Favourite memory with your Canine Athlete My favourite agility memory with Sprint was competing in the main ring at Crufts. He qualified for the event after only competing for 3 months and we loved our time in the main arena in front of the big crowd.

About Us

I've competed in agility for a long time now with 5 different dogs over this period. All of these dogs have been rescues. Sprint, in particular, was kept in a shed by his previous owner and I adopted him from the rescue centre as a young adult dog.

I love agility for the bond it creates between dog and handler. I love the challenge of figuring out the best way to train each of my individual dogs.

Sprint is incredibly special to me and I adore his enthusiasm for every single thing he does. He's always up for anything I would like to do whether that's training, competing or hiking mountains. We're excited to be chosen as Antinol athletes as Sprint is now 9 years old and it is important to me to give him everything he needs to keep him fit, healthy and active for as long as possible.
