This is the original List for Rescue agility dogs. The group was created in April 2003 for sharing brags, insights, training methods, hopes and fears, worries, and personal experiences, with anyone who has RESCUE dogs as their agility team-mates. The group is called "BAGGAGE," not in a pejorative sense, but positively, as in "baggage to carry away all his/her Q's, titles and awards!" We discuss training methods, but more importantly we offer support to other Baggagers who may be having a rough time, as well as congratulations to teams who celebrate a break-through, be it an advanced title or a tiny turn-around. Because of this you may sometimes see a lot of "traffic" on the List. No matter....each and every worry and brag is important to this group!
The members of this List have the wonderful qualities of character to re-home, love and train dogs that other humans have not wanted. These qualities carry over to their treatment of other Baggagers, of course!

"There are compassionate people like Baggagers who are willing to take these hurt, confused, fearful dogs into their hearts and homes, and do whatever it takes to make their lives as full as possible....."
