From left to right Dawn's dogs are Amber 14, Collie X rescued 14 weeks as heading to kennels. Now retired got to novice UKA they didn't compete for a few years as she was a 'runner'! She also competed in flyball.
Austyn 4, rescued at 14 weeks from Stockenchurch Dog Rescue, a working sheep dog bright as a button but her work ethic is to get from a to b as quickly as possible - even if it means knocking jumps, trashing tyres and breaking weave poles along the way! Still G1 and beginner UKA! Her flyball career has been more successful!
Dharma 13, Rotti X rescued from Binfield Dog Rescue at 6 months and wasn't good with other dogs. still competing a late developer achieved senior steeplechase, 2 points off senior performance and G3 KC.
Lemmy 2, Welsh sheep dog rescued from DBARC at 9 months. absolute goofball but we love him he is a work in progress both in flyball and agility.
