna settled but was not going to talk or let the first pup near her. Joe went off to meet Angela and as he stepped out the door Pup 2 fell out of her. She was much better this time, although, she was not in her bed as she had gone to the door we managed on our nice newly laid floors with no newspaper..... Oh well, that’s why we didn’t have carpet :-) I grabbed a towel put it under puppy and let her work on it, which she did, I thought this would be a good time to put the first pup with her too, she took to them both and when she sorted pup 2 out I put all 3 in the bed. Just at that Angela and Joe arrived! Thank God!!! I was trying to keep calm but on the inside having a nervous breakdown!</div><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now Angela was here I let her take over! She has done this Hundreds of times breeding her own so I watched and learnt! ;-) Pup 3 was breech, but again we wouldn’t have even known it was on its way, Lu Just lead there nursing the other 2 whilst it half came out and then a couple of mins later out popped the rest, this little boy had a nice soft landing as she was in her box on the vet bed. Angela broke the sac and it took its first breath by itself.</div><br />

Within the hour Luna had cleaned up and was settling down with her 4 lovely puppies and was quite happy to go to sleep on the newspaper. The bump that was there had now disappeared so presumed it was somewhere on its way. Not that Lu was much help in letting us know, at 5 am Luna was lead against Angela, She could feel the contraction again her leg but we could not see it and wouldn’t have known otherwise, After a couple of small contractions out came number 5, This one took a couple of mins to get its breath and took Luna even longer to realise it was there! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTx0wk6eU0KsohMDQmoCmkcOcrWSAA-cEZzkSCRWqzwCH1Nzs8gE2qdGGZGLWKEQvSmF5HkSA9MYI8WESKwrFDqTxm7FJ1gVkI3J1qf70Mh7ykx2EJ8xeYUvtMSw-uQdhNyhxhc3ohyphenhyphenJQ/s1600/luna+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTx0wk6eU0KsohMDQmoCmkcOcrWSAA-cEZzkSCRWqzwCH1Nzs8gE2qdGGZGLWKEQvSmF5HkSA9MYI8WESKwrFDqTxm7FJ1gVkI3J1qf70Mh7ykx2EJ8xeYUvtMSw-uQdhNyhxhc3ohyphenhyphenJQ/s320/luna+010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Her puppies are VERY active, which is lovely to see and feel them. Bless her, she is not, we went out just for 15 mins this morning before she decided it was too much and time to go home. I cant say I was too disappointed as it meant we were back in time to watch the start of the worlds :-)<br />

I never thought I would say Im glad I was too rubbish at the FCI tryouts to be on the team, but I really am! It would have been more gutting to be selected and then not be able to go as puppies were due the same weekend! <br />

<br />
Fudge has had, yet again, another awesome year. She always gives 110% every time and I just cant fault her. When I filled out her entry form for the W.A.O it really surprised me. For those of you that don't know, the selection process is based on how you do on the selection day plus they take into consideration how you've done through the year too. When I started putting pen to paper I realised just how much she had achieved in our show season especially as it was all within 4 months. Our UK show season really ended in June this year apart from a couple of shows in September because we went off to Denmark and then to the E.O's. On top of all her other winnings and places this year she has won 3 masters classes and won her 3rd CC at Hinckley making her 'Agility Champion Millieon to One'. She has also qualified for lots of finals inc, uka - Masters, CSJ, Knock-out and K.C - Crufts singles, Challenge, Champ, E.O tryouts for 2012. She is So lovely and I enjoy running her soooo much! <br />

Luna I have also really enjoyed running this year, All our early shows were UKA so I trained her in everything!! I looooove UKA for this. I have an extremely confident cocker in training with fab speed and drive yet last year when I got her in the ring it seemed to disappear. So, I took all the technical stuff out of her courses at shows and training and made up my own courses. This really seems to pay off as I had almost the same drive in the ring as I have in training this year which is fab! Only problem is because I spent so much time on drive and straight lines our grade 3-5/4-7 courses that most shows lump us together as actually requires a bit of handling too!!oops!! at least Ive got a very happy spanner! <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Still, she hasnt done too bad, she did win out of G3 at vyne and has got a few other trophies this year too. Im really looking forward start training her again after xmas as she hasnt done anything since June!</div>Amz and Dogletshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13043038205245791528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934003168941719843.post-12284767936979561292011-09-27T12:46:00.000-07:002011-09-27T12:46:03.964-07:00Hi!OK, So this is my first ever post on my first ever blog, I hope to keep anyone that may be interested in our news up to date. <br />
