The Nationals!!......What an experience!!! From the thrill of the opening ceremonies, to the ribbon placements of each day, to the Maritime Kitchen Party Banquet on Saturday evening, to the last day's exciting runs, to the fantastic vendors, to the wonderful judges, to the closing ceremonies on Sunday night..........it truly was a huge success with no tails left unwagged!!

"Paws Up" to the steering committee of Darr Houssen, Annette Dougay, Shirley Dingley, and Alyson Mitton. These four gals and their groups of volunteers, gave new meaning to the words dedication and hard work!! Thanks for showing the rest of the country what true Maritime hospitality is all about!

Red Rock Agility is very proud of a few of our members who represented PEI at this prestigious event!! Chantal and Jasper, Wayne and Cadeau, and Leah and Hunter made their way to Sussex to take part in some of the fun! Hats off to Wayne and Cadeau for making it to the podium with an 8th place finish in their division! WOW!You made us proud!!

Red Rock Agility would also like to congratulate the other Maritime dogs and handlers who made it to the Top Ten placements and overall finishes. We love agility!!!

While the Eagles were rocking on Magnetic Hill, Red Rock dogs were rocking at the Master's Agility Trial held August 2-3. Congratulations to Cindy Adams and Katie Kate for Top Starters Dog........Roger Savoie and Maggie for Top Advanced Dog.........Wayne Simon and Cadeau for Top Masters Dog!!!!! To top it off, Roger and Maggie earned their Advanced Standard Title!! See you at the next trial!

Knock Knock.......Who's there??......It's Jeri and Erin!!..........Red Rock Agility has been visiting the AVC Vet Camp during July demonstrating agility to the campers, and low and behold, there are the Piercy gals!!


Thanks to Jeri for jumping right in to help, and of course, we put their dogs to work with the Vet Campers! Bonus for us......Erin and Jeri came to our Club practice too, and Erin and Toffee demonstrated some neat things they learned at a recent seminar. Thanks for the visit ladies!!

A hot sunny weekend, and Red Rock Dogs were on fire!! True North Agility hosted a CPE trial July 5-6, and the Rocker's collectively brought home 26 Q's to prove it! Cindy Adams and Katie Kate made their trialing debut, with fellow trialers, Lauren & Levi, Lynn & Jenna, Roger & Maggie, and Leah & Hunter & Henry cheering them on. Agility is so much fun,we can't get enough of it!!

Well, what can we say? Red Rock dogs and handlers had a blast at the NB/PEI Regionals hosted by Master's Agility, June 28-29. All the dogs were put through their paces, and the outcome was bittersweet! Congratulations to Hunter and Leah for obtaining their Advanced Standard title that weekend also. Saturday finished off in fine fashion with a fun filled pot luck hosted by FAST, and of course, never ending laughter! Best of luck to our peers at the 2008 Nationals! Let's show the Nation the best Nationals yet!!

Way to go FAME for hosting two wonderful, well attended trials!! Red Rocker's and their dogs greatly enjoyed a couple of weekends in good company, and are already counting down to your trials next year! As usual, the judges, Dan and Linda Yielding were upbeat, and made everyone feel like Superstars!!

A huge high five for Chantal and Jasper!!! These two received "Judge's Choice" at the Kaper's trial held at Woolastook Campground May 24-25. This team have been working very hard and it's paying off! Way to go Rocker's!

"Red Rock Gets Connected"
What a wonderful way to spend a weekend! A few Red Rock dogs recently made their way to the ever popular " Brenda Aloff Get Connected" seminar hosted by Victoria Craig.


With a unique, zesty style, Brenda entertained the crowd while demonstrating the protocol of the " Get Connected" exercises.

Brenda's new book, " Get Connected With Your Dog " proved to be a huge hit with everyone, and we anxiously await her return next year!!

A cool comfortable weekend made for a relaxing 2 days of trialing at Master's Agility during the holiday weekend in May. Red Rock members, Hunter, Henry, Maggie and Jasper were cheered on by a couple of the newer members, Bob and Jane Manning, who couldn't resist all the hype of trial talk, and went to experience it for themselves! Count on seeing them again in the future!

There's new "Red Rocker's" on the loose, and they recently made their way to their first CPE trial, hosted by True North Agility. The smiles said it all as Cindy and Bronson, Lynn and Jenna, and Lauren and Levi made their way through all the courses, and have the "Q" ribbons as proof! From a beginner agility class in September, to this trial held in May, it just goes to show that all the hard work is worth it!!
