This was… supposed to be our year… and in a way, it really was, despite being unable to really showcase your stuff. Our dreams to come in and compete in Versatility were dashed when you came into season 3 days before the obedience and rally trial, meaning that you couldn’t actually showcase your amazing talents … More Nationals – Mazikeen

Chunky also did remarkably well, and finished her Rally Novice Title and picked … More Cumberland, MD Dog Show
