SHADOWFAX PROGRESS REPORT - AGILITY pre-2006

 

 

 

18 October 2005 - After a lot of hard training Doushman competes in his first 'grown-up' all-breed agility competition - not perfect but not bad either ~ he is still in the team and his owner/handler is getting very fit !

 

 

Who said you cannot train an Afghan? Our dogs find time for obedience and agility training - and they greatly enjoy it.

Doushman and Kazbek have been looking for new challenges and have now added Heelwork to Music and Cani-cross to their other activities. Here are some photos of Doushman's first team effort in the arena.

This is Doushman's team waiting to start ~

 

 

       ~ and here they are in action !

 

 

 

 

Brother and sister -  Doushman and Ruby - have taken obedience and agility lessons. Doushman easily passed his Good Dog Citizen test at the age of 10 months and is now a proud holder of a Bronze Award certificate, while Ruby, has successfully competed at agility and obedience classes at home in Jersey.

Plush and JohnOur youngsters Plush and Kazbek are following the footsteps of their older brother and sister. We are very proud to say that Plush has passed her Good Dog Citizen Puppy Foundation Assessment at a tender age of 5 months, while Kazbek recently successfully completed his Bronze Award test.

Doushman, aged 9 months,  has found his first agility classes quite a challenge (as did his handler!)
