Hello and welcome to another episode of Agility on the ear Today’s episode is in english In order not to moderate the episode every time the same way, I would like to introduce my today ́s guest in their own words I started with agility 13 years ago – first very shortly with my late mix breed but he was much more interested in running away from the course and I was young and had zero experience, but very shortly after I have gotten a working kelpie named Will with who I started seriously competing and participated in a few European Open competitions. Will is today almost 14 and happily enjoying retirement. With my Croatian sheepdog Ris I went to my first Agility World Championship and loved it! At a similar time, I started running with my first borrowed border collie Vis, owned by my good friends, with whom some super cool stuff started, like podiums on some bigger international competitions and also represented Croatia at AWC. Unfortunately, an injury cut his career short, I kept competing with his sister Wai (also owned by another friend). Vis is no longer with us, he left us tragically last December, and Wai is approaching 10 and slowly also going into retirement. Unfortunately, corona cut some of the last fun years with her. I also have a sheltie, Boom, who runs in medium - he introduced me to a whole new world of crazy fast challenges that forced me to bring my skills training and general agility game to another level. We already have some big podiums behind us (Norwegian Open, Moravia Open, Slovenian Open) but hopefully, the best is yet to come since he only participated in one European open and AWC when he was still quite young. But he for sure loved this experience and we keep training and hoping for more! I also have a few younger border collies that are just starting to seriously compete, so who knows what the future brings. In 2017 I started my own agility club with my friend and colleague Alen Mareković. We train on an outdoor field as well as in a rented sports hall – Croatia is way too small in agility to even dream about a pure agility hall, but who knows what life brings in the future. We hope to finally organize a huge international competition, Croatian open, in 2022 – it has been my dream since 2020 but corona messed up with the plans in the last years, so 3rd time is the charm! Now I can say hello and welcome Nina Gregl from croatia!
