I have trained and shown dogs since I was as a junior handler, back in high school. I have owned and trained 4 breeds, representing 3 groups: herding (shelties and border collies), sporting (english cockers) and terrier (airedale).
I currently have 3 english cockers - 2 that are retired and 1 youngster born in Oct 2006, and a RED border collie born in August 2007. You can meet them, as well as the dogs from my past, elsewhere on this site.
I have competed successfully in conformation, obedience, agility, and tracking. Agility is my main passion. I have also done some training in freestyle, field work, and herding (OK, I introduced one dog to sheep!)
