SOUTH Coast Agility Dogs travelled to Ashley Sports Grounds in Pinetown and took part in the well attended North Coast Open Dog Show recently.
There are so many new handlers and dogs starting this wonderful sport, making the lower grades (namely gr 1 contact, non-contact and dog jumping 2, 4 and 6) more and more competitive. A special mention is made of Elsie Pretorius and her two poodles, Shiro and Miko who are definitely going places, fast.
