Bella is a three year old WSD and has been doing agility for just over  a year and is a complete addict and has got me completely hooked as well, i got her at six weeks old from a farm and have never regretted it once. we train normally at least once a week, normally at lower eascott and honiton  for obedience, More if we can and we sometimes do a bit of obedience although shes a bit to vocal for that!!she went to her first show after three months training and she won out of elementary at her fourth show and starters twice within a week at about her tenth show!!
Bella has one novice win to her name so far! 
She has been diagnosed with hip dysplacia, which means i am not running her in as many shows now!


 
I have bought a pup from chel and Tim, called popi and shes hopefully going to have the same enthusiasm as bella does but she does have a lot to live up to, poor girl!! shes doing well though except at club where tigger and megan are a lot more fun!! I am also doing a law degree so time is pushed however it never seems to be the dogs that get left out, normally the essays!!
**Popi recenty passed her Good Citizens Puppy Award - 
well done popi !**

Update:
30th January 2004
At first I really wasn't sure what to make of this little collie, she was really wimpy in temperament compared with Bella and also very stubborn, but, for those of you who know Bella, wouldn't you be if you had her as your older sister!! However in the last couple of months she has really come into her own, probably because I have stopped comparing her to Bella, and also started her agility training! She's a little feisty to say the least but I really am enjoying her training and she has taught me a great deal, she is a calm housedog who turns possessed at agility classes and that's the way I like her!!
Although I am unsure of how to tackle many aspects of her training I know that IF I get it right this little girl will be super fast
and consistent too ( I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I don't think she has the same manic drive as Bella but she is much more prepared to listen and take it all in,
which I hope will take her further (fingers crossed)!!
