Year End Stats!

I have so much fun training and trialing my guys, they all bring something different to the ring and each training session, I am always learning how to adapt to their motivation style, speed and physical and mental capabilities (as well as them adapting to my mental capabilities) I'm not sure how we will top last year but we will try our best!!

Kaleb at the AAC Nationals in New Brunswick

For the second year in a row Kaleb is (unofficially) 
the #1 Flat-coated Retriever in Canada in AAC!! 

He ended his year with 34 Qs. 

He had great year in 2008: 
• he got his ATCHC, 
• Bronze Award of Merit
• placed 7th at the AAC Nationals.


Gyppie looking a little cross-eyed, maybe because she can't breath ...
 it looks like I'm choking her!
Gyp (by my calculations) is around the #35 Border Collie in Canada - which I know doesn't seem all the impressive, but there are hundreds of them on the stats page.

She ended her year with 36 Qs. 

She too had an amazing year which really still seems unreal!! 
In one year of trialing:
• she got her ATCHC
• she placed 5th at Nationals
• and also got her Steeplechase title.


Not to be forgotten JANE! She is the #7 Veteran Jack Russell Terrier
• Jane got her Silver Award of Merit (25 Standard Runs and 50 Masters Games) 
• and her Steeplechase Title

She was entered in 5 trials and brought home 20Qs

Way to go K-man, Gyp, and Jane! Agility seems like so much fun, and Loki certainly does love to run.

Yellows are so pretty. I love looking at pictures of Duncan (kippenhill) and Luka (raminm) on Flickr. Well, all flat-coats are pretty, no matter the color.

Good luck to you and the pack this year with the agility trials (and all the other doggy events) =]
