The
Barbour Jump & Landrover Drive Final
Agility celebrates it's 29th year at Chatsworth
this year. This article, first printed in the
October 1995 Agility Voice when a
handler complete a course in the
Defender 110 and then run a dog agility course for the fastest combined time. Be
sure to read it to the end and then compare this event to
the modern show. What a difference!

small, UK and international shows by supporting
them.

over the five days in Individual and Team events. GB took a full team of
30 dogs and handlers from a mix of heights, And didn't they do well. Amy Bennett
reports.
Judging
a la 2024
Judge Selena Bray asks competitors to
show more
respect for the person in the middle of the ring. It can be a difficult
and exhausting job. And we could
not do our shows without them!

holiday with more that two or more dogs, you'll know how

look for when booking.
