This year you will not partecipate at the WAO . Last year you have finished 7th with Jaykay in the Individual Agility Pentathlon Championship . How was this experience for you ?
This year we are not at the WAO , we can not make it this year , my work dos not allow it this year . The 7 place last year was great , we have so mutch fun at the WAO . Good rounds of agility all the way . The judges give us a hard time at the Wao and we enjoy it .
Thinking back about the World Agility Open . Which was one of the most beautiful moments at the WAO 2012 ?
The 3 podiums with jaykay , and of course 2 place of the The Netherlands on the Team event where Jaykay was part of it . And the friendschip from people al over the world .
Which run comes to your mind for first ?
Because Jaykay is very small dog , agility course are his favorite , i was very please wit the 2 place at the jumping from the American judge .
It was the first time for you at an event like this ... Had you ever tryed some competitions of Gamblers and Snooker ... Biathlon , Penthatlon ?
