Active Team Members

Bunny

Bunny

Bunny is an English Cocker Spaniel and she enjoys agility and all things training. Really, she will do anything for food. She is an excellent hiking companion and will choose the teeter over tunnel any day. Bunny lives in Bellingham with Aly and Lawrence Horry.

Catch

Catch

This is Catch! He is a whole lotta dog in a little package. There is nothing he likes better than a fast agility course and telling his partner all about it the entire way!

Catch is a rescue from Southern Oregon through Pacific Northwest Border Collie rescue.

Crockett

Crockett

Crockett is a tricolor Smooth Collie originally from Sonoma, California, now living in Bellingham with her owners, Daphne Fairbairn and Derek Roff. She is an enthusiastic hiking companion and she also enjoys both agility and nose work. In the agility ring, she is usually calm, steady and attentive, although she can be impatient at times. Daphne and Crockett have enjoyed competing in several NADAC trials.

Ernie Mae

Ernie Mae

Ernie Mae is a spunky 11-year-old female Boston Terrier. She is named after Chicago Cubs' baseball great Ernie Banks. Ernie Mae likes to add something of her own when running an agility course - like doing a full speed roll over between jumps. She enjoys Stefan's agility class with her big dog Ron.

Gibson

Gibson

Gibson is an Australian Cattle Dog (with maybe some border collie mixed way back in the lineage). He was born in May 2018, in Nooksack. WA. He is the first herding breed that his mom and dad have ever owned and now they may never go back! Gibson loves to have a job to do and is eager to learn new skills. He is happiest when being told how handsome he is. Gibson is a social butterfly and talks to anyone who says hello to him and he freely gives high fives and kisses to anyone that asks.

Gibson also participates in Nose Work, and recently achieved his NW1 title. He loves to play ball and go paddle boarding (and anything else lake related). He is an amazing foster brother to all of the foster puppies and dogs that come to stay at his house. He has 2 other dog roommates, and 3 cat roommates. His superpower is being able to give a yip at such a high pitch, it can nearly explode the ear drums of those standing too close.

Rudy

Rudy

Rudy is a five-year-old Australian Shepherd who likes nothing better than jumping and running and playing. Rudy was born in Salt Lake City and came to the PNW when he was five months old. Rudy has boundless enthusiasm for play and can get carried away. Sometimes he likes to make up his own agility rules - like it is ok to launch yourself off the dog walk and the A-frame.

Magic

Magic

Magic is an Australian Shepherd from the 'working line' of Aussies. He is long-legged and extremely fast. He turned two in January 2009. He is highly motivated and driven in agility. His speed through weave poles is impressive. While still novices, the Magic Team of Alecia and Magic is working hard to bring it all together.

Mirha

Mirha

Mirha was adopted from the SPCA in Richmond, BC Canada in 2006. She is truly a 'border' collie, as she was rescued from Yakima, WA and taken in by That'll Do Border Collie Rescue in Canada. We adopted her and brought her back to Whatcom County, WA. We soon realized that agility seemed to be her 'work' and she is driven to learn to work with Stefan to form Team Mirha. In seven months, they amassed 17 titles and several 'platinum points' in NADAC.
