Nov. 17-19th weekend -
This just in from Karen Stewart, owner-trainer of "Zephyr" ... Vanderbilt's Paint Bye Thunder (Zephyr) obtained her Master Agility Dog of Canada title on Friday, Nov. 17th. She did this in high fashion with a first place and the fastest time in the highly competitive 22 inch class. It was truly a run done in the "zone". Later that day the Judge came up and congratulated us on an excellent performance. She said that if the club had a "Judge's Choice" for the run of the day it would have been ours! What a great feeling! Also the same day Zeph and her little NSDTR friend Kootenay teamed up for a clean run in Masters Team, this run completed Zephyr's Master Team Dog of Canada title. Not quite four years old Zephyr has shown that Samoyeds can compete with the best of them! Thanks for being a great partner!
