Steve Drinkwater has been involved in the development of Agility in Australia since he first started with his Kelpie Cross, Tessa AD, AAD, in 1989.  He has been on the Inaugural Committee of four specialist Agility clubs and also co-founded the Agility Dog Association of Australia Ltd (ADAA) in 1994.  Steve is currently a Board Member of ADAA, a Senior ADAA Agility Judge and the Global Administrator of the International Agility Link (IAL), a position he has held since jointly creating the concept in 1997.  The IAL is a global competition, involving over 20 countries and 2000 dogs that communicate through e-mail and a web site.  Steve is also a Council Member of the IFCS (representing Oceania).  Steve has conducted Agility seminars in New Zealand, Malaysia, England and Australia to teach handling skills, obstacle training and Judging skills.   Steve currently competes with his Australian Working Kelpie, Tommy AAC, MAAD 8, Gamblers Dog.   Steve and Tommy won the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge in 2000 at the Royal Sydney Easter Show and the ADAA Maxi Dog of the Year in 2002 and 2006 at the Grand Prix.  Steve and Tommy foster a connection on the Agility field that see the two work as a team in a free flowing, yet precise and efficient, manner.   In 2004 Steve was a Judge at the IFCS World Agility Championships in Spain and in 2006 Steve was the Chief Judge at the IFCS World Agility Championships in the Netherlands.

Steve and Cathy formed Yunde Canine Enterprises in 1996 so they could publish a specialist Agility magazine.  The original American magazine, Clean Run (CR) began as a weekly newsletter in 1995.  In 1996 Cathy and Steve were granted the rights to publish/edit the Australian edition known as Clean Run Australia (CRA).   CRA first began as a weekly publication and soon progressed to fortnightly and then to a monthly magazine in 1997. In May 2003 Steve & Cathy published the last edition of CRA.

Yunde Canine Enterprises keeps in stock the majority of Agility related books from Clean Run Productions (US).  Cathy and Steve completed their first book, written and published be themselves in 2001 based on training the beginner dog in Agility with the use of Click & Reward.

Cathy and Steve strongly believe in “quality not quantity”!  This ethos is seen not only through the retail efforts of Yunde Canine Enterprises but in their efforts to promote the sport of Dog Agility.  For every hour they spend working with Yunde Canine Enterprises they give back four hours working as volunteers for non-profit organisations such as the Agility Dog Association of Australia Ltd (ADAA) and the Agility Dog Club of Queensland Inc (ADCQ).
