Hi Libby, Sonic got his AAD last month, he is coming
along great, really driving hard and often bouncing 5 meter (16
feet) jumps and has really reliable contacts. Just sometimes turns
like a freight train, but we are working on that. He is having
a real ball at agility. Have updated the text for his web page
below as it was a bit out of date.
Thanks,
Nat

Sonic is progressing well. He still likes the big open courses more than the twisty ones. He is always learning new stuff. Have updated his titles below and attached a photo for the BAD web site. He finished growing at 555mm (21.75"). How much fun can a Beardie be!!!

Hi All,
I am pleased to say that after turning 3 the week before, Sonic achieved his MAAD title yesterday and won the class as well.
I am so very proud of him, he has earned 6 titles this year and hopefully he can get at least one more.
He is improving with every run and getting faster all the time. On the big open jumping with weaves courses he is running at over 6m/s. We are improving with our ability to turn tightly and as such are improving our rates of travel on the tighter courses all the time. I think most of it is about me trying to have more confidence in his ability to drive the turn instead of trying to over compensate for his relative lack of experience as compared to my older border collies, who are both in over 10.
Anyway, just wanted to share my proud moment.
regards,
Natalie

Hi,
Today saw the announcement of the Australian Team to travel to the World Agility Championships 2010 in London (http://www.wac2010.htt). Through my efforts at selection comps with Sonic we were selected to go. This is a huge honour and one I am very proud that I was able to achieve with my Beardie Boy.
Whilst due to quarantine restrictions and distance we are unable to take our own dogs and will be using dogs supplied by the host nation, it was still a huge feather in the bow of my Sonic to help me achieve selection - I am very proud of him.
This is the first time Australia will send a full team, which makes it a very special opportunity.
One very proud Natalie, Sonic & Spaghetti.
Off to a BAD Start
