My name is Robin, and I've been passionate about agility since 2000. I discovered the sport through my sister Pam, who was taking classes at the time. Although I had seen agility on TV, I didn't know where to find lessons. My first agility dog was a Labrador Retriever named Chimera, who is shown in the picture to the right. Chimera was an incredible dog with a genuine love for the sport and our journey together transformed me from a student to an instructor and eventually a judge! After a year of classes, we began competing, and within three years, she earned her Trial Championship (ATChC). In 2004, we participated in our first Regional and National Championships, finishing 4th in the Ontario Regionals and 9th in the Canadian Nationals. In 2002, Griffin (pictured below) came along in 2002. With my increased knowledge of the sport, I was able to elevate Griffin's performance significantly. We competed in three National Championships, finishing 5th, 4th, and 5th. Not only did earn his ATChC, but he also achieved his Lifetime Award of Excellence in 2010.
