It seems like forever ago, but I guess it was sometime in early 2000 that a trainer suggested that I try agility with Bear, to strengthen our relationship. "But," she cautioned me, "A rescue dog really can't be expected to compete with dogs that have been brought up with one home since puppyhood." Well, 4 years later, with 19 titles and 4 national qualifying scores under his furry belt, I'd say Bear proved her wrong.
Agility is a sport that ANY dog can play. Sure, some are faster, or drivier, but there's something to be said for the steady, reliable, 'old slipper' kind of dogs like Bear. Currently, Bear competes in AAC, where he recently completed his Veterans Agility Trial Champion of Canada (VATChC) title. We also play in NADAC, where Bear is in a little bit of everything, from Novice to Elite.
