Jinn's favorite things are: the beach, tennis balls, swimming, beds, cushions, snuggling, and, yes, agility.
Breaking News!: Jinn finished his ASCA Agility Trial Championship (ATCH) with a nail-biting gamblers run on Feb 22, 2009. We needed two more gamble runs to finish, and managed one each day even though on Sunday I sent him up the dog walk just as the whistle blew, in a fine example of exactly the wrong timing! (For the uninitiated, in a "gamblers" class you make up your own course to accumulate points for 30 seconds, and then ask the dog to complete a sequence of 4-5 obstacles at a distance when the whistle blows. In the runs below, I'm not allowed to cross the pink line.)
Below are some samples of him at work & play
