Katie - 21.06.00 - 26.7.10

Our beloved Katie was taken ill on Monday 26th July and sadly the Vet could not save her.   The greatest hunter we will ever have and probably the best footballer! She was a special one, unique in many ways, but always keen to help and one of the many dogs that have taught us so much over the years.  She will be much missed by us all and we would like to thank everyone for their kind wishes and support.

Our Dogathon attracted a loyal crowd and the winners this time were:

We were also delighted to meet the Malamutes and see them racing and keeping fit, finding out more about this fascinating breed from their rescue stall and meet the dogs - all organised by Louise and her friends.  They were so kind to give up their spare time - we hope they managed to enjoy themselves, we know that the dogs did.

Dogathon 2 - September 5th at Rushmoor Arena

Another glorious day made sure that everyone had a great time at our second Dogathon of the year.  Entrants were surprised at how easy it was to have fun with their dogs and yet still be competitive.  it was great to see so many people do so well and  the dogs behave impeccably, well done to all those who joined in.  We hope to see you all again at our final event later in the year provisional date 14th November at our Winter fundraising special.

The winners this event were:

Overall winner:  Tony with Holly the Boxer with Linda and Holly the GSD as runner up.

Social Skills was won by Laura with Phoebe, the chocolate Labrador

Cross Country was won by Linda with her GSD, Holly with Adam and Vicky winning the questions section with their dog Gemma.

As all these owners have had some challenges to meet with their dogs, it was wonderful to see their efforts so well rewarded.

The Walkabout Dogathon-1  2009     

We all had great fun at the first Dogathon-1 on the 23rd May at the Rushmoor Arena and we were delighted to see so many old friends and their dogs come and take part.  We were blessed with kind weather and following the dressage/obedience test, there was a race around the centre to find all the treasure in the cross country. Then the show jumping—or rather the agility.  We had designed the course so that everyone could take part and enjoy their dogs and despite  keen competitiveness amongst some, it was the steady work by Neil and Tony that made sure of a lower penalty rate and resulting in overall winner and runner up position.  The winners of each section also were awarded with trophies to recognise their skill in each section.

Overall Winner Neil Aust with Elsa, is joined here by  Tony Mulcahy with Miska as overall runner up and also the winners of each of the sections.

In the centre are:

Helen Thomas with Bill who won the Dressage section

Alex Collins with Arnie who won the Agility section

James Vacher with Marley who won the Cross Country section

Well done to everyone who took part - see you next time.

We were delighted to see so many people attend our comic relief effort on Saturday at Rushmoor and well done to everyone who had a go on the agility. We hope to see you at our Sunday afternoon sessions very soon. Here are some photos of some of the dogs at the social session - the teenagers were definitely showing signs of "spring".
