Twister, a sedge-colored Chesapeake Bay Retriever, was born on October 13, 2006. Her name comes from the tornado of energy that she always has. She has been a great family dog with a wonderful, friendly personality. Like most Chessies, she loves to swim and retrieve.
Twister's first event was in May 2008, where we all were immediately hooked. We joined Chesapeake DockDogs that weekend. In 2008, we traveled all around the US, having fun and meeting new people and dogs along the way.
Youth Handler James, one of the youngest handlers in DockDogs, made his debut November 2008. In one weekend, he already surpassed some of Mom's and Dad's best jumps. He had a blast being handler for his doggy friend, and appreciated all the encouragement from fellow competitors, spectators, and family. Twister looks forward to jumping and swimming some more with everyone in the family in 2009.
