Betty Hinson: Star was # 2 over all Papillons in the AKC Agility senior league, only beaten out by .110 tenths of a second by her daughter Driver. Yahoo!
Nick is holding his # 2 spot in sophomore level, but now that he is adjusted, round 5 maybe different.
I am proud of all my dogs that are running league! This fall is a new level added for dogs without titles which the dogs don’t have to do weaves or the seesaw. Great for beginners.
