IAN Smith and two of his six border collies could be forgiven for thinking they are top dogs in the world of agility competitions.
The part-time professional dog trainer from Worcester has succeeded in qualifying two dogs for the most prestigious agility contest in the country at Olympia, in London, in December.
Nutmeg, a seven-year-old bitch, took the top agility prize at Crufts this year and is also through to the seniors section at Olympia.
Now two-year-old Canen has qualified for the novices class at Olympia.
Ian, of Windermere Drive, Warndon, Worcester, said: "It is fantastic to qualify for Olympia because it is bigger for agility than Crufts, but to do both in one season is brilliant."
