Judge Deborah Rhodes

Hi Everyone,

First I want to say how pleased and excited I am to be a part of the 2007 BC/Yukon Regionals. I have watched, judged and competed against many of you and look forward to watching you run.

A bit about me.

I am a relative newcomer to the sport of agility having started training in 2001 and judging in 2003. I quickly became hooked by this game and my previous life and enjoyment as a basketball coach led me to the teaching/judging arena almost right away.

My husband Dick and I have 4 dogs who currently compete in agility and unlike lots of our fellow compatriots we have four different breeds as well. We run Boomer, a 12 year old male Golden Retriever/German Shepherd cross, a 9 year old female spaniel cross named Molly, Janie is our 8 year old female Weimeraner, and I am lucky enough to have one of Kim Anderson's border collies, a 5 year old female named Britt.

We also have our own junior handler in training, a 2 year old named Cassidy who loves her puppy dogs.

Good luck at regionals, I hope both you and your dog meet and exceed your own expectations!!

Deb
