    I've done agility with Oz and we may go back to it for fun. I don't know if we'll ever compete though. He really loves frisbee better and woo he's been making some spectacular catches lately. There is a frisbee club downtown, so we might consider joining that.

    Gull loves dancing and frisbee. For a Collie, he's pretty good at fetch too, so I could see him liking flyball. But really, his true love is the dancing. He gets so excited, whenever I get up and dance. I've taught him a couple moves, but I need to be more disciplined to train him something everyday.

    I do agility with Hunter and he loves it, I've thought about testing him for herding, but I'm not sure, he's seen sheep and seemed interested but it's about a 45 min drive whereas agility is 5 min, so that wins for now. Nikka has had hip surgery because of hip dysplasia, Bear arthritis, and Savannah can be dog aggressive so he's pretty much my only shot.

    I did agility with Nebo for a while. It was fun and he was doing quite well in it. I'd like to do it again but I haven't found any place close.

    Showing dogs does sound like fun, but I don't think I could ever have an unaltered dog.

    Nebo has little interest in frisbees, he likes water but won't swim let alone jump off a dock, and he loves to run but I think he'd just run off with flyball...so that's about it... Oh yeah and I really did want to have him be a therapy dog but he's just not that fond of people petting him and he's afraid of strangers most of the time so it wouldn't work! Hmm Sydney likes people though maybe I could try it with her...

    Currently Clover and Elvis are competing in Flyball, Elvis' team in the top in the state at the moment, for both speed and consistency . We are having a little herding break at the moment until we can find some time to get back into it every week, hopefully we will be starting up again soon.

    Clover is in training for her 1st Obedience title (CD - Companion Dog). *Cough* And Elvis well lets just say we will be going for that title for the next 10 years .

    Elvis and i are starting Agility soon aswell, and he is getting pretty good at catching the frisbee. Clover is going for her therapy dog assesment this month sometime.

    Wow reading through that we are pretty busy but it keeps the dogs happy and sane.

    I love all the dog sports and activities. I admire all of you who take so much time to work with your pups. I have no clue how to get involved in such things and I don't think my girls would be interested in it. When Katie and I did obedience school we did have a day where we did agility and she was extremely stubborn. I'm just a lazy dog owner though

    Last saturday was Snowy's last agility training She only had 5 classes this year, it's a pity really because she really enjoyed it. I can hardly wait for the class to start again in March. We're still doing obediance training but I don't think Snowy enjoys it as much as the agility.

    thanks k9krazee for the signature!
