Dog:

 

Cass: Border Collie 1988-2003. Mother of Trix.  Dagmar did not discovered agility till 1996, by which time Cass was to old to teach the finer art of this sport.

Cass however was a smart dog, took to obedience well, but most of all enjoyed large spaces where she could do her outward runs, just as if she had been trained to work sheep. Mainly she rounded up people & toys.  In 1994 Cass had a wonderful litter of six puppies and Dagmar kept Trix

Trix: Border Collie, born in December 1994, and both Trix and Dagmar took their very first agility steps in 1996.  The comments from Trix’s first agility trainer’s were ‘she was born to do agility’.  Great, fast, little border collie, who competed at the top level of this sport for seven years.  Trix has been retired from agility due to cruciate knee injury.

Highlights of her career: Winning the Agility Eye Senior Dog league in 2002 for the South East Region, and qualifying for the mini/maxi pairs final at Crufts in 2003.

Babsie Boo, known as Babs, born  March 2000,  Working Sheep Dog. Babs took to agility really well, and as  novice dog had a great first season.  Qualified as a senior dog late 2003, and probably the best is yet to come from her.  Slowly moving towards advanced status.

Best moments so far, coming third in the Trek Pairs final when she was only three, with Jacky Slater and Lucy.

 

 

Agility:

Dagmar has been involved in dog training and dog agility for approximately 10 years.  She is a qualified dog agility instructor (First Class), and has been Judging at Agility shows for the last six years. Her interest when working with dogs either in basic behavioral training or training a dog in agility is the importance of the Dog/Handler relationship.  Many of the skills she draws on come from her therapeutic work, where the relationship with an individual is central.
