Agility
Windhounds currently do agility in Canada with the United Kennel Club www.ukcdogs.com, the Agility Association of Canada http://aac.ca/ and the Australian Shepherd Club of America www.asca.org .
Nosework
Nose work is done with www.sportingdetectiondogs.ca . There are many Silkens excelling at Nose work.
Tracking
Tracking can be done anywhere and there is not much needed to start. Dogs learn to first track your scent on a track that you have lain and then learn to track others. As they progress you add turns, age the tracks and different terrains. They love it! The above track was a two year old on his first day ever tracking in the Newcastle area of Ontario, Canada with the local tracking club there.
