A while back, I had somebody submit this question to be answered as a podcast: Well…here are some of my thoughts!

This week, I’m interviewing Marcy Mantell, who came up to visit for the 2014 Rose City AKC show, where she won High Combined with her young sheltie, Stripe. Marcy talks about how she got started in agility, some unexpected difficulties she’s had along the way with her sheltie Wave, and what it’s like to win a World Championship. Enjoy!
