Heidi and Jon moved up from Oxford to Hillam with their two dogs; Jasmine (a Labrador Retriever) and Minstrel (English Springer Spaniel) in September 2007. 

Jasmine’s obsession with tennis balls and fondness for snacks meant that she picked-up Flyball easily and absolutely loves it.  She ran with The Knights of Wallingford Dog Training club, reaching Flyball Intermediate in September 2006, and did several years of agility too.  At home she is loyal and affectionate, loving nothing more than the ends of garlic bread after dinner!

Minstrel, as one might expect, has boundless energy with seemingly supernatural bouncing powers.  She too enjoys chasing after tennis balls and we hope that her enthusiasm can translate into Flyball points!  Minstrel enjoys snuggling up with the cat – and occasionally chasing the cat too!

Heidi is fulfilling a lifelong ambition working as an RSPCA Inspector in the Leeds Group.  Jon is a software developer in London, where he spends alternate weeks.
