Hi, my name is Steph and I live in Bristol, UK.
I have 3 dogs - two Border Collies and a Jack Russell, and 2 cats.
We mostly compete in flyball, but when time allows we have done some agility, working trials and obedience. I have also been seen in the breed show ring, but not for quite a while!!!

I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome Steph!! Flyball one of my favorite sports. You can put your links on the other sites area. I will setup a category for flyball teams. How often do you compete? Our team is more recreational and only has enough dogs to barely compete. How popular is it in the UK?:)

Sorry not to have replied sooner!!! :o

We try to compete a couple of times a month, in some parts of the country you can compete every weekend for most of the year!! Too much for my liking though.

We did have enough dogs for two teams, but a few left cuz they werent on the winning team all the time!!!!! So now we have 6 dogs - 5 compete and race very well together. The 6th a GSD is a good bit slower and is waiting for our new dogs to start so she has a team to run with (my dogs wont race with her either!!!).

Flyball has grown in popularity over the last few years, but mostly in the North. The BFA are working on ways to get some interest here in the South!!!

Hopefully holding the European Championships in May will help!!!
