First Agility Class!

Hey folks...guess what...I had the best time on Saturday coz Mum took me to my first agility class...how much fun was that!!!

Coz I'm only little I can't do proper jumps yet (like wot Radar does!) but Aunty Jo, my teacher, said it was ok to run between the wings of the jumps & to go through the tunnels. Plus she's got a baby dog-walk so I got to try that out too. Aunty Jo said that I had to listen to Mum very carefully & do what she told me...I learnt 3 new commands..."jump", "tunnel" & "walk"...am I clever or what!!!

Dad came to watch me & took some videos...have a watch & see what you think:

Can you get Rio to give Fergus some lessons??!!!! The teacher said she has never known such a laid back dog as Fergus, he shows no enthusiasm whatsover and just plods round like its all beneath him hehehehe
Great to see Rio enjoying himself

About our boys!

Radar & Rio are two very handsome, very lovable & very precious Hungarian Vizslas.
Radar was born on 26th May 2007 & was one of 8 pups. In the beginning he was known as Mr Purple - his first collar (which we've still got!) was a bit of purple wool!! His KC name is Kenazorora Kaetano...a bit of a mouth-full but pretty cool none-the-less!
Rio was born on 15th January 2010...bizarrely, he was also a Mr Purple...not that that influenced us in any way! He too was one of 8 pups & is in fact Radar's nephew...though we think of them as brothers! His KC name is Adolphustown Acorn.

FRENCH HEARTWORM

We almost lost Radar to this horrible parasite in March 2008 - we would hate any other dog to go through what he did (or owners for that matter!). Please be aware that it is now prevalent in the UK particularly along the South Coast. The signs & symptoms are many & varied but include:

A gradual onset of progressively worsening signs of lung and/or heart disease
Chronic cough
Breathing problems
Exercise intolerance
Loss of appetite
Gagging
Weight loss
Swelling, bruising, fluid build –up in the stomach
Prolonged clotting times
Vomiting
Seizures
Loss of consciousness may also occur

French Heartworm CAN be treated and CAN be prevented but not by the usual worming treatments. If you suspect your dog is affected PLEASE see your vet sooner rather than later!
