Notable
Peardot-Goudy is a veteran of Great Outdoor Games agility competition, but this will be the first year for Able, the dog she is running in the Large Agility event. She won Silver medals in 2001 and 2002 with her Border Collie, Secret, who is not competing this year. She said, "Secret is 8 1/2 years old and 20" tall. It was time for her to quit jumping 26" jumps." Secret will attend Great Outdoor Games V, but only as an observer from the sidelines.
Quotable
"Able definitely has the potential to medal. He will be one of the younger dogs in the competition, as opposed to where I usually am in Great Outdoor Games (with one of the oldest dogs in the field). He's incredibly fast."
