LINDY

Lindy was my first agility dog.  We adopted her when she was one year old and we were her FIFTH owners! (She just wore out everyone else.)  She's extremely intense and lives (and loves) to work.  Her greatest reward after running an agility course is to run it again.

Her speed is incredible and the real challenge I have is to get commands out in time to send her in the right direction.  If I'm late, she'll take 2 or 3 more obstacles while I get myself back on track.  Regardless of whether we take first place or finish with 100 faults, she's a real crowd pleaser.

Lindy is half  Kelpie and half Border Collie.  She's fourteen years old and is still playing at agility, but is effectively retired.  She has multiple NATCH awards, has placed second or third overall at the NADAC championships, and has several Top Ten awards. 

QUICKIE

Quickie is a 12 year old male, smooth-coated Border Collie.  He started his agility career in 1999.  He's my extreme "distance doggy" - he'll work 100' feet away from me, and do it accurately.  

Quickie loves agility so much that he squeaks and squeals throughout the whole course, which sometimes makes it difficult for him to hear the commands.  His excitement can work against us - we finished DEAD LAST in the 2002 Championships, but redeemed ourselves with first place finishes in 2004 and 2008. 

Quickie was obtained from Border Collie Rescue.  When he's not tearing through the agility ring he loves to "power snuggle".  He cuddles so aggressively he nearly suffocated a friend of mine when he pinned her arms and snuggled up to her face!

POUNCE

Pounce is the newest addition to the Hunter household.  Like Quickie, she was adopted from Border Collie Rescue.  She came to us for Christmas in 2002 and immediately began her agility training.  She has been to multiple  Championships, earning ribbons in all of them.  She is nearing completion of her Triple Superior Versatility award - something only a small handful of dogs have achieved.
