North East Dog Fest, 9 September 2023
Shirley Buchanan & May have been out again this weekend. They did the scurry and hunt at the North East Dog Fest on the Saturday. Shirley said May was a bit distracted by the plastic decoys on the hunt and the water but did retrieve all the dummies eventually.
Durham Dogs Hoopers, 10 September 2023
Shirley & May also took part in Durham Dogs Hoopers, unfortunately the weather had turned and the rain had arrived. Shirley said they had two eliminations and one clear round. By then the ground was getting a bit slippy with the rain, but they managed to still do the last round, unfortunately it was another elimination. Shirley felt that May just wasn’t in a ‘Hoopers frame of mind’, but she was still very happy with herself, so they had enjoyed the day despite the weather.
Well done Shirley & May
