About Me | Active Dogs NZ

Dog Team

My dogs are my world...

We are currently living with our 3 dogs, Tink, 9 years old (Cocker Spaniel x Heading dog), Potter, 6 year old (Large Munsterlander x Border Collie) and Torin, 2 year old (Working Cocker Spaniel)

Tink is retired from Agility at Starters/Novice level and moved up a grade to Jumpers B. Tink is a fabulous scentwork dog and competes at Novice level with Dogs NZ and at Intermediate level with SSANZ. She spends most of her time hanging out and being a loveable family dog. She also has her Expert Level Trick Dog Title.

Potter is my soft-natured loveable boy. He is my main demo dog, so if you are doing classes with us, he is the one that will show you how things are done and he also likes a quick snuggle to say Hi before we start! He competes at the highest level of Senior in Agility and in Jumpers A. He too is an Expert Level Trick Dog! He is a fabulous around sports and companion dog.

Torin, (2yrs) is our youngest pup. He is a Working Cocker Spaniel and is an April 1st pup. He is starting to become a lovely wee demo dog for my classes and video content. We have not settled on a sport for him as yet. We are training in Agility, though this may not be his thing. We are exploring scentwork and other options and we will be doing more trick training with him to take him up to expert and beyond. He is currently at Advanced Level in his Trick Dog training.

Over the Rainbow Bridge:

Scuba, was a big doofy scared of the world Briard who so started my journey into dog training. We played with Rally O and Paws to Music. I lost him at just 10 years old.
Ruku, a Large Musterlander became my heart dog over the 13 years and 8 months. We competed in Agility, Rally O and Obedience
Mono used to compete in Agility at Senior and Jumpers A level, in Rally Obedience at Advanced level and Flygility at Advanced level. We miss her every day. We lost her at 10 years old to DCM (Dilated Cardiomyopathy & heart failure)
