I

got my first Lab 30 years ago when my husband said if we are getting a dog we are getting a Lab. I started with obedience competition when my instructor suggested I should have something to show for all classes I took with my first Lab Sabrina. Hannibal followed and got his CDX before he passed away young from an auto-immune disease.

Quincy and Cuyler followed, and we started in obedience but found agility in 1995 and our focus changed to agility. Caper joined our family in 2003, and he is now 12 1/2, he has earned 76 titles, including MACH,PACH2, VCD1, titling in obedience, rally, tracking, flyball and dock diving besides agility. I started judging in 2003 when Cuyler suffered what looked like a career ending injury, he did recover and  went on to compete for many more years. In 2010 Kea joined the family, she is fast, loves agility and has been quite the challenge due to her speed. She is still competing and we have a blast running, she also has titled in tracking obedience and lure coursing. This summer Kinzi joined the family, we are training and having a lot of fun learning to work together.

Thank you so much for having me judge for you. I will enjoy the break from winter in your wonderful state. I look forward to having a lot of fun and hope everyone has lots of Qs!  Deirdre (Dee) Crofton
