Trained agility BC available

[Daniel King]

Hi,

 

Might be the wrong place to post this, but since this situation is not a rescue. I'll try it here. A very good friend of mine finds himself at work now more than home. With no time to do agility nor keep the dog busy with "work", he feels like his BC is not getting the attention she deserves. He will hang on to her till her dying day but wondered if there were a better situation out there where she could compete at agility, which she loves, and get more attention. Had my friend continued to run her, I have little doubt she would have been a Top National contender. This dog is fully trained on all of the agility obstacles and is extremely quick and accurate. She has won local twenty weave pole challenges and knows her directionals (left/right) very well. She can take someone to the top. It was rare that she did not win her class. She is spayed and has her ILP.

 

Here is a brief description of some other points: Pip is an almost-6 year old (DOB 12Dec2002), smooth coat, tri-color female border collie from strict working lines (ABCA) Pip is completely housebroken, responds to a variety of obedience commands on and off lead, and is an excellent retriever in and out of water. Pip has had a good deal of agility training and currently has achieved her AKC Novice A (Std and JWW) and Open A (Std and JWW) agility titles. As an agility dog, Pip shows strong drive, fast speed, tight cornering and extreme responsiveness. Her potential as a high-scoring agility dog would be unlimited with the right handler. She jumps 20" AKC. Weighs 30 lbs.

 

Pip is personable with adults and children of all ages; she has spent the last 6 years of her life in a household with children ranging in age from 8 years to infant. While very good with cats, Pip is not well-behaved with dogs. She tends to be bossy and aggressive toward other canines, especially if they are female. Pip is also noise sensitive, displaying nervous behavior when she hears thunder or gun shots. Pip would be an excellent prospect for someone wanting a started agility dog. Due to her high drive Pip needs to be placed in an active setting. She would do best in a single dog home, but she could probably adjust to a home with one confidently dominant male dog. Pip is healthy, spayed, and up-to-date on all of her vaccinations and preventatives (heartworm, flea/tick).
