Allan McKernan (79), of Green Island, runs his dog Athena
through an agility course at the Taieri Canine Training Club
agility and obedience championship show, in Mosgiel, yesterday.
Mr McKernan started the sport 15 years ago and enjoyed the
challenge of getting a dog to run a course "without making a
mistake".
Club committee member Susan St Clair-Newman said about 150
handlers and 200 dogs took part in the two-day event at the
weekend.
People travelled from as far south as Invercargill and as far
north as Christchurch for the club's final show of the year.
