I can see why the judge didn't know Kiros had entered the tunnel. It doesn't look like he did from the angle of the Video, does it? I'm even more gutted now!!

Kiros is my first competing Agility dog.

He was born in a foster home for the Animal Accident Rescue Unit in 2000. His Mum was picked up by them heavily pregnant when her current owner threatened to drown her!

I re homed him when he was 4 months as his previous home wasn't right for him. How lucky was I? He is a real Agility star taking us from Elementary to Grade 6 with an Agility win in Grade 6 as well. We have also qualified for the ABC semi-final four times and qualified for the final at Olympia in 2008. It was an awesome experience! My boy ran a lovely round at Olympia and finished in 4th place.

In November 2010 I noticed that Kiros wasn't jumping as easily as he used to so I made the hard decision to put him into Veterans. I have to say I have no regrets as he still really enjoys what he is doing and, hopefully, will be able to enjoy it for years to come:-)

Kiros is a pure mongrel. His Mum was definitely a GSD cross but I have no idea what his Dad was? Probably a BSD as Kiros looks and acts so much like a Malinois?

Reno is my baby, born on 24th October 2008.

I fell in love with BSD Malinois from the moment I first saw them. Mainly because of their similarity to Kiros in looks, nature and working ability.

Reno's Dad is Ronny (Bonvivant Kronik) a Malinois that I have admired for some time. When I heard he was fathering a litter of puppies I just had to have one! I'm so glad that I did as Reno is such a sweet little boy. Bags of personality, full of mischief and very loving.

He started his Agility training when he was a year old. I really wanted to use "shaping" to train Reno as he is quite sensitive and I don't think he would react well to being told to do something. Shaping does require quite a lot of time and patience but I am confident I will see the benefits in the long run.

He started competing at KC shows in 2011 (we dabbled a little the year before but I've realised it was too soon) and are just at the stage where everything is beginning to come together. Reno has recently won Grade 3 Agility taking him to KC Grade 4.
