Very cute! That's a RED-tri Aussie.

So, you're into agility?

Gabbie is an Australian Shepherd. She is the reason we started doing agility - she needed a job, very driven. We do mostly AKC, because that is what our local kennel club sponsors, but we have done some USDAA also. She has her Excellent and Excellent Jumpers titles, but would probably be on the world team if she were not stuck with me as her handler - I am definitely the weak link of the team, my first agility dog. We live between Indianapolis and Chicago so we a lot of trialing in IN, IL, OH, MI, and KY. We also go to Montgomery, AL once a year to see friends, and wouldn't you know it, there always just happens to be an agility trial that weekend, so we enter it. We would be there this weekend, except Gabbie has been out for a few months due to a shoulder tendon injury. I want to branch out a bit to other places just for a change -- if we're ever considering Atlanta we'll need to hook up and run Freeper Pairs! Have fun -- run clean, run fast!

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?
