Letter to the Editor
Dear Clean Run, A recent offhand remark at an all-breed agility trial has been bothering me and I wanted to express the feelings I believe I share with other “nontraditional” agility breed owners. First, I would like to say that I try very hard not to worry what others think about my breed’s involvement in agility, but instead to remember that first and foremost it is the breed I love and have chosen to work with. But because the comment (made to a friend of mine) reflected a sentiment I have experienced before, it did hurt my feelings and I hope to make people aware of how their attitudes affect others. The remark was made, “Oh, it’s only so-and-so!” in response to a request to hold the results for the class so I could walk the course and run my dog before the next height. I do not aspire to the world team—I don’t even aspire to winning the 16" class—what I do aspire to is having the best Clumber Spaniel agility dog there is. Since my Clumber is the only one ever to earn the AX/AXJ, followed by MX/MXJ, AXP and MJP, I could not be prouder of her. I hate feeling that her incredible achievements are so undervalued by people who should know better—and I know that those who run Field Spaniels, PBGVs, and other non-traditional agility breeds share my feelings. Please think about your attitude and what our goals may be. Because those goals are not the same as your goals does not make them unworthy. Judy Hiller
