Welcome back to the VendaVan! In this episode, I'm joined by Alejandro Salas, a well-known agility judge, trainer, and competitor from Spain. We met at the Slovakian Championship in Pezinok, and Alejandro graciously agreed to step out of his comfort zone and chat with me in English—even though Spanish is his forte!

We dive into Alejandro's agility journey, from competitor to international judge, and explore the exciting evolution of Spanish agility. Alejandro shares why the sport is improving by leaps and bounds in Spain and reveals a surprising fact—there are actually more men than women competing in Spanish agility! We also talk about emotions, which are such a big part of the Spanish nature and, of course, agility itself.

But behind every judge traveling the world is a support system, and Alejandro beautifully shares about his wife—the true hero who takes care of their two-legged and four-legged family while he's out making his judging dreams come true.

A huge thank you to Alejandro for his openness and willingness to refresh his English for this conversation. Muchas gracias!
