My Border Collie (Cooper) also finished his Open Standard title, so we're officially running with the big kids in Excellent now - we all had a good weekend!
More trials coming up each month, will keep you posted.
Really nice Craig! How old is your dog and how long have you been working him in agility? It is something I'm giving consideration to with my GSD as well.

Thanks everyone for all the positive comments! Very much appreciated. Heading to more shows this month, pretty much 1 to 2 shows per month through August now. More video to follow.
Barbara, in response to your question above- Rocco is about to turn 3 (this month) and he's been training in agility for just over a year. This was his first show. I adopted him when he was 15 mos., got him into shape (mentally & physically), worked some obedience and then we started in agility shortly thereafter.
He's a nice dog to run and we have a great time doing this (which is just what it should be about - fun!). I don't see too many GSD's in agility, just a few here and there. Not sure why but I think people are apprehensive about HD(?).

Oh and one more thing Barbara, if you are considering agility with your GSD I would recommend getting his hips x-rayed / laxity tested first, just to be safe. Agility can be a little hard on the joints so it's better to be safe rather than risk injury.
I also keep my GSD and BC on Glucosamine / MSM / Chondroitin supplements as well.
