What is agility you ask. Its a sport that is run in the ring with both the dog and handler. The handler guides the dog over a bunch of obstacles that will consist of jumps, dog walk, A frame, tunnels, and a special tire. It is a timed event that has to be ran under a designated standard course time and depending on the level you are running may have to be fault free.

Conformation

Conformation means conforming to the standard. Each breed has a standard that includes what the structure of that breed is, how it looks and reacts. In conformation, each dog is judged against how closely that specific dog meets the criteria of the standard. If it looks like a collie, acts like a collie, smells like a collie, it's a collie, right? But does this collie meet the written description of what this collie here is compared to that collie over there? The standard includes MANY details from ears to eyes to coat to tail. It is up to the judge to determine which collie has the best details described in the standard. A question that is asked often is do you make any money doing this?  The simple answer is no. We do it for several reasons, a chance to do something with our pups as well as to show everyone what the standard for our breed is all about.

Fast Cat is most easily described as a drag race. The course is a 100 yard straight run that the dog chases a line with trash bags attached to it. It is a timed event  Two people are involved, one releases the dog at the start line and another catches the dog at the finish line. Points are awarded by you time and a handicap system is used for the dogs size.

Why we do it ?

You ask why we do it? There are many reasons, but the simple answer is because we enjoy doing it with our pups. It gives us a chance to do something we all enjoy. Sure we could do the usual and throw a ball or a stick and have them chase it but that only last so long. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that but doing these additional things keep us involved with our pups a lot longer. There is constant training as well as the weekend trials. It also gives us a chance to meet others that enjoy being involved in the sport as well.
