Not the most embarrassing but a giggle anyway.
This time last year Freddy and I were attending the Weim Club of GB Fun Day. They were offering a chance to do the KCGC Bronze and foolishly I thought he would be fine apart from the 1 minute stay. We sailed through the lead walking, grooming etc then it was the recall. No worries thought I as it was fairly set up and that morning he had been doing lovely work on the agility course so I assumed I had him!!
His recall included exploring the whole field perimeter and moving onto the adjacent cricket pitch where the wicket proved so tempting for a quick pee!! After 10 mins or so he decided to deign to return to the field I was on, I pipped his whistle and the
dear delightful dog decided now was the time to do a perfect, fast, straight recall and sit perfectly in front with tongue lolling and grin on face

. Bless the examiner, he said well - you should manage your stay ok (I had told him I had a dog with issues about me walking away). So we move into an enclosed area on the field for the stays - not a chance, now Fred has me back I am not allowed to leave him for a fraction and he will just not cooperate!!
The shame was that all the weims (even the babies) all passed!!!
Freddy has since managed his Bronze and we are currently working for his Silver
