No risk no win!
Hey there, fellow dog lovers and agility enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to have you join me on this incredible journey through the world of canine agility.
My name is Zeljko Gora, and my passion for agility training started all the way back in 1992 when I teamed up with my faithful mix breed companion, Astor. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of an adventure that would span over three decades and bring me closer to my four-legged friends in ways I could have never imagined.
In 1994 I became a member of Croatian National Team and my family grew by one when I welcomed the energetic Malinois, Mel, into my life. Together, we embarked on a journey that would see us conquering the Agility World Championship (AWC) and the European Open (EO) courses. The bond formed between us was unbreakable, and Mel's enthusiasm for agility was simply contagious.
The year 2004 brought the arrival of Border Collie Mac and Malinois Djurda. While our time with Mac was tragically cut short due to epilepsy, the joy and energy he brought into my life will forever be cherished.
In 2008, Border Collie Tip joined our team, and today, at 15 years old he is retired but still as sprightly as ever.
Fast-forward to 2010, and we welcomed another Malinois, Gunga, into our pack. With every addition, our family grew stronger, and our passion for agility only intensified. In 2016, Border Collie Hash became our partner in crime, and in 2020, Border Collie Smoke completed our team. These amazing dogs have not only filled my life with boundless love but have also given me the privilege of competing alongside them in some incredible events.
