Gipsy -  - (Lady’s Wild Child) – a Lady / Bex puppy

If Gipsy had been my first dog I am under no illusion that I would have a new hobby by now!  I wanted a fast dog and I got one, with Bex’s speed and the gentle nature from both parents.  Due to the fact that she is my baby and spoilt rotten, not to mention the mistakes I made with her early training, Gipsy likes to do her own thing in the ring.  However, after two and a half years with only three clear rounds I came to train at Upanova Tigers in an attempt to get help from someone who ‘really knows’ how to run quick dogs.  With much perseverance and Alan changing my handling style completely, Gipsy has now had numerous placings including a first and second in Novice Agility classes with a third in Novice Jumping.  Whatever the end result, I get a buzz from running her every time.

Tiza -  - (Momerri Tiza Magiza) – Another Bex puppy!

Big, gentle and dippy are the first words that spring to mind about my little man!  Built like a tank, Tiza has presented a new challenge to me in the shape of a powerful and completely devoted dog.  He never means to go wrong but his turn of speed is very unforgiving when I hesitate for even a fraction of a second.  Again, both Alan and Jayne have been incremental in helping me to realise the potential in Tiza who has recently had his first two clear rounds in agility – a 10^th and a 4^th.  He has rock solid contacts but right now I’m holding back until his confidence is built…..watch this space!
