Biography

Anna was just 12 years old when she visited her first agility show as a spectator.

Noting the incredible speed and agility of Border Collies she knew right there and then that this is what she wanted to do!

However her first dog was a Cairn Terrier and Anna had a lot of fun training her.

Her dedication finally convinced her parents to get her a Border Collie when she was 17.
