Canine competition set in Subic Freeport

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT - Dog lovers will have something to look forward to as the 1st Subic Bay Dog Agility Championship kicks off on October 26 at the Remy Field here in this free port.

The two-day event will feature the country's top competitors in events such as the popular DiscDog, or Frisbee and Super Weave competitions.

The competition, organized by the Philippine Dog Athletics Association (PDAA), will be the first agility competition in the Philippines to be sponsored by the United States Dog Agility Association (USDAA).

On October 25, meanwhile, a dog show that will feature tricks, training, and agility and obedience events will be held at the Harbor Point activity center here.

According to George Baker, one of the organizers of the agility championship, the event aims to provide novel, highly entertaining and enriching activities for all participating dogs and their owners, as well as spectators.

"Through this event we hope to build a regional community of dog owners and sports enthusiasts and forge lasting relationships among them," said Baker, a long-time dog trainer.

Baker also said the event was organized so that the country will be able to compete for the World Dog Agility Championship.

"It's now sponsored by the USDAA and it's one of the last hurdles to enable the Philippines to compete," he added.

Baker said that for the past seven years, PDAA members have been holding dog agility competitions across the country.

"Just last year, a PDAA competition was held in Cebu where an estimated 2,000 people were in attendance," he said. (30)
