Michael Thomas....in The Bagpiper!!

I received my copy of "The Bagpiper" a few weeks ago and I was in it!!! I was interviewed a few months ago by a member of the STCA about me showing a Scottie in juniors and I told her of my experiences and what I like to do. Well, I was so excited to be in this issue! It was so exciting. I have been a member of the STCA for about a year now.

Here is a link to see a picture of the page I am in it.....

Scottie Agility


I am going to be going to a agility trial this weekend in Washingtonville, Ohio and I really want to do good with my scottie. He is really awesome in agility and he really loves it. Wish us the best of luck and hope that Jax will quaify for all of the events that I have entered him in! Here is picture of Jax and I doing agility a show ago.

New Junior from Ohio-Michael Thomas

Hello, I am a "new" junior handler who shows a wheaten Scottish terrier and a Standard Schnauzer.
I have done fairly well so far but I am having a little bit of a hard time with the open int class. There are so many junior in there and they know every trick of the trade. I need some tips on how to show a Scottish terrier who will not put up his ears. He is a wonderful boy in agility but he does not really like to show. His name is Ch. McVan's Jumpin Jack Flash. His name is Jax. I have gotten lots of 1 places with him but I have not been able to get his ears up. The judges also want to see a more flashier dog in the juniors ring also. Any tips would be appreciated.
