Finn

Pet Name : Finn

5 May 2009 - 22 August 2024

 

Finn is our first home bred Toller. We mainly concentrated on her show career to begin with but she much prefers agility these days and started competing in 2012. She did some gundog training but agility is our first love so that is where we will concentrate our efforts. She is now retired into a life of leisure and keeping us company when we are out and about competing.

In September 2012 Finn gave birth to her first and only litter, she only had one puppy which we have kept. 

 Finn has been improving at her agility - this is her weaving in February 2013 at a competition
