Two North Vancouver residents, one of them of the four-legged variety, are heading to Europe next week to represent Canada on the international dog agility stage.
Wendy Alexander and her border collie, Chili, are among 20 human-canine teams selected for the Agility Association of Canada's National Agility Team. They will compete on obstacle courses against dogs from all over the world at the IFCS World Agility Championships April 7 to 12 in Voghera, Italy.
"This will be our third time representing Canada on a national team and we are ecstatic to be given this opportunity again," Alexander said in a press release. "Chili is almost five and although we had many challenges early on, she continues to surprise and impress me as we grow as a team," she adds.
