A little bit of info about our presenter!

My name is Karin Winkler, I live in Kimberley.

Before I got bit by the agility bug I have done Schutzhund with my German Shepherds.

Also some obedience, which is part of Schutzhund training.

I started agility training in 1996 with my Shepherd B.C. X Caruso . Started showing with him in

1998 with the Agility Association of Canada (AAC). Puccini my BC got me to a couple of Regional Championships to qualify for the Canadian National Championship, where he got 10th place overall

After I got my BC Rondi, I was in trouble he was too fast and I was to slow.

So I needed help. Started training with Terry Simons from California. I also took a

3 day seminar with Greg Derrett from England , and also some other good trainers

from Canada.

With Rondi’s talent and me getting to be a better handler we were a great team.

1st at the B.C. Regional and 6th at the Canadian National Championship.

All my dogs got the ATChC (Agility Trial Champion of Canada ) and many other titles.

I could go on bragging about my dogs, but I better stop now.
