Visit Harry, Tasha's brother

After her leg injury, Tasha returned to the dock and fought a brave battle but finally lost her fight to cancer on 11/06/08 at the age of 10. She is survived by her human dad Jim and her dog brother Harry.

Tasha, a Chocolate Lab born in New Canaan CT, attended her first DockDog event in September 2005 but refused to jump.  She started jumping in 2007 and has been improving ever since.  Tasha's National Personal Best is 15' 10" jumped in Manheim 2007 where she earned two legs toward her Senior National Title.  Her Regional National Best is 17' 5" earned in Salisbury, July 2007.  Jim and Tasha made the long trip out to Rogers, Minnesota In October to compete at the 2007 Nationals.  They encountered cooler weather and in the pouring rain on Sunday, finished 4th in the Veteran Finals while meeting a lot of people they would never see otherwise.  Tasha ADORES her duck and enjoys anything Jim likes to do.
