A day in CNEMA 2010
The Portugal Day started with rain and it was forecast to rain all day.
For most people, rain doesn’t affect them, but for us, showing dogs with long groomed hair, was not easy. Besides that, a rumor passed by that we weren’t allowed to park near the ring, so we were expecting to be all day under rain and walking thorough mud.
With all this, the will to go began to be very small !
Fortunately the organization allowed us to park near the showing ring, that provided a dry cover when it was raining, and properly parked, we didn’t need to go through the mud. A big relive for the exhibitors!
We had also luck in the moment that we show our dogs, since the rain stopped and some sun started to shown.
This was the dog show sector !
In the agility sector everything went also on wheels. With the permission to park near the agility ring, it allowed the competitors and organizers to have the dogs near and, in the occasionally rain, to take shelter in the cars.
The CNEMA organization also provided some help during the trial that gave a big relief to the organizer club, Os Cãoguros, and added more flexibility in changing tracks and placing the obstacles and equipment. A very pleasant surprise for me !
Me and my Australian Shepherd, Angel, had the first competition experience and, if we don’t count my fall in the first track and licking bath by Angel, was a very positive one.
The opportunity to also participate in the organization of the trial gave a very rewarding experience, since only sharing and learning with other people, who compete in this sport for a long time, we learn valuable lessons.
In all, it was a very well spent day ;) only with very few photos :(

Belém - First Agility experience
Never before I had attended an official Agility trial and Caoguros gave me that opportunity,

The stage was its gardens, in front of the unforgettable Monastery of Jerónimos and the famous house of the Pasteis de Belém. Everything there shows the story, tradition and true Portuguese culture.
It starts with the maintenance and checking the condition of the obstacles. Then we have to load the obstacles, transport then to the trial site, put together the track and help the judge to place the obstacles. Finally all the documentation must be very carefully made and it is necessary to support all competitors and the judge.
Of course, on the lunch break, me and my Australian Shepherd, Angel, went to try the first level course and it went quite well. Hopefully, next time we are also in the competition.
Without any doubt an unforgettable experience of social interaction with people that work on one of the most enjoyable sports with dogs.
My thanks to the Os Cãoguros for this memorable experience !

My sun is training her Golden to Obedience, but since I love Agility and have the chance to take him time to time to my class, I decided that he could improve is relation with Bianca, by training on the obstacles.
Only Bianca, with her Golden Retriever, temperament show a never ending patient for everything my sun asks from her.
