Agility
By Brenna Fender

Perfect Puppy Pulls a Fast One
When you are a frequent agility competitor, sooner or later something hugely embarrassing and/or hilariously funny is going to happen in the agility ring. When it does, just remember that we’ve all been in your shoes!
Holly Bourne wrote to share her goof with her young Border Collie. “Kist made her ring debut a year ago last fall at a USDAA trial. Picture a lovely day, a beautiful setting for a trial, and lots of great runs So I decide to take darling Kist for a walk and get in some ringside work on her manners. I have just started using a head halter and am quite pleased with the results. So my little angel and I head out to ringside. Kist is at my side, my head is held high with pride at my perfectly behaved little girl. Since all is right with the world, I start to relax and look around expecting to see people smiling back at me with obvious respect and admiration at this serene picture of dog and handler. Suddenly I hear a blood-curdling scream coming from my perfect angel (that I have affectionately told everyone is the first perfect puppy in the world). At this point I realize that my lead is quite slack and notice a very sleek looking black and white smooth-coat BC running full speed across Scott Chamberlain’s ring and into the path of a very intense looking BC running the course. Who could this ill-behaved dog be, and worse yet, who is the dummy who couldn’t control her dog? Quickly putting two and two together I (being so quick on the draw) couldn’t remember my dog’s name and so screamed out at the top of my lungs s**t—I mean Kist! I understand from everyone around that I had quite a recall. I don’t remember because I was so ashamed I picked up my perfect puppy and carried her away like a designer handbag, mumbling my apologies along the way.” D Got a blooper of your own to share? Put “agility blooper” in the subject line and send it to brennafender@gmail.com.
