Something for a Giggle

How To Recognise Dog Agility People

Dog agility people are a special breed, not usually recognised by the KC.

They usually have crates in their living rooms. They keep messy houses, but their kennels are spotless.

They can always find a show catalogue within an arms reach.

And they have kids who know more about the birds and the bees when they are five than most people know at 40.

Dog agility people will drive 100 miles, spend £50 on petrol and £10 on meals to bring home a 25p rosette.

Dog agility people drive vans.

And they can never be reached on weekends, unless you happen to be at the same show.

They have trouble getting to work on time but can be at ringside by 8:00 am.

Dog agility people will give up a £150,000 home to move to a shack on 10 acres so they can have a £150,000 dog kennel.

Dog agility people have children who grow up believing 'Bitch' is just another household word.

Dog agility people do not have gardens.

Dog agility people may pay the mortgage 10 days late BUT never miss a closing date for entries.

Dog agility people would rather be audited by the Inland Revenue than investigated by the KC.

Dog agility people use dog food bags for rubbish and rubbish bins for dog food.

Dog agility people talk on the phone for hours to another dog person in a language known only to dog people.

Dog agility people have parents and family who think they've lost their minds, neighbours who think they're strange and doggy friends who think they're terrific!!

Agility Cenus - A request from Agilitynet

As the 2011 UK National Census has closed, we thought now would be a good time to find out a bit more about our own agility community so we have set up a quick Agility Census on Monkey Poll via Agilitynet at 

http://www.agilitynet.co.uk/active/Survey_agility_census_2011.htm 
 
We timed it and it won't take more than a minute to complete - just 9 short, multiple choice questions.  Provided enough people respond, by the time we close the survey we hope to know more about our sport - how it works, how many agility handlers and dogs there are out there, where we train and how often we go to shows, if at all.  This is a survey for everyone who does agility whether they are advanced handlers or new beginners or whether they do competitive or 'just for fun' agility so can I ask that you encourage all your family, friends and people at your club or training group to fill in the census as soon as possible.  We will analyse the results and make this information available through Agilitynet so that everyone can benefit from it. Thank you very much for your help.  
 
Thanks again.
