    Buladelah Show Society

    Saturday 17th November 2012

     

     

    Today's show marks the one year anniversary of Cameron's handling career. One year ago Cameron decided he would try handling. He walked out of ring from puppy sweeps cursing and saying that after that day he would never handle again.... little did he know how his life would change in the ensuing year!

    

    Later in the day he handled in breed and then was roped into participating in 'Gentleman Handlers', where he was awarded 2nd place.... out of two handlers! At least he received a lovely fringie for his efforts.

    

    At the end of the day, Cameron was less disgruntled, but alas, still certain his handling career was over. Little did he know that at the next show I would seriously injure my foot, putting myself out of the ring for some time. With two dogs to handle that day and many more shows entered, Cameron stepped in. And the rest is history. Mentored by Chrissy Fitzgerald of Snofyre Kennels, Cameron developed into a super star gentleman handler. I am dizzy just thinking about how many times Cameron has run around a ring in the past year!

    

    So, we have been looking forward to the show where it all began. In addition, Buladelah is a lovely little agricultural show in beautiful surroundings. We managed to be the largest breed in attendance for the working dog group, with 15 Lappies entered!

    Annika commences training for sledding

    12th November 2012

    

    Cameron has been wanting to train Annika for sledding for some time. Certainly not a sport for every Lappie, and one to take great care with; but Annika has displayed numerous traits suggesting she may enjoy sledding. When training her parents for the Endurance Test, Cameron started to take Annika along on the rides. Wow did she enjoy it! She would gleefully yip in excitement as they ran along, Annika setting the speed for her parents. She absolutely loves running and also enjoys pulling. So, Cameron thought they might give sledding a try. 

    

    We visited the Hunter Valley Mushers club last month to learn more about this sport. They were incredibly welcoming, provided thorough information on how to commence training and fitted Annika with a racing harness. We got to have a ride on a sled, with a team of 7 or so huskies pulling the cart around a track a few kilometres in distance. Wow what an experience! Such amazing team work and something the dogs obviously take great pleasure in.

    

    This week Cameron and Annika commenced training, by getting her to become comfortable with pulling a weight as she runs. The weight in this clip is 10kg. 

    

    Can you believe after this session she came home and continued to run around the back yard at full speed!

    

    We are taking this sport slowly and with caution. Also with the expectation that if she does ever race she'll be at the end of the pack- but she'll sure have fun in doing it!
