Comet from the first time I met him to today.........

Comet is a Border Collie I waited a year for!  It was great that I had so long to plan for his arrival and the planning of his training could begin.  When the Giftnell Litter was born I had no idea which puppy I was getting.  I only found out I was getting Comet at 6 weeks of age.
The first time I saw Comet when he was 2 days old I had told my mom he is the one I want!  I was SURE i was going to get him!  6 weeks later - Onel sent out an email telling me that I was getting Comet :)  The excitement grew even more!  When Comet was old enough I started puppy agility and socialising at Tracey Landers Puppy School....BEST MOVE EVER!  Tracey helped me build up the MOST WONDERFUL bond with Comet and help me ignore his bad habbits and helped me encourage his GREAT HABITS!! :)  Comet graduated and moved on to BIG school with Noelene Pretorious at KAD in Kyalami.  Another BRILLIANT MOVE!!!  Noelene is helping Comet and I as a team so much and we are working together brilliantly!  Comet is responding to me like a champ and to top it off, he LOVES Agility!  Speed, Speed, Speed and Control!! :)  This young man is going to take me far!!! :) 

Comet and I have also now started training in Flyball and he is doing BRILLIANTLY!! :)

My biggest goal with Comet is to Compete overseas in the Agility World Championships!

The way im going to get there - FUN, AGILITY TRAINING and NO PRESSURE on my dog!!!

Watch this boys progress!
