12/05/2007: Bilbo gets a 4th in Grade 3 agility at Godmanchester!

Bilbo is an incredibly clever dog — the sort of dog who, when you switch on the hose for his favourite game of getting drenched in the garden, first checks that he really couldn't switch the tap on himself next time! His intelligence means that he learns new things very fast. Of course, he also does tend to get bored with them fairly quickly — he was doing very reliable "B" scent within a couple of weeks, but another month later he became more interested in the smells on the ground...

Being a Schnauzer means that he needs a firm hand, but it also means that he absolutely loves showing off! He loved his time in the breed ring, although due to his unexpected castration in 2006, he has now retired from the show rings. We are focusing on his agility at the moment — he is really enjoying himself, his contacts are often his downfall, but if he makes them, he frequently gets a place in agility. He is surprisingly fast for a non collie, and boy is it different running a Schnauzer to a Border Collie!
