Name: Becky Leighton
Dog(s): Flynn, Max, Ren, Tilley and Wren

Our Story:

Max - My little stubborn old man, loves agility. It took nearly 2 years to be able to do a full set of weaves reliably. He is my first agility dog and is an ex-stray, hence his kennel club name.

Reliably can get clear rounds, but age is showing, as the speed isn't really there anymore. Few mistakes, which usually are because I still think he is younger than he is.

Max has had 3 large operations to remove lumps from his shoulder, the last being in February 2006. The last op really hit him hard physically, but also proved that he missed agility so much during his recooperation, that I suspect he will be competing with the doggy equivalent of a zimmer frame.

Unfortunatly, Max passed over on 26 May 2007. He had yet another op on his shoulder in Febuary, but never totally recovered. The cancer then spread to his liver and kidneys, and I had to make what was a very difficult decision.

Jazz - She was a Pointer cross from the NCDL and I had her for about 3 years. Her main problems were nervous barking and excitability. She won't be competing this summer (2005), but she is much better than she was when she first came.

Unfortunatly, I lost Jazz in January 2006. Her kidneys gave out after she ate something, currently unknown.

Flynn - Flynn is my new retreiver cross puppy.
He is also from the Dog's Trust, and is the first (and probably last) puppy that has been in the house for the last 20 years. I'm sure it was much easier the last time round!

Flynn won't be old enough to compete untill May 2007, so watch this space.

Flynn is now competing on a regular basis. We either do great, or terribly badly. There have been a couple of places, and we are hoping to improve this winter.

Ren Ren is an 8 month old collie from the Dogs Trust - seems to be a bit of a thing going on there! I know, succumbed to the whole collie/agility thing. He is a black and white, with lots of naughty spots, and one day soon the cats might move back into the house! Many of you will know that I went looking for an ABC, and for some reason came back with a collie! but there you go, you can't have everything. He starts his training next week, so fingers crossed.

Me - Mainly I do agility to give my dogs something to focus on and because we enjoy it, but really, because I was mad enough to answer the advert in the Pet section of the Worcester Evening News 7 years ago.

To be fair, you get less for stealing a car. But on the whole, I have enjoyed it, although sometimes I seriously wonder at 5.30(am or pm, it is interchangeable) on a Saturday when it is pouring it down with rain.
