Agility in 2011

AKC is a  month behind in Agility results, so some little things will still change. 2011 was a good year. Briards was competitive as never before. Nona's Puccini retired from regular Agility to almost making the PACH in eleven months trailing, and yes in January 2011 Puccini had to start in Novice.

Nona's Tosca made MACH2 and is well on the way to have MACH3 sometimes in 2012. Also impressive Tosca made 1819 MACH points and 22 double Q's  in 2011 alone !

David's Vie is the first TC (triple Champion) Briard, Vie is a conformation Champion, Herding Champion and made the MACH this fall.

Tosca, Vie and Puccini are all also qualified for the National Championship 2013 in Reno NV

in 2011 13 Briards was competing in the highest regular class, additional two Briards was also running in the highest preferred class. Never before in AKC Agility did 15 Briards compete in one year at the highest level.

Tosca and Morgan's Argos also had some runs where they would have been fast enough to qualify for world tryouts, so maybe soon we see a Briard trying to get qualified.
