Facilitator:
Rebecca McKay - Instructional  Assistant & Advanced Agility Student at Sherwood Barks

Rebecca's dogs Sadie & Spicy took home the hardware at a recent Disc Dog Trial

Spicy, at just one year old took home most of the hardware:
Saturday:  2nd on High Five, 2nd Toss & Catch, and 3rd on Bullzeye.
Sunday: 1st on High Five, 1st on Toss & Catch, & 1st in Freestyle.
Overall:  Medium Dog Champion......................
Spicy and I also won the 1st Alberta part of the Canadian Disc Dog Derby with a catch at 106 feet and won Rebecca a little money.

Sadie was 4th on the Saturday:Toss & catch and 2nd on the Sunday bullzeye. She really improved from the last disc trial.
She would have had a lot more to show for it if Spicy wasn't hogging all the places. She also has the funny expression on her face when I take a picture of her. Its almost like she is smiling!
