Whoop Up Days 2011


Whoop Up Days 2011, originally uploaded by mandypug.

Izzie and i spent all of our last week at our local fair called Whoop Up Days. We were performing with our agility club to show off all our talented well trained dogs.

Izzie did awesome all week and showed people that little Pugs can do big things! We even conquered some fears like the A-Frame! Izzie also got faster every demo we had, i was having trouble keeping up. She is getting more confident the more we play and i love seeing that.

I also got the opportunity to run dogs that weren't mine! That was super fun, especially when i got to run with my favouritest Flat Coated Retriever EVER, Kaleb!

Isn't he awesome? He's such a cool dog.

I also got to run Tate the 9.5 year old Rough Collie and wow he runs fast for an old boy! It's always a cool learning experience running a dog that isn't yours. Every dog has a different style that works for them and you really have to learn to adapt. 

We also had a huge crowd hit with Sarah's Gyppie with a little Border Collie sized saddle on!  She ran the barrels in the barrel race so fast even with that awkward thing on her back, such an amazing little dog!
