It was a great weekend altogether. On Friday, Max competed in singles. He placed third in the tournament and the exciting news was he had a 4.3 second run. Fantastic run Max!
We had a visitor both Saturday and Sunday, our team member Sheila Shelley came out to visit. We lost Sheila and her racing members several years ago when her job moved her to St Louis. She is now working for Purina and came out wearing team colors. Although she recently lost both Trinity and Bailey she has two new family members and they all came out to cheer on the team.

Gary and Beth traveled to Franklin, TN for an AKC Agility Trial on October. 8th and 9th. The team did not bring back a lot of ribbons this weekend, it was a tough weekend. Keira and Ky did not qualify all weekend but they had some great runs. Jack, in his second trial, and running slow, managed to qualify once, earning a 3rd Place, and Mikki also qualified once earning a 2nd Place.
Gary, Brandy and Beth all wanted to show off their new babies. Gary got a new Border Collie, Madison (Maddie), Brandy has Libby, a yellow lab, and Beth got Breeze, a new Australian Shepherd. We hope that the babies will be our next generation of Agility Champions.
After much consideration and thought, Diva’s current owners feel that it would be best to find a new permenant home for her. Diva is a Border Collie/Lab mix and is only 10 months old. She is housebroken, Spayed, and current with her shots. She is a fantastic family member and needs a good home. Any one who is interested please contact Gary and we will get you in touch with Diva and Family.
