Qualifying in both the Excellent B Standard Agility class and the Excellent B Jumpers With Weaves class on the same day equals one Double Q.

Tango and Sophie - October 2009

When I lead out on course, every single time, there is one last thing I say to myself before I turn around to release my dog.

I pause, take a breath and think... "I love this dog with all my heart... "

You never, ever know when you won't have your beloved companion any longer.  You never know if the run you're about to enjoy is the last one you'll ever have together.

You'd better enjoy every single moment while you can.  If you do not, you will have missed the only lesson that really matters... the pure enjoyment that comes from the love and companionship of a trusted, loyal and loving canine partner.
