GILLIAN CRAWFORD (AKC Registered Name; Call Name "Jill") has been involved in agility and obedience since 1988. She was one of the founding members of Rainier Agility Team, one of the Pacific Northwest's largest agility clubs, serving many times as President, Officer, Board of Director(s) and Training Advisor(s). Training her three Samoyeds in agility and obedience has been both rewarding and a constant challenge. Aslan, her beloved Samoyed was one of the first Sammies in the Country competing in agility in USDAA, NADAC and AKC. Also her beloved Pomeranian MACH “Cowboy” the "Parti-Pom" - was a finalist at AKC nationals in Massachusetts. Her Sheltie “Connor” has just been retired at 11 years old, and she now is playing with her Golden Retriever “Steal” (and yes … we have a Border Collie … so add a BC to the list !!). Jill has been judging AKC agility since 1997 and enjoys both her time as a competitor and the constant learning experience of an agility judge. She was selected to judge the AKC Nationals in 2003 in Long Beach, California. When not working at ARGUS RANCH FACILITY FOR DOGS (www.argusranch.com), in Auburn, Washington, she pays her bills by working for a large law firm in downtown Seattle as a litigation specialist.

“One of the things that I love about Agility is there is a place for all of us to have fun and compete with our pet(s) – whether it is to aspire for World Team, goals of achieving a MACH or winning your specific breed’s national” we all are embraced and supported in this sport!”
