British world team members Lynne and Pete Stephens have brought over 25 years of training experience with them from the U.K. They've trained a wide variety of breeds and handlers of all abilities.

Following her initiation into the world of dog training with Brandy, her pet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Lynne discovered British Working Trials. These involve obedience, tracking, searching, agility and patrol work skills. In 1987 she went on to win the coveted Associated Sheep, Police and Army Dogs (ASPADS) Police Dog of the Year competition, to which only the country's best dogs and handlers were invited to compete.

Lynne and Pete have qualified and gained top places in all the major U.K. agility finals, including Crufts and Olympia. Their first major achievement at this level was in 1996 and one or both of them have represented the family at these finals almost every year since, often being placed in the top three. Both Lynne and Pete competed as members of the British team at the 2003 Agility World Championships in Lieven (France). Lynne was also part of the British team that went to Italy in 2004.

Lynne has now been living and training in America since October 2004. During this time she has qualified for the USDAA Nationals three times with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Quiz and twice with her Border Collie, Chess, reaching the semi-finals of the Grand Prix with both dogs in Arizona in 2005.

In 2007 she qualified for the AKC Nationals held in Ohio in March with Quiz, finishing overall 23^rd in the 12th division in a class of around 230 dogs.

Turbo, her youngest Border Collie born in 2005 is now competing at excellent / masters level.

Taco is the latest Cavalier to join her family. He has begun his agility career now and has his novice jumpers title. He enjoys the running and jumping, but has not decided if this is going to be his greatest love in life. Pete and Lynne are enjoying helping him decide.
