Jean Luckett ( Agility Trainer )

Hi everyone.

My name is Jean (wife of Colin and mother of Carol.) I walked the dogs and did the packed lunches, helped out at Bretons and other club’s agility shows and was generally the “gofer” for the family for many years. In 2001 at Discover Dogs I saw this retriever type dog that I really liked and the idea of my own dog and joining in with the family began. Saffie, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, was born just before my birthday in 2004 (that got Colin out of the “what do you want for your birthday” routine.)

I became the agility co-ordinator, as well as helping out with moving equipment for over a year, before I began training Saffie in September 2005. We began competing in early 2006 and we have managed our fare share of clear round rosettes and have now started getting a few place rosettes and the odd trophy. One day we hope to actually win one of the KC classes. (“only if you run faster”!!! say Colin and Carol)

In January 2008 I became a trainer and hopefully manage to encourage handlers and dogs to practice and develop the new skills learnt from our starter trainer. I am also on the Breton’s Committee, joining in February 2008.
