WAO 2013- team England
Alice Moodie
This year you will be a part of the English team at the World Agility Open. This will be your first World Agility Open, will be also your first international competition?
Yes this will be my first international competition, although I have competed at the Open Junior Agility Championships run by Anthony Clarke where juniors from other countries competed.
Tell us a little of your debut in agility... How did you get involved in Agility?
My Grandma got me involved in agility. I started with her Jack Russell Terrier that was very naughty and often would go and see the nearest person eating food. The first competition I can remember, I was running in a junior class and and got told off for starting before I was told, but the let me off as I won 3rd place. I now have 2 more terriers who are typical terries and can do some very unexpected things sometimes, but thats why I love them.
What are your expectations about this event?
From what I have heard from people that have gone in past years, the event is very friendly and good fun. That is what I would like it to be this time. As long asthe team, my dog and I have fun then I dont mind what else happens, every thing else will be a bonus.
In the 2011 you won the Shaun McAlpine Outstanding Young Person Award. how much this award has affected your career Agility?
To be honest it hasnt really, I was very gratful to win the award and still am.
