Kris, Well congratulations! A great brag and a great team, Lexi didn't do it alone! As for the brag check, why not send it to Joye Neff for the current Berner-Garde fundraiser? I'd name that Costco Berner Lexi if I were you... http://www.overthefence.com/helpberners/bg/#top Hugs to Lexi!!

. Also consider Abby's jumping style. Does she come down hard or does she jump very smoothly? Jumping is much harder on the front than the rear, generally. Also think about your dog's conditioning. Does she just lie about or is she very active? I have been competing in agility for a

There is a lot that an eight month old can do in agility, but I would not jump even 12 inches with a puppy. There are so many other things to learn in agility that there is no rush to jump more than a few inches. Once the growth plates close, jump training can begin in earnest. Halo is three

Hi L'ers, Daisy (now 3 years old) loves her agility classes. My husband Jack has made several jumps, the tire jump, weave poles (with springs) and is now working on the dog walk. Does anyone doing agility know of a good book that suggests ways to teach your dog how to do the obstacles?

We have returned from Houston Texas. The AKC Nationals were once again a great experience. Both Lexi and Kintla ran great, and represented the breed well. Katie and Kintla has a spectacular run on Sunday's "hybrid" course, which was kind of a combo standard/JWW. Lexi ran that course great too.
