    Yes Flyball, Obedience (Clover is back in trial training) & herding (I dont look at herding as a sport though). I would love to do Agility with Elvis but never have the time to start.

    Yep, agility with Jack. He absolutely loves it, and so do I! We have our second trial coming up on Aug. 12th and 13th.

    I'd love to get Kyra involved in Flyball, I think she'd enjoy it, but my mom might just do agility with her. In the future I'd like to get Jack involved in Obedience and possibly Rally.

    edit: Just wanted to add that I'd also like to get involved in freestyle with Jack in the future.

    Autumn knows how to do agility, but there is nothing in the area for agility. There isn't even a place for us to practice except our own yard. There is a
    4-h agility competition but I'm an adult and I'm also not involved in 4-h so I can't do that. She used to know herding commands. Imagine a toller entering a herding competition!

    Nope. I do think that Ethan would be good at a some kind of agility or something, but he is so timid in public places with people... heck, you never know, some kind of sport might help to open him up. Anyway, the only place that offers agility is an hour away, and gas prices are too insane for that right now.

    I have not done any in a while, just because its all on weekends and I work on weekends. but I have competed in Flyball, Agility, Rally-Obedience,and Musical Freestyle, my my dogs are trained in barral racing, some herding, disc dog, weight pull, bike-joring, and Obedience. with Electra I plan to TRY and show her lightly when possable, I will Join StubbleJumpers mostly to help out the toller folks :P (all the Tollers in my city are part of stublejumpers and they have a bit of a rivalry with the Collie people in the club,and they need more Tollers lol) and as she is a breeding prospect and I am a stickler for working ability I would like to try out for some working titles as well. I also plan to do agility and obedience with her(I enjoy obedience but I cant compete with Happy and Misty for various reasons)

    I took a few agility classes with Nebo but have never competed in any dog sports.
