Brown
Sugar
Sugar
is handled by Karen Manton; she's a thinking kelpie who also loves
herding. Sugar sustained an injury in a hind leg as a puppy and
had a pin inserted but this didn't stop her from being active and
enjoying her agility. She's even come back recently from a tear
in a cruciate to be healthy, strong and active and to enjoy her
agility and herding in moderation.

Buckley
Buckley
is handled by Marty Bois. Tall, handsome and blue-eyed, Buckley
is the Romeo of the agility scene. But not just a pretty face, this
Aussie is talented too with both an AAC (Australian Agility Champion)
title and an Australian Jumping Dog title under his belt.

Cooper
Cooper
is handled by Sam Bois. He has retired from agility after a great
career, made even more special as he had two hip operations due
to hip displaysia. Read Cooper's
Story here.

Emmy
Emmy
is handled by Emma Unsworth. Emmy was rehomed to Emma from a show
home. She gained her AAD title in 2005 and also found time to have
a litter of nine spotty puppies. Her son Jak is just starting out
in the beginners class at WAAG in 2007.

Gunner
Gunner
is handled by Jon Fraser. Another story of a dog who agility has
helped; Gunner was diagnosed with a heart condition at 2 years of
age and Jon made the decision to keep playing agility to help his
fitness. Three years later his heart condition is past history and
his SAAD title is recent history.

Harli
Harli
is handled by Rohan Ally. He hasn't been competing with ADAA for
long but is whizzing through the classes. He is also a top performer
in ANKC agility where he ranked 2nd in Open Jumping and 3rd in Masters
Agility in Australia at the 2007 Nationals. But not just good at
agility, Harli is also a TV star in Russia.

Heidi
Heidi
is handled by Sharon Fraser. She started agility with WAAG in 2002
and in 2006 made her Mum very happy by gaining her Australian Agility
Championship (AAC title). The first dalmatian to acheive such acclaim.
|
 |
Jahzara
Jahz
is handled by Sam Bois. She has just started out in agility in 2007
but has a huge career ahead of her. Her name is African for "Blessed
Princess" and she has certainly been blessed with natural athletic
ability; she makes agility look effortless. And she is already a
media star. BTW, Jahz's favourite colour
is red!

Jemma
Jemma
was handled by Sam Bois. She went to the rainbow bridge in 2005
but is still looking over all the WAAG dogs keeping them in line
and cheering them on. Jemma was one of the foundation members of
WAAG and gained her AAC in 2004.

Jonty
Jonty
is handled by Tracey Harrison-Hill and on special occasions by Glenn
Harrison. A rehomed sheltie that had to overcome a great deal of
timidness, he found agility helped him become confident and outgoing.
Through agility he found his place in the world (and his voice).
He earned his AAC in 2005 and his IAD in 2007.

Lacey
Lacey
is handled by Jenny Walkerden. A toy poodle barely larger than a
cup with a heart the size of a lion. Lacey proves little dogs can
do anything! Despite her tiny legs she has won the Toy dog challenge
at the Uralla Grand Prix and earned her MAAD title in 2006 to much
ovation.

Lucy-Liu
Lucy-Liu
is a kepie handled by Brian Platts. A relative newcomer to WAAG,
she has been starring in agility for a while and is a consistently
top performer. 2007 has been a great year for Lucy-Liu in ANKC competitions
where she had considerable success at the National level. She is
currently ranked 3rd in Australia in Masters Jumping.

Maggi
Maggi
is handled by Karen Manton. Maggi was rehomed with Karen as a mature
dog and didn't start agility training until she was 8. At 14 years
of age now, she's enjoying ADAA's regular class with the lower heights.
A dog with a fantastic reportoire of tricks, she's a pleasure to
watch.

 |
Missy
Missy

Missy gained her AAC title in 2003 and has since gone on to achieve
multiple MAAD titles, her gambler dog title and her snooker dog
title.

Roxy
Roxy
is handled by Kellie Jeffries. Roxy is living proof that you can
teach an old dog new tricks. Roxy started agility training aged
8 and enjoyed it so much that her litter brother TJ also came to
join in the fun. Roxy now enjoys ADAA's regular program where she
gets lower jump heights but still gets to play all the fun games.
|
 |
Sonic
Boom
Sonic
is handled by Nat Kirkwood. He's a favourite of all spectators with
his gorgeous flowing coat and huge stride over jumps. A Beardie
with lots of bounce who just loves life. He started competing in
2005 and had acheived his AAC title by the end of 2006; what a champion!

Tia
Tia
is handled by Janenne Meyer. One of fittest and most athletic staffies
that you will see, Tia is a newcomer to agility but is a pleasure
to watch flying around courses with such vigour and enthusiasm.
Tia's brother Bailey has also recently started training in the foundation
class at WAAG so we look forward to him joining Tia in the ring.

Windy
Windy
is handled by Marilyn Smith. She retired in 2006 after sustaining
an injury. A wonderful whippet who was just hitting her stride and
performing consistently when she retired. She was a great ambassador
for agility, we miss seeing her in the ring.

Zoom
Zoom
is handled by Tracey Harrison-Hill. A giant sheltie in the guise
of a tri-colour border collie. Zoom has had some setbacks but absolutely
loves playing agility with her Mum and is looking forward to a fun,
fit and fabulous future.

Zumba
Zumba
is handled by Ricki Smith. Zumba is a gentle giant and a great crowd
pleaser. Sadly she was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 but is doing
well after her chemotherapy. We hugely miss having her at agility
with us and our thoughts are with her and Ricki.
