Kelly's dogs

 BRODY ADXG JDX RA

Brody was a Siberian husky X Border collie. He taught me so much as a trainer, being a very typical husky - recalls and off lead work was really not his strong point!

He was extremely trainable, friendly, and forever happy. Brody won several national Paws N Music titles, and gained qualifications in agility, and rally-o. He also competed in obedience.

Unfortunately Brody was also a chronically unwell dog who's afflictions included allergies, epilepsy, a surgically repaired pneumothorax, and eventually prostate cancer.

FD CH  AG CH WEYAHEAD CHACE 'N' CHOCOLATE ADXG JDX JAX SNX RN

Chace is another dog who has taught me a great deal. She is a very stressy and anxious dog, who is dog reactive with near 100% of dogs that she comes into contact with. I'm very proud of how far we have come as a team.

Chace has ribboned in multiple NZDAC events, as well as a national Paws N Music event. More recently she has gained Trick Dog titles, and we are working towards her champion title.

She really was the push to get into fitness work, because I wanted to give her something that could affect her sports performance regardless to her stress levels in the ring.

J GR CH AG CH DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID JDX JAX ADX 

Deo was a bit of an unknown.... listed as a Catahoula cross fox terrier, his background is somewhat of a mystery! His mum was a tiny fox terrier, and dad was something merle and small. He's only 4.5kg so we're fairly certain that it wasnt a Catahoula! 

Despite his terrier tendancies, he's a super cool dude. Not stressy at all (which is nice after Chace), but not terribly driven about much other than food! We work hard to keep muscle on his tiny frame to keep him competitive against the often much larger mini dogs. His typically straight terrier structure, along with some weird neck things (he's meant to have two prick ears - the fallen over ear is likely nerve damage from a neck abnormality and injury) does mean that some skills are challenging physically for him. 

I'm very proud that Deo was made up to Jumpers Grand Champion at 3 years old, and has made the finals every year he has competed at NCDAC. He was the Jumpers C mini overall winner in 2015. 

YAHOO SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST JD

Evo (Evolution) may be my baby dog, but is one of my best behaved! He's very muchly loved by my school students, and will happily work for them. 

He's got the best temperament, and although can be a soft sensitive boy just adores agility and works his butt off.  He's the fastest, most athletic dog that I have had the privilege to partner with, and I'm excited to see where we go in the future. 

TDCH CADERYN LEICESTERSHIRE BOTANIST (TBC)

Florimania (Flori) is a working cocker spaniel from a gun dog breeder in the Waikato. She's in trining for performance sports (hopefully agility), and has already shown that she is a super smart wee thing - gaining her trick dog champion title before six months of age. 

I'm also hoping that she may be my introduction to the gun dog world, as this is what she was bred to do!
