Do other agility enthusiasts know more about this?
As far as I know this is the first time?? They are ADAA ppl (not surprisingly). Can't take their dogs, obviously, so are borrowing some.
And Cathy Slot (who owns a Koolie) is judging.
I'm so excited.

i am not sure but i think you could be right about this being the first lot. borrowing dogs could be their down fall i feel that you have to know and work with the dog and get it to bond to you for it to put in 100% for you, but it's great news anyway. i am not a cathy fan, i have meet her a few times at trails.

I agree. The really good trainers can meet a dog and do really well with it from the beginning, but when it comes to competing against the best in the world, that isn't likely to be good enough.

About Cathy, I don't know her at all well, but have been to a couple of workshops at her house (unfortunately Porsche hadn't arrived then), and I like and admire her.
