The founder and lead instructor of Fido Finishing School, Julie Hill, recently competed at the AKC Agility Nationals tournament with her young Border Collie, Handy. Turning in a phenomenal performance, Handy placed 4th in a class of 100 16" dogs in her Standard Course run. She posted competitive times and performances in all of her other course runs. We of FFS are very proud of this talented nationally competitive team and look forward to watching them mature to their full potential.
Congratulations Julie and Handy!
