Jagger, a Pit Bull/Lab X, an SPCA puppy who joined Richard & Suki's family in June of 1997 at the age of 7 weeks. Jagger's favourite activities are playing ball, swimming, agility, hiking & camping.

Jagger started obedience training at 12 wks of age and loved it so much she dragged (literally!!) Richard & Suki to Trick Training classes. After her Trick Training was over she was yearning to learn something new...

Jagger introduced Suki & Richard to agility in the Fall of 2000 and started competing in the AAC in the spring of 2001. Despite having two inconsistent handlers (sorry baby we're working on it!) Jagger placed 3rd in 2003 at the BC/Yukon Regionals in the 22 " Specials division.

In 2004 Suki started to soley train with Jagger. They attended weekly classes, seminars and learned to become a team. Jagger knew the difference between training and competion and could have fun and play and be silly at class but at competition she turned on her focus and desire to compete. In 2008 Suki finally figured agility out, and helped Jagger place 5th in 16" Vet at the AAC BC/Yukon Regionals. Jagger retired from competition fall 2008, but stilled played agility weekly with her class and club friends.
