Another agility enthusiast! And a BIG jumper! From the looks of that jump you are at a USDAA event. How much do you trial? What area of the country?

Always glad to meet another Agility Person! What kind of dog do you have?

We trial mostly USDAA, some AKC, never tried NADAC although it's pretty big around here (Atlanta GA area). We don't travel very far afield because there are a lot of trials right here, and I promised myself after trekking all over the country showing Siamese cats 25 years ago that I would never do that again!

She gives the jumps a lot of air, which is spectacular looking but slows her down. (At least it means she never knocks a bar. Now, about contacts . . . < g > ) She has her Agility Dog title in USDAA and 2 Qs in Advanced . . . she has her Open and Open Jumpers titles in AKC. Not bad for an amateur handler on her first dog -- she could have really been something with proper training from the beginning.

She also has her UKC Started Hunting Retriever title and is working on her Seasoned . . . we may go for Junior Hunter in AKC first, don't know.

Do you ever trial here in the SE? I'm a member at Sirius Dog Agility over in Decatur, they put on 3-4 trials a year. Double Gamblers and Snooker at every trial, Pairs Relay one day. Plus if you work 6 classes you get a free sweatshirt and they feed you lunch . . . it's a pretty fun scene.
