Nominate Your Dog for Defa's Award!

Defa's Award, kindly sponsored by Patch Guipago, is for the most improved rescue dog, 'completing the road to quality of life against the odds.'

This award is not based on points or placings. In fact, the winner may not have even had a clear round yet! It's meant to acknowledge a special dog which has overcome whatever difficulties it's had in the past and is now able to do agility with its new owner.

That special dog/owner partnership could be you or someone else you know who may not realise how amazing their part has been in giving their dog a great future! All you have to do is write your/their story in as much detail as you think relevant. There is no real maximum length. Just tell the story as it happened and send it to Patch at patchncrew1@googlemail.com . The winner's story will go on the Dog Agility Rescue League website and they will receive an engraved trophy.

Supadog Agrees to Sponsor Agility League for Rescue Dogs

The Dog Agility Rescue League (DARL), formed to recognise the achievements of rescue dogs, is celebrating after agreeing a three-year sponsorship deal with Supadog, the popular dog food range from pet care specialists Burgess.

The Dog Agility Rescue League (DARL) – soon to become the Supadog Agility Rescue League – was launched last year to allow rescue dogs and their owners to show they can compete with the best of them in the agility ring. It already has close on 800 members.

Christine Neasham, head of marketing at Burgess, said  'At Burgess we believe that pets contribute hugely to the wellbeing of their owners and we should repay them by looking after them the best we can.  It's great to know that members of the Dog Agility Rescue League and other people like them have been able to give a loving home to some very lucky rescue dogs and help them reach their full potential – their success shows that with the right care and attention rescue dogs can be just as successfully trained as non-rescues.'

'We admire their dedication and are looking forward to working with everyone associated with the league to ensure rescue dogs - who are the true supadogs - get the recognition they deserve.'

The Supadog sponsorship, which begins in January 2008, will help fund the league's one-day national final. All competitors will receive a bag of Supadog Active, a protein-rich food for active and sporting dogs, with natural bio-flavonoids which have anti-viral properties to guard against infection from sources such as stagnant water and carrion.

Karen Fuller, the league administrator, said  'We're very excited about our partnership with Supadog.  Interest in the league is already growing in leaps and bounds and this new support should help the league gain a much higher profile in the agility world.'

Burgess will continue to support the Kent-based Supadog Agility Show, the largest event of its kind in the world, which it has sponsored for 11 years.
