It was nice to meet up with Nigel and Bev from Cumbria with their Talraz boys Monty and Bertie, at Duncombe park just 25 minutes away taking part in a large four-day agility event.

We watched some of their runs, and they looked pretty good to our uncritical eyes, especially Monty who was well placed in a huge class!

 It was also great for Diva and Beattie to meet up with their respective litter brothers, and to catch up with our friends and exchange dog stories.  Though the scene was dominated by the usual Border Collies and working sheepdogs, there was a nice sprinkling of Beardies, Beardie crosses, and working beardies, so a very interesting and relaxing way to spend Good Friday afternoon!
