At the pre-nationals meet in Adelaide, Australia, Peter de Wit and his Heading Dog, Cee of Upper Hutt ( where I live) won the two Masters events - this is the top grade in Australian agility.
At the 3-day nationals, after two days, ten of the NZ team (called the Paw Blacks) menbers are into Sunday's finals with Peter and Cee a winner of one of the three Masters heats. despute Peter having a very sore knee. Lyn Sayers - another of the team members from Upper Hutt - has done very well with his two female Miniature Schnauzers and is into the finals in two events. One of Lyn's dogs is a great rival of Taylor's and Taylor and the Schnauzers get along famously together - Taylor just loves them.
In the novelty and team events on the first day of the champs, the Paw Blacks won several of the events (Snooker, Gamblers, Strategic Pairs) So it has been a sensational beginning for NZ agility at international level.
