Third time WAO Competitor this year, she has been competing in agility for nearly 18 years now. Also an instructor with her club ACWA for a number of years now, a high school teacher by day she loves the opportunity to play with her dogs in the sport every chance she gets. Linda Mecklenburg’ s style of handling predominates her handling choices and she has worked with Daisy Peel for a number of years. Simone has experienced success on both National and State level and currently competes with her two girl BCs-Spryte and Savvy and with a young male puppy named Colt, learning the ropes as well. Her training schedule is very full right now. Last year at WAO her biggest success was a clear round, 5th place in the Biathlon Jumping with her borrowed dog- young star Darleyfalls Pipistrelle aka Miss Pip, bred, owned and trained by Sandra Adams. Simone hopes to return to the WAO this year with Pip and do well in Spain.
