Agility Workshop

The AMCA 2004 National Specialty is pleased to present our Canine Agility Introduction Workshop, to be conducted by Gillian Crawford. This workshop will be held on Monday, November 1st. Ms. Crawford has agreed to conduct both a morning and afternoon workshop, if interest is high enough.

This four-hour workshop is designed to introduce Malamutes and their owners to the sport of Canine Agility. Gillian's experience with Northern Breeds will make this a wonderful opportunity to find out what your Mals can do, and to learn what you can do to help them learn this fun, fast-paced sport!

This workshop is limited to 8-10 "working teams" (dog/handler), which will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. However, an unlimited number of exhibitors may also audit the workshop without their dogs.

If you are interested in participating or auditing our Agility Workshop, please print out this .pdf  form* and send it to Ellen McKee at the address provided. Questions about reservations? Contact Ellen at (307) 733-3579.

More about Gillian Crawford:

Gillian Crawford (AKC Registered Name, Call Name "Jill") has been involved in Agility and obedience since 1988. She was one of the founding members of the Rainier Agility Team, one of the pacific northwest's largest agility clubs, serving many times as President, Officer, Board Member, and Training Advisor. Training her three Samoyeds in Obedience has been both rewarding and a constant challenge. "Aslan", her now 13-year old Samoyed, was one of the first Sammies in the country competing in Agility in WSDAA, NADAC, and AKC trials.

Gillian is currently competing in Agility and Obedience with her MACH "Cowboy" (the "Parti-Pom"), and her Sheltie "Conner". She is having fun with her "little" dogs with big attitudes, but will be starting a new Samoyed soon. Jill has been judging AKC Agility since 1997, and working at her training center in Tacoma, WA. She pays her bills by working for a large law firm in Seattle as a litigation specialist.

If you have questions about her workshop, please email Gillian.
