Jinn's favorite things are: snuggling, string cheese, the beach, tennis balls, swimming, beds, cushions, snuggling, and, yes, agility.
News and Updates:
On Sept 19-20, 2010 Jinn won High In Trial Elite (with me), and Ali won High In Trial Junior Handler (with Jinn) at the Peninsula Australian Shepherd Association's "western round up" agility trial. (We borrowed some rather nice hats for the photo).

Gina took Jinn to an ASCA show in Nevada in August 2010, and he took best of breed, finishing his altered championship in the conformation ring. Many congratulations to Gina. As Ali says, now Jinn is a "froo froo champion," and we have certified evidence of how handsome he is!

In July of 2010 Ali ran Jinn in a couple of runs at the ASCA trial, and they got their first qualifying run together in Nov. B Gamblers! Click here (when I get the link active!) to see the video here (courtesy of 4-legged Flix). We also had some nice runs, with video links below (coming soon).
Jinn finished his Agility Dog Championship (ADCH) with the U.S. Dog Agility Association on April 25, 2010, wrapping up the last needed gamble Q and last pairs Q. Thanks to Sandy Rogers for the Gamble coaching, and Rachel and Stewie for that last pairs leg.
In September of 2009 Jinn took 9th place out of 80ish dogs in the Agility Finals at the Australian Shepherd National Specialty. This followed his 10th place finish in Finals at the 2008 National Specialty.
He finished his ASCA Agility Trial Championship (ATCH) with a nail-biting gamblers run on Feb 22, 2009.
