Smile for the camera

Dare is weave obsessed - its her favourite piece of equipment

She is extremely agile and focused on her job

In 2002, Dare won out of Novice and into Senior in her first season. In fact her second clear round at a show resulted in her winning the class. She qualified for the Final of the 2002 Adams Derby, where in the final, she was let down by me!

In June 2003 she achieved Advanced Agility status, and is hoping to add some cc's to her many trophies and rosettes.

And in July 2003 she achieved her first FD certificate for BFA flyball, but we no longer take part due to increased agility competition.

She has qualified for a number of finals, but never quite gone all the way. At the World Championship qualifiers in 2004, she finished equal 7th, an improvement on her 9th the previous year. In the 2005 finals she finished 10th.

She is an extremely fast and opinionated dog, and it took me a while to learn how to handle her successfully. She was taught with a combination of traditional motivation methods and clicker.

The first few months of 2003 and 2004, and 2006 were spent raising her new family. She has been eye tested clear but carrying and her hips are 5:5. Dares final litter was born 2007.
