Kenya (Retired) – AAD 2014

About Kenya

“A chocolate lab who benefits from the natural energy found in chocolate! Is back in the agility world after a 2 year absence for slamming into the side of a moving car – I am not sure who was going faster! Regardless she qualified for Nationals in 2012 with 436 points at Regionals… impressive considering her last Regionals performance in 2008 was a whopping 10 points!!!”
