Rio is truly a versatile home companion. She has taken to every task asked of her and given 110% back. She competed in field trials until she retired. Afterward she earned her hunt test title, agility titles, and obedience titles. The obedience titles were earned without the aid of any classes. She took her guidance from a novice obedience handler and earned her CDX with 3 back to back qualifying scores. Both agility jumpers and standard titles were earned in 3 weekends with 5 first place finishes and 1 second. She excels at every task. This can only be accomplished by a dog with a tremendous work ethic and drive. Rio is still learning and is working on her master hunter, utility, and tracking titles when she is not napping on the couch.
