Scooby and I got our first Q in AKC standard last weekend in El Paso, Texas. Now we have a leg in Obedience, Rally, JWW and Standard.

Thanks again to Sandy and Bruce of the fundamentals and ongoing support in our Agility efforts.

From Joan:

Hey, Sandy and Bruce,

Al, Scooby and I are now in our new home in Las Cruces, NM. I want you two to be the first to know. Scooby Doo got his first Q in AKC jumpers and a 4^th place. Needless to say Al and I are thrilled. We went to the Great Dane Nationals this past fall in Chandler, AZ and got a first place in Novice Obedience and a 4^th in Novice Rally.

All the hard work you put in with Scooby is finally paying off. Thanks to you both.
Joan Keif

From Jennifer:

Theo Training with Sandy has given both of my dogs more self confidence. We recently added "Theo" Foxpointe's Ramblin Man to our family in March of 2005. He had no agility training and had much to learn about city dog life and families. Theo gained skills and confidence quickly through privates and then small group classes with Sandy. I think he will be ready for Novice competition in the Spring. Besides Agility, working at USAgility has given me and my dogs a close circle of both people and dog friends.

From Staci:

We competed at the NADAC trial on 10/8 and 10/9. Turbo received his title in Novice Tunnelers. Weavers - 1^st and 2^nd, Q in both Standard - 1^st place in both classes.
