Thanks to everybody who sent me emails and messages regards Amy. She will be buried together with Marlon in Germany where they did spent the happiest days of their lives, before Dangerous Dogs Acts and other negatives influences from human beings to their lives. They leave me very precious memories and two outstanding properly brought up Malinois behind. Indy and Yukon would not be the same without your input. You will always be with us.

Amy

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you, that my beloved American Stafford Terrier Amy (Simplicissimus Kamy) passed away, after a short battle with cancer. She was one of the most amazing dogs I ever lived with, even we were not the best of friends often. She was very affectioned towards people and her pack siblings, but everybody outside of our pack was always a little in danger to be beaten up. She never started an argument, but was always up for finishing one. I am pretty sure she left a big paw print on many hearts. Amy was an amazing working dog. She was a qualified Schutzhund, she competed in Agility, was a Search and Rescue Dog in Germany and took part in a project as a Volunteer Drug Sniffer Dog in Germany. Everything she done in her live, she done it fast and furious. Last, but not least she was in charge of my dog pack and did teach all new editions to the pack the manners and the naughty things for a good dog live.
The boys, Richard and me will miss you.

Nice Weekend

We did go to Colchester Agility Show on Saturday and I did know straight away I would not go back on Sunday. Indy done a fabulous Agility round in only 27,4 seconds ...... but seems to have missed the up touch point on the dog walk. So again another nearly. We had a really lazy Sunday, I mean we done absolutely nothing. Today we did go to Search Dog Training, and I am really impressed with both my boys. Indy was really good today. He did work really well. He checked out all side tracks and did a really good alert. He only had one little down fall, I did not like to do a full refind on a Misper sitting under a tarpaulin... don't blame him. Yukon is changed today from his training aid to the real Bringsel. He did go very well, but he still drops it before being close to me with his alert. We need to work on this indoors a little bit

WBSDS

What can I say.... Dr. Jekyll is back. Mr "nice guy" Indy Hide was not seen once this weekend. Some big handling mistakes on my side and clipped poles as a result, but than Indy did go mad as he used to do in the past. He did start biting me in the ring again and so I took him out of the ring. Amy got me two nice clear rounds in the Any Size Jumping, even not been well last week.
I look forward to next weekend.......

Spring at Shuttleworth

We had two great days at Shuttleworth. We have done a lot of great things, but......it did not work out in the end. Indy is such a good dog. He tries so hard to help me out with my handling mistakes. We gained some good places in the BSD Special classes. Congratulations to all others who have done so well this weekend.

Wow, what a day

I did go back today and still can not believe what happened. We did win two classes in an outstanding time. A Helter Skelter and a Jumping Grade 2. I am well pleased with my big boy. He is not only good looking, he is smart after all. Also did catch up with a lot of friends and mates.

Touch Points and other funny business

What did I say, touch points are for wimps and waits.... why should he wait. And by the way it is possible to jump of the see-saw and clear the next jump in one go... It was a real laugh, after be to late for walking the first course(could not get out of bed) my handling skills just did go out of the window. Maybe go back tomorrow and give it another go, otherwise next week we start a little bit more serious business.
