Zoe Wins Rally Novice Title

Zoe Wins Rally Novice Title
A few days after her first birthday, Zoe Farney of Ketka, owned by Suzanne Farney of Evansville, IN entered a 3 day Rally trial put on by the Evansville Obedience Club. Zoe entered all three days. The first day she won second place, the second day a fourth place (as her owner didn't do the sign correctly) and the third day a first place which was when she also won the title. Zoe is working hard on preparing for agility trials and expects to enter a UKC agility trial in October. She has to wait until she's older to enter NADAC and AKC trials, however. Except for the teeter, she loves agility and is even learning the weave poles!
