Where dogs and people come together to play!

AKC Judge Erin Schaefer

Hello! Always smiling, I have been involved in agility since 1990 and an AKC and UKI judge since 2008. Agility has taken me all over the world and I have been fortunate to meet so many wonderful people and dogs along the way!

A little about me and my dogs! I began agility with American Eskimo, Stasch in 1990. He also had his share of top national accomplishments.

In 2000, I won the Agility National Championship with fabulous Shetland Sheepdog Jag. We went on to be the first individual Gold medal winners at the FCI World Championships in 2002 in Dortmund Germany. Jag and I were on the AKC US team for five consecutive years as well as the US Open team. He was also the first Sheltie to win the top AKC Shetland Sheepdog dog in 2000. I have achieved many MACHs with different dogs over the years and love the camaraderie and enjoyment I get to see on the agility course!

I am from New York City, but now reside in MA. I share the house with two Shelties, a McNab, a German Shepherd – oh, and husband Ben!

Thank you for having me out to your beautiful island!
