GRAY — Annaka Miller of Gray and her border collie/whippet mix, Cody, have been chosen to compete in July at the Kennel Club UK’s Junior Open Agility World Championship in the United Kingdom.
Miller, the first and only youth competitor from Maine to make the American Kennel Club Junior Open Agility World Team, was chosen along with Cody for the intermediate team, and with corgi mix, Shamu, as an alternate for the small dog team.
With several family members active in dog showing and obedience training, Miller, 16, grew up showing dogs from the time she was 2½ years old.
