Visit Harry, Tasha's brother

Tasha was recently (2/13/2008) forced to retire due to a leg injury. She will now participate in fund raising for K9 Cancer and looks forward to seeing her brother Harry start to compete later in the summer. 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.
