Thank you for considering me for judging agility at the 2010 BCSA specialty.   My interests in dogs began in 1980 when I took the family collie to obedience school.  I wanted a dog of my own, and a friend told me about border collies.  She had seen BCs competing in obedience at Crufts.  Her description of the breed convinced me that I had to own one. 

In 1981, I bought my first BC to show in obedience.    In 1991, I was bit by the agility bug.  I became an AKC agility judge soon after AKC adopted its agility program.  In addition to judging agility for AKC, I am a licensed USDAA Masters judge.  I like fast, open courses that give the dog a chance to open up.   I currently show my two BCs in agility, herding, conformation, and obedience.
