Ok, so I am procrastinating big time at work
Thought I would ask everyone how they got hooked on their doggie sport of choice. I'll start:
About 11 years ago I had a dal, Reese that I started taking obediences classes with. This was a family dog type class, not competition obedience. After I had taken all the levels (3 levels I think) I wanted to do more. My obedience instructor bred and showed Gordon Setters in the breed ring. She told me she was thinking about taking an agility class with an instructor in the next town and maybe I would be interested?
So that was 11 years ago....the Gordon Setter lady only took one agility session, I on the other hand was hooked for life. I was 100% addicted! I took classes and showed regularly until Reese got sick. Reese passed away a few years ago and now I have 2 JRT, Dasher will be 3 in Oct. and he has been showing almost a year. Zip is my rescue that I have had since the end of June. He is taking classes and hopefully he will start in the spring. I did a lot of AKC showing with Reese as AKC shows were more prevalent in my area at the time. Now I show 99% USDAA with the jacks. I just find USDAA to be more fun/challenging so I stick with what is most fun for us.
Can't wait to hear everyone's stories....opcorn:
