3rd in Beginners

We still haven't quite managed a red one, but Jesse and I got 3rd in Beginners today at Surrey! I am really pleased, particularly also because he did a lovely Novice training round too with lots of enthusiasm and working nicely. So I think we are on the right track and I can't wait till next Sunday for the Training Bonanza - a training day with various trainers... that should help pushing me towards the red one.

3rd. Ms. V. Marney and WEIAMBEA JESSE JAMES. American Cocker. Losing 4.3/4 and winning r/o with the following dog. When Jesse puts his mind to it he can do some lovely high stepping heelwork, not as good as I have seen him work but good enough to get this place. Also a very big 'step in' on the heelfree probably cost you 2nd place. However, it is lovely to see other breeds in this sport and you have worked jolly hard with Jesse. Well done.
