5 April, 2009  Volume 3, Issue 3                       

By Sue Yeap

2-May 2009 is an important and exciting date for us. We will be holding our Dog Competition in an air-conditioned venue- the Han Chiang Indoor Stadium. It will be a comfortable venue for competing teams. The day will be long and packed with Agility, Obedience and Games. This is also the 1st time we have judges from Penang, KL and Singapore. We hope more people will come to watch and begin to make a first step to join in the agility sport. Agility is not a sport just for Border Collies (some people have asked me)-it's a sport for all breeds- pure or mixed breed or our own All-Malaysian dogs. If you come to watch the event, you will see dogs competing in Maxi, Mini and Toy categories. To encourage more interests and participation, the Agility Games is created to motivate more participation from those new to the sport.

2-May 2009 PENANG DOG AGILITY ASSOCIATION welcomes all to the :

  • 26th and 27th Agility Trials

  • 9th Obedience Trial

  • 2nd Agility Games
