sheena Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This guy is 77 years old & has had knee & back surgery, but that doesn't stop him winning big time, with his BC Crush. Watching handlers like this, gives me hope :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Brilliant. That's one seriously well trained dog - loved that the handling was so precise that the dog had no questions - awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Amazing!!! That dog is trained to perfection. Loved how confident he was. What a credit he is to 77???? year old owner who is just phenomenal for his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agility Dogs Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 AWESOME. A lot of the dogs in the US are run by people who in theory 'can't keep up' with them - they just train better. It's just an inspiration to see people find other ways to keep having fun with their mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Great work! My instructor is an older gentleman getting on. He's had multiple surgeries already in 2015 and still went to Bermagui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpette Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 And here I was wondering if I should get another Rotty pup considering I am approaching 50 and they are an active working dog. I don't think I have an excuse at all now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm another not unlike yourself grumpette. Turning 52 this year & I was fearing that I would be too old to own another BC puppy after the dreaded time comes & I have to say bye to my now 6 & 4 year old BC's. There is hope for us yet ????

Maybe they should consider a veteran owners class for some of the competition dog sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Well I have just turned 64 & have been thinking that if I get another BC in about 4 years time & train it up, then that will probably see me out as far as agility goes.....but seeing that old lady still competing at 92, has made me re-think :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some bodies that should not be seen in public in wet suits, and mine is heading that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbedWire Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Totally inspiring. In my early seventies and still fit perhaps I can fit in one more. :) BC? When the old guy was going around with the border collie he even had his back turned while the dog was jumping. Those dogs were so well trained and loving every second. Just amazing. I love agility.
