My agility keesies

Posted : 4/14/2008 11:18:32 AM

I'm new here and would like to introduce my "flying furballs". My Keesies and I compete primarily in CPE and USDAA, with some dabbling in ASCA and AKC agility. I look forward to joining in on this forum Smile

Here is my 6 year old Twix:

And here is Zig Zag, 3 years old (but about to be 4!):

I'm curious as to what agility venues others here are competing in.

Zig Zag: CL1 CL2-S/H CL3-F; PK1; NJP; CGC

Hello! Great pics and welcome to the forum. I am just getting my aussies started (they are both 1) in agility. I plan to do AKC and CPE but we will probably start with CPE this year. Just waiting for them to meet the age requirements.

Beautiful Keeshonds!

We'll probably start in CPE though there is lots of AKC competition around here and UKC as well since the UKC itself is headquartered about an hour away. My German Shepherd is 4 years old but I got her less than a year ago and I've never done agility. She was already trained on all the obstacles. Her sons do agility and are titled. We've had a slow go since my club trains outdoors which means no agility for November - May. We're starting on May 5. I'm not really competitive with agility (we also do rally and obedience) so we probably won't trial until I feel good and ready, and can afford it!

They are soooo beautiful. Kees are one of my favorite breeds. Sophie is part Kees and they are so smart and sweet!

Welcome! I compete in NADAC with my Lab/Shepherd, Luke. We're at the elite level in everything but that dang chances class. The new distances are wicked!

There is a woman who competes in my area with her Keeshonds and they are VERY successful. She has many titles in multiple venues. They are awesome to watch.

What cute dogs!

I too play agility with my dogs. I will do my first AKC competition this coming weekend, with my lab Belle. My golden pup will start taking agility this coming session which starts next week. It is so much fun!

Welcome! Keesies are too cute with all that fur! I'm a fluffy dog lover by nature I think. Big Smile

I compete in USDAA and CPE with an occasional TDAA for my small dog. We're heading to a USDAA this weekend actually.

Welcome. I certainly can relate to flying furballs as that is what Timmy is normally called. We really just compete in AKC as that is the big dog down here.

Welcome. I love the Keesies, have a good friend who runs two in agility too. I've been competing in agility with my basenjis for about 9 years now. I've done (and titled in) AKC, USDA and NADAC, but now just do AKC. When my pup starts competing, I may try DOCNA to start with.
