The most famous and most accomplished Beauceron in the sport of dog agility is by far Jordan de l'Atelier du Peintre owned and handled by M. Gerard Mousse.
Jordan placed second at the 1997 World Agility Trials in Copenhagen Denmark out of 112 participants from 23 nations. Jordan has also competed at the World Agility Trials in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, and was a member of the World Champion French agility team in 1999 in Dortmund, Germany placing 7th overall.
Agility is just one of the many activities Jordan and M. Mousse enjoy. Jordan also holds the title Champion de Travail - Obeissance (the French equivalent to an AKC OTCH), and if that is not enough, he also has a tracking title, and he has earned a Ring I title. Talk about a versatile dog! Jordan has also been rated Recommende (cotation 4) at the Nationale d'Elevage (the French National Beauceron Specialty).
Here are some recent accomplishments of other Beaucerons in the sport of dog agility.

He not only received his NADAC Novice regular, gamblers, and jumpers certificates, but went on to earn his Novice Outstanding Performance regular, gamblers, and jumpers certificates and has also eared his Novice Superior Performance regular, gamblers, and jumpers certificates. He is now working at the Open level in NADAC and has already earned an OAC, OGC, and OJC. Nikos and Jimmy are also currently working toward their Master Agility Dog (MAD) title in USDAA. Nikos was the first Beauceron to earn a USDAA ADD and PD1 title and one of only a few Beaucerons who have earned a USDAA AD title. I have seen this team compete and they are a very fun team to watch.

What can I say about my litte girl. I am so proud of her and so thankful to Guy Bonnefoy of France for breeding such a wonderful dog. Soleil earned her first three agility titles in just 3 weeks, all with 1st place ribbons (9 qualifying scores). That was just the start. Since then, she has competed at the 2007 AKC Agility National Championships where she placed 6th overall in the 26" jump height. She has also qualified for the AKC World Team Tryouts in both 2006 & 2007. She is also the number one Beauceron in AKC agility for both 2005 & 2006. I never expected in my wildest dreams that she would be as good as she is. She is just so much fun and the perfect teammate. There are no limits to what she can accomplish.
