The United Belgian Shepherd Association had their national specialty last weekend in MI. An all breed agility trial was held in conjunction with it. This was Whimsy's first ever agility trial and she came away with 4/4 Qs, 3 perfect scores, 3 first places, 1 High Scoring BSD and one new title - AG1! I know she isn't a GSD but she lives with a couple (and there was a handsome black coated GSD competing at the trial too) 
UKC agility is a lot of fun but, it's different. It focuses on control and precision a lot more than other venues, although ties are determined by time.The contacts can be smaller and in this case, they were. They have some different obstacles too, such as the hoop tunnel seen in the above run in AG1 and the sway bridge, sway plank, crawl tunnel and pause box that appear in AG2. Some of the regular obstacles also have different requirements - the table has an entry and exit side and there are points off for using the wrong side and some obstacles require a bit of distance starting in AG2.
