The agility community is saddened by the news today that Rohan Ally passed away after suffering a heart attack last week at a trial. Rohan was an incredibly kind friendly man whose love for his dogs, family and the sport always shone. He competed predominantly in ANKC trials and was heavily involved in the Jimboomba club but also competed in ADAA events on occasion, including at ADCQ. Our thoughts are with his wife Meegan and his children at this difficult time.
