Bandit and Rascal were in one of my very first Foundations for Agility class. These two and their owners stuck with it and two years later are still learning new things and advancing their skills in an advanced agility competition class.

Bandit is a total natural at agility. She’s smart, has great attention and gives her handler a run for the money every time she’s out on the course.

Rascal is one of those “heart” dogs to me. For some reason, a dog will come along and just nestle itself into my heart. Maybe it’s the cowlick on the top of her head. Or her delicate approach to new things. She just absolutely charms me every time I see her.

(What’s funny – is that she looks like the wire-haired, JRT version of my little Gus. They’re going to get to meet next week – so hopefully they’ll be friends.)

And one last shot. One of those OOF and not quite perfect, but kind of cool action shots of Bandit tearing out of the weave poles.

She’s a rat terrier puppy. The name may not stick – Nevada Blue was her litter name. She should have her “real” name sometime soon. Sierra, Sylvia, Juliet? (my vote is for Juliet)
