I just got home from my participating in my second WAO (World Agility Open) event held in Oviedo, Spain. Some consider this one of the four "world championship" type agility events; FCI in October, European Open in July, WAO in May and IFCS held every [...]
Well after the past few months focusing entirely on Feature's agility Swagger finally got his turn. This weekend I decided to enter a trial north of Toronto. This is Swagger's first time at a trial in 3 months. I actually only put him back on [...]
The year’s FCI world championships were such an amazing event for me. John and I had a little vacation with our friends Martina & Carlo (ok mostly it was Martina and I talking about dogs). We did some sightseeing,  I did some shopping and then [...]

Today I will go over some of my  rounds at the WAO. Sadly for Encore all of my clean runs were with Feature -- that is no reflection on Encore whatsoever! The first run for Feature was Individual agility -- the first run in the [...]
Feature's puppy has taken over my life. I just can't get any work done he is sooo darn cute, I can just sit and watch him all day long . . . and I do! He is no longer going by his puppy name of [...]
