Berry's Performance Career
What a Great Way to Start 2006!
Mackenzie & Berry earned their NJP
title with back to back perfect scores
& first places at the Land O' Lakes
trial on January 6 & 7.
Once she had finished her CH title,
Berry was ready to run!  She was
handled exclusively by the much
faster Mackenzie, with the goal of
achieving a few titles at the end of
her name.
2006 CWCCA National
Mac & Berry's debut in the
Open Jumpers ring brought a

awesome clean

challenging course.
The name just got a little longer...
April 1, 2007 - Indianhead KC, Eau Claire, WI

To ease back into performance events after taking time out for
puppies, Berry & Mac hit the Rally Obedience ring, looking to add a
couple more letters to the end of Berry's name.  In just 4 attempts,
they had the 3 Q's they needed to add a Rally Novice title to their list
of accomplishments.

Then it was back to agility training...
At it again...
In their first foray back into the agility ring after puppies, Berry
& Mac showed the home crowd how it's done.  They earned
Berry's Open Jumper's Preferred (OJP) title at the Rochester
Kennel Club trial in September with a beautiful run that was
almost 4 seconds under course time, earning them a perfect
score & 1st place.
Berry is now retired from both the show ring & performance events.   
This page has been put together to compile an accounting of what she achieved during
her short career representing Fernbriar as a performance dog.  Our hope is that she was
able to pass her natural drive & ability for agility on to her offspring.
Finale...
After having puppies in June of 08, & then suffering a debilitating
back injury in Sept. 08, Berry was finally in shape to be able to go
back to her favorite thing...agility.  
At the 2009 CWCCA National in Topeka, KS, Berry & Mackenzie
had a beautiful run on a challenging course, including a nice run
thru the set of 12 weave poles (which had always been her
"achilles heel" in the past).  They earned a perfect score of 100 &
were the only competitors in the 8" Open JWW class to qualify.

We hope her kids realize what a set of shoes they are going to
have to fill...
