It seems strange that with so much invested in the 2013 events, that Agility would be ignored. It would be grand to have a GSDCA team involved. Many Agility trials are offering International rules classes as so many competitors want to try for various world teams. Agility is the one activity that fills trials all the time so why would we not use part of one of the venues and run the WUSV Agility event. I, for one, had absolutely no idea that there was a WUSV Agility Championship. But I would certainly think we have plenty of top GSDs in this country who could represent us very well. All we need to do is make it possible. Somewhere along the line there seems to be a failure to communicate.

As a person who tried desperately to get a Canadian team together to send to the WUSV 2012 Agility Worlds, I am quite worried that our sport will be cast aside in this venue. Since WUSV and AKC are quite different, we wish to ensure that both the American WDA and the Canadian GSSCC are aware well ahead of time and can start a team selection process in a timely manner. Thank you to anyone who can direct me to whomever is dealing with these matters.
