FiFi Mk2...... Nessa.
But its FiFi Mk1 - Evie - I feel sorry for
She was coming to her peak, qualified honed keen and due to appear at the finals at - count them - THREE levels Grades 4 5 & top grade 6 and - Pfffttttt all came to a grinding halt. She will now compete for fun, her semi retirement triumphant year decimated.
I'm lucky, seen so many pups trained, got such great remote support (and secret one on one meetings with our coach) that I have been able to get good sporting foundations in her - quickly too, she is a stunning dog at the task.
She is however, now 6 months, and the Kevin and Perry teen period is upon us, she thinks she knows better, she thinks she can pick and chose when to recall, and I apologise to all the local pensioners with muddy paw marks up their fronts, and the numerous toddlers knocked flat in the park. My only excuse is I need live targets to train with.
And there is the rub, there is 12 months of covid pups bought, none of whom have been able to go to puppy classes, or be socialised properly. There is a a lot of dog issues to come.
