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 twelve years old and has no intention of slowing down any time soon.  She earned an overall third place at the 2004 NADAC Championships (after THREE major surgeries), has several Top Ten awards, and has a total of eight NATCH plaques. 

QUICKIE

Quickie is a 10 year old male, smooth-coated Border Collie.  He started his agility career in 1999 and earned his Outstanding Elite Gamblers title (10 legs) in 2000.  He now has over 1300 points in Gamblers/Chances - he does terrific work at a distance.  

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, although he made it to the finals in 2004 and 2005 and brought home a first place trophy for Touch & Go. 

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 two Championships, earning ribbons in both, and we're trying for more this year.
