	Star and my 3 doxies are rescues. I compete in rally and obedience with Star and she has earned her BN RN and RA title. Wiggles one of my doxies was an agility champion in 4H (not sure if that counts) and he is going to get his BN (obedience) soon (he has 1 leg, needs 2 more). I am going to start rally with another of my doxies, Maggie, very soon...she needs to get comfortable around large groups (she was abused before I got her and can get very scared).

Because I'm- Duncan, that's- why

	Risa just earned her RE in AKC Rally this weekend. We're now going to work towards the RAE though I don't think she will probably get it. (We don't trial that frequently, not because I think she's incapable. )

I'm triple- superior MAD- now!

	Sassy and Maxwell were rescues. Sassy was an earthquake dog, lost as a pup after the Northridge quake and a stray a couple times after that. Max was an owner relinquish that sat at the pound for 2 weeks waiting for ME. I didn't get Sassy to do agility because I had never heard of it but Max was going to participate whether he wanted to or not. Dratted sport is addictive. Sassy earned her novice and advanced titles in USDAA and NADAC, many legs in PIII USDAA but no titles. Max earned a triple superior in NADAC. MAD and 3 triple Qs short of whatever the highest Performance III title is in USDAA and Level III completed and some Level Vs in CPE. Both retired from the sport when in double digits, Max last year at 12, Sassy at about 11 years old. Lots of USDAA competitors in my area started out with rescued dogs and moved to performance bred dogs after the first one retired.

	Mihkoa here was my first. A rescue dog. And she had SO much energy and smarts... as I read more about her breed I realized she needed a job to do. And having bad hips... well that mean she had to stay strong or you know what they say... Use it or loose it. Dare here I got as a puppy from rescue. He is a total mix breed, but sheltie/pom/papillon cross. The rescue owner prefers to adopt dogs out to sport homes and that is how we got him, for agility. He enjoys it quite a bit... but not as much as Mihkoa.
