More Dancing With Cairns From Ock! Saturday 12th February, Ock Mischief
and myself won a 2nd place in the Elementary Freestyle class at the Swindon
Dancing Dogs Fun Show. This was our very first show and we did a routine to
Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie. No I didn't dress up nor did Mischief but he
did have to jump out of a basket which everyone thought was lovely! Hopefully
better pictures to follow.

Jennie has also sent me details of 2010 Scottish Terrier Agility
Scottish
Terrier Breeds Agility League Final results for 2010 We have
seen many changes in the League this year and some of our lovely dogs have
been out of action due to injuries or illness. Crisp, a cairn belonging to
Sorcha Price who was our overall winner last year had to be retired from
agility this year due to illness. I hope she is doing well and not missing
the agility too much? In May, Ollie a cairn belonging to Nikki tore his
cruciate ligament and had to have an operation to repair it. Nikki is hoping
to get him back to agility this January so look forward to seeing Nikki and
Ollie in action again. Nikki informs me that she has a new 8 month cairn
terrier Bramble so will we see them doing agility next year? Mary and
Adrienne both had leg injuries themselves earlier in the year which curtailed
their agility shows but from the results it looks like Mary is better. I hope
Adrienne is too? 2010 was an
excellent year for some of our members. Exciting news from Suina as Jodi her
cairn won grade 6/7 agility Olympia Qualifier at the Avon Show in June and one
of the Crufts DFS qualifier classes winning combined 6/7 agility in May so I
will look forward to seeing them at Crufts. I havent heard how they did at
Olympia? In January, Deidre
and Rhum (cairn) moved into Grade 2 and Adrienne and Tessa (Scottie cross)
won into Senior (they are in Grade 7). In February, thirteen
year old Megan and Alfie (Cairn) managed to move out of Grade 1 and into
Grade 2 and then in July they won into Grade 3. Alice and Hector (Westie)
another of our younger members, also moved up to Grade 2 in February then
topping that achievement they qualified for the DINAS finals in August. Well
done to them both. June saw Laura and Kai (cairn cross Westie) moving up to Grade
5. As for the
final results for 2010, congratulations go to Mary and Misty (Cairn) from
Ireland who are our overall winners this year scoring a total of 270 points.
They were overall 2nd last year. Mary and Misty need to watch out this year
as Megan and Alfie were overall 2nd this year collecting a staggering 233
points. What a marvellous achievement for 13 year old Megan and Alfie - well
done to you both. In third place was Susan Seal and Mac who is a Westie with
a score of 215 points. Laura and Kai managed to get 4th place with 209 points
and Adrienne and Tessa were in 5th place with 163 points. Well done to you
all, the rosettes will be with you soon. At the end of
the year we have lost a few members. The league consists of: eleven Cairn
Terriers, three West Highland Terriers, one Cairn/ Westie cross and one
Scottie cross. We have one new member and welcome Gillian Pringle and Indy
another Cairn terrier. This makes 16 members. If you would like to join then
please do email Jennie Fairweather at ockcairns@yahoo.com Needless to say
that I have not run Tinker in competitions this year but he is doing well at
shows running NFC so this year we will try a few competitions and see how we
get on. The results for each Kennel Club grade
are as follows:
