I really dont know what this year will bring. With the loss of my Kodibear the plan is simply to wake, keep putting one foot in front of the other, to sleep and start again each day…..
Unfortunately I broke my foot on the 1st of September (ironic considering my only plan this year was to just put one foot in front of the other and keep going!), therefore have had to miss all training sessions and competitions that we had booked. This is likely to take us through to the end of this year, gutted but hey roll on 2020!
Quick congratulations to some of the dogs/pups that we’ve bred:
- Roo – For achieving his Agility Warrant Bronze
- Roo – Congratulations on qualifying for the Crufts Large Novice ABC Semi Final at Discover Dogs in October
- Roo – For achieving Grade 6 Agility dog status
- Dottie – For her first full seasons agility, including clear rounds and placements including a 1st place
- Bear – For his Crufts qualifying at his first Championship Show and for Best of Breed at his first Open Show
- Bear – For achieving his Scentwork UK level 1 qualification with 100% finds

Kodi
New years day I said goodbye to my beloved boy. I wont list loads of rosettes, achievements and awards here because that’s not who he was, he was simply the kindest boy you could ever meet.
Everywhere he went people would want to hug him and pet him and he loved to be adored. He would always find the dogs that were worried and make them feel better, he was so kind to our rabbits and cats when we had them and literally just had the kindest heart you could wish to find.
Kodi came into my life because he was meant to be and he knew me and loved me no matter what. My irreplaceable boy, my best boy, my Kodibear, until we meet again….
