Zebedee, owned by Jo Davidson-Poston, is just as happy in the agility ring as the show ring. His first ever
competiton was just for fun and to keep his brother company at SKC as he had only ever had 6 lessons. He actually won BOB and was shortlisted in the group at the Championship show, and then beat his brother in the agility! He does not compete that much anymore due to time constraints, but he easily
runs clear rounds and has been placed and has competed both here in the UK
and in Ireland. Jo says the only thing that lets him down is his owner!

Harlie, owned by Denise Welsh, managed to qualify for the Eukanuba Challenge at Crufts at the age of six. She has qualified for the last three years, both in the mini/maxi which is a competition for a combination of one standard dog and one mini, one course is cut in half, the standard does one side and the mini the other, there is a batten change and the fastest clear pair win. Great fun.
Also Harlie has qualified for the circular knockout, two dogs of the same size, negotiate a circular course, the dogs start opposite each other in a clockwise direction, and again the fastest clear wins.
The place every competitive agility handler wants to be, in this country, is Olympia in December, it is very difficult to get there, only the first two dogs in the first qualifying heats go through to the semi finals, then the first ten go through to the Final. Harlie has got to the semi's in 2001 and has just done it again in May.

This little black and white dog is now six and is owned and loved by Alison Grimes. A rehome dog who is proving to be very good at agility and should go far, he has had many places and is knocking on the door of first place.

Whizz came to Denise Welsh as a rehome at about thirteen months old, and started training straight away. He took to his agility training willingly just wanting to please, he is now competing and has four clear rounds to his name in both jumping and agility, a lovely happy boy who also does well in the show ring.

Foxy, a 10 inch Papillon owned and adored by Angie Tydeman, came from the Blue Cross Animal Centre and is now doing agility. He is very keen indeed and tries his heart out to make sure he does not make a mistake, he is doing clear rounds and last week got his first place a 5th
