I posted these backwards 🤦‍♀️😆

Saturday morning saw Falkor and Mirabel attend their final Introduction to Nosework class. We managed to get some outdoor practice in before the extreme weather hit (including thunder, lightning and heavy rain) and we moved back indoors for the remainder of the class.

I am so proud of how my dogs have come along in such a short time and in particular how it has helped build Falkor's confidence in himself. He is very attached to me and typically waits for me to give him an instruction or permission to do something but Scentwork requires a bit more independence and it's been lovely to see him go from sitting at my feet asking for help in the first session to practically dragging me to the right place by the end.

Mirabel also loves it, though has a very different style. She is naturally more independent and a bit less serious (okay, a lot less serious!).

We will now look towards the next step, which is Introduction to Odour.

Thank you to our instructor Simone for the classes and these photos 🥰

Saturday evening saw us attend the Working Dog Club of Victoria Howl-o-ween show, where Falkor was awarded best of breed and Mirabel runner up.
It was just us present but if we don't get out there, people won't get to see this amazing breed.
Our judge was Mr Billy Henderson all the way from Ireland.

It was quite the late night with us leaving the grounds just before 11pm and arriving home around 1:30am but we had such a great time, this club always puts on a fabulous event.

One more day of dog shows for Team Mirare yesterday. We headed off to the Bulla showgrounds for a double show held by the Romsey Kennel Club.
It was Mirabel's day with both judges selecting her for Best of Breed and Falkor Runner Up.

No photos from the show itself but I did remember to take some from the obligatory chicken nugget stop on the way home 😆

We've now got a break from shows for a few weeks but will be doing some other exiting things which I will post about later!
