Agility Handlers

Toni Dawkins

How the story began…

Toni was raised with Border Collies.  Her mother did Obedience and later introduced Toni to Agility when she started her own club. 

25 years on she teaches Agility world-wide and says, “I love it!  I am also a hydrotherapist and take my dogs’ fitness very seriously.”

Amongst the huge multitude of successes the most memorable is?

“My most memorable success is winning the Crufts Championships with both my dogs the same year.  One in the Medium, and one in the Large.”

Toni currently owns three Border Collies and One Mini American Shepherd….
