It's been a great season for All Four Paws; our handlers and dogs have been going from strength to strength!
Both Sue and Taz and Susan and Emma were just starting out in Grade 1 last summer. Now Sue and Taz are Grade 3, and Susan and Emma are now Grade 5! Emma and Jess have gone from Grade 3 to Grade 5, and Emma's Kobi has also got several placings under his belt after just 5 months of competing. Emma and Diva are also getting ever closer to their G3 win, even having taken most of the winter off.
We're looking forward to seeing Tori and Baxter, Adele and Skye, Susan and Eddie, Lynda and Darcy, and Leanne and Rio starting out in the next few months, either in Grade 1 or Grade 3.

Winter Season Continues
The winter season is rolling on even with the dark nights and cold weather really setting in. A few boring club notices before we get on to the congrats!Our last training session in December will be Tuesday 17th and this will be our Christmas training night, where we will play a few games and have a few cakes! We'll be back at training again on Tuesday 7th January 2014.
On to the well-deserved congratulations - the results have been rolling in!
We said it wouldn't be long until Sue and Taz were winning, and they proved us right with a 1st in G1 Jumping at Hare'n'Hounds Halloween show! They followed it up a month later with a 1st in G1 Agility, putting them neatly into Grade 2 for the new year!
Emma and Kobi got their first clear round, and both are looking more and more confident with every run.
Hare'n'Hounds Halloween was Emma and Jess's last G3 show. They went out with a bang, winning another 1st in G3 Agility, as well as a 2nd in Jumping and 4th in G3 Agility! Just to follow up those fantastic results, at their first two G4 shows, Emma and Jess picked up a 3rd and a 6th in G4 Jumping and then promptly picked up a 1st in G4 Agility, moving them up to Grade 5!Emma and Diva have been out at Hare'n'Hounds Christmas show this weekend, no rosettes but some excellent runs. Fingers crossed for the last show of 2013 in a few weeks ...
Susan and Emma have also been out and about, a double day at Hare'n'Hounds Christmas show leaving them with a 3rd and two 2nds in C1-3 classes. Great results!
Finally, Leanne and Dylan picked up a 4th in G6-7 Agility at Wilmslow DTC
We just have a few more shows on the calendar for 2013, and then it's into the New Year with a bang!

Catch-Up Congrats!
It's been a busy six weeks at All Four Paws, and we've been a bit remiss about congratulating some of our members, especially since they've been doing so well!
Leanne and Dylan picked up a 7th in the Dog Vegas/First Contact G6 Qualifier at Agility Nuts, giving them a Reserve Finalist place for the 2014 Final.
Emma and Diva took some time off in September but came back with a bang at Lune Valley, grabbing a fantastic 4th in G1-4 Jumping.
Emma and Jess have been chasing the magic 1st place all summer, and with plenty of top-5 placings under their belt, we had a feeling it wasn't far off. They picked up that all-important 1st at South Durham in G3 Agility, which takes them to Grade 4. Fantastic news, and followed up promptly with a 2nd in G3 Agility at Wigton!
Sue and Taz have also been edging closer to their first clear round all summer. They picked up two 1sts at South Durham in G1 Agility, unfortunately both with 5f but it won't be long 'til they're out of G1, as they went clear in the C1-7 ABC class at Wigton and came 8th.
We're now firmly into the indoor winter season and are looking forward to the months ahead. We also have a few announcements coming up!

August Updates!
Susan and Emma were at Dog Vegas again on Sunday, and with another win in the 1-3 Jumping class, they are now Grade 3! Fantastic news and we don't think they'll be hanging around on Grade 3 for long.We also wish them both the best of luck at Letchworth this weekend in the ABC.
Training Update
We are now full again in all our classes and don't anticipate any spaces opening up until the New Year. We do run a waiting list, but with those who have either no prior agility experience, or have new dogs, we strongly recommend the Agility Skills classes we run in association with North K9.Sunday, 18 August 2013
UKA Sutton Weavers
All Four Paws had a great day this weekend at Sutton Weavers!
Leanne and Dylan picked up a 2nd in Senior Jumping and a 1st in Champ Steeplechase, great results!
Susan and Emma continued their brilliant form, with a 1st in Beginners Jumping, an NQ 1st in Beginners Gamblers, and a 3rd in Beginners Steeplechase. Can't keep this little Beagle down!
Susan and Eddie ran in Nursery, where Eddie did his first Aframe and Dogwalk faultlessly, despite an E later on the tough course.
Nicolle and Roxy also made their debut; Roxy has not been the easiest dog, she finds travelling very stressful and is very sensitive to any nerves or anxiety that Nicolle might be feeling. It's not easy to banish the nerves at your first competition, but this team ran a beautiful NFC clear round in Beginners Steeplechase. We're very proud of both of them!
Leanne and Rio should have been competing at this show as well, but unfortunately Rio has sliced her pad open. We wish her a speedy recovery!

A Final July Update!
Susan and Emma were off at Dog Vegas this weekend, where they promptly picked up another 1st in the C1-2 Jumping, and a 1st in the G1-2 Agility with 5f. That's a 1st place from every KC show they've attended so far, and they just need one more jumping win until Grade 3 (or one clear round agility win!).
Susan and Eddie also got a great clear round in the Anysize Helter Skelter!

July Round Up
The hot weather hasn't deterred our A4P competitors from their shows!
At UKA Dig It, Geoff and Charlie had their first show for nearly 12months, and picked up a 3rd in a very competitive Beginners Steeplechase class.
Leanne and Dylan picked up a 1st in Senior Jumping and a 2nd in Champ Steeplechase.
At the same show, Leanne's young dog Rio made her debut, as did Geoff's youngster Sue. Both did fantastically!
A few weeks later and we were back in action at Empingham, a weekend of mixed results! Susan and Emma were the only ones to grab some rosettes, at their second ever KC show and their first Grade 2 outing. They came 1st in the G1-2 Jumping, and then a 2nd in the C1-3 Jumping! Won't be long until these two are out of Grade 2 as well.
Empingham also saw Susan's young dog Eddie do his first run in Allsorts Jumping. He did his mum Emma proud with a brilliant run!
