What the best dressed agility handler used to
wear
Sue Ashby did this delightful cartoon of a typical agility couple
in the mid-1980s. It appeared in the Agility Voice Newsletter (April 1985). What
a far cry from the designer track suits, running shorts and trainers of today! And if you're
wondering about their dog, it's asleep thus avoiding panic!.
