My Story:

Rehomed my dog from Dogs Trust over 4 yrs ago. She had been mistreated and then left tied to a gate. We have attended basic obedience classes and she is now much more sociable around other dogs. I started to compete in companion dog shows two years ago and she has done really well. We started agility last year as a way of chanelling her excess energy and she has taken to it well. We have competed in UKA competitions and have won a few rosettes - much to my surprise! Hoping to start kc agility soon!! We are hooked!
In May 2008 I rehomed a Manchester terrier through British Manchester terrier club. We have begun agility training but he is also doing well at breed shows.
