“Running Formula 1 with a TANK”... by Marcos Yañez
Border Collies, German Shepherds and Malinois breeds are especially
valued for work and canine sports. They have the physical power, they seem
made for it and learn very fast.

I have always been a fan of dog sports so in 2005 I made a curious choice.
My wife and I decided to buy a dog. We studied many breeds and finally chose the English Bull Terrier.
We were fascinated with their egg-shaped heads and because we heard that they are considered , The clown
of the dog breeds. “Jacinta” then came into our lives, a beautiful white bull with a black ear. Her training was
part of the project which would soon lead us all to compete in the sport of Agility.

The experts on the subject said that Bull Terriers could practice Agility, but no one would be a champion of
this discipline. “The Bull Terrier is aggressive” or “that bitch will not be able to” were phrases that
accompanied us every day in our sports training. Since I am stubborn like Jacinta , I continued to work in
silence because I was sure that my bull was going to surprise everybody.
Everything changed when at her first competition. Jacinta dazzled people
all over the world with her speed and concentration. From then on my
Bull Terrier has been the center of attention at all events.

Jacinta leads in the Chilean Agility Championship, competing on a par with
the fast Border Collie.
Today, after three wonderful years I can say with pride that my Bull Terrier
integrates the selection of Chilean Agility. In March of this year we went to
compete at the Championship of America and the Caribbean Agility, held
in Argentina. Our best success was when Dan Wroblesly, the captain of the
Brazilian selection of Agility and two time world champion told me, “I have
been doing agility for 20 years and have never seen a Bull Terrier do what
you do with your dog, this is incredible”.
After something like that there is not much to add. Jacinta and all the Bull
Terriers are a wonderful breed that can unfold successfully in any discipline.
