Storm at class


Here's a snap of Storm at class. She picked up her first point in Calgary. She is Piroska Fire Storm, owned by David & Lori in Swift Current out of the Fling/Scanner litter last February.
Congratulations to Lucy!

Lucy and Lynn were back in Calgary for Agility on the weekend and had 4 qualifying runs out of 7. In the Agility Association of Canada that's fantastic as to get a Q you must have a perfect run - 100 out of 100. In other Agility Associations you are allowed up to 15 faults. They are now in Master's Gambler and have 2 legs in Master's Jumpers and 1 leg in Master's Standard. Congratulations on an amazing weekend!



Belle

Congratulations to the Zalaskys on Belle's BOB & WB on the weekend. She was handled by their young daughter, Megan. They made a beautiful partnership and picked up 3 points leaving Belle with 8 points on her Can Ch.
