September 03, 2013 • Trends
FIDO’s friend Raja shared her latest blog update with us – check out this “sneak peak” below:
Champion Cy Ty attains his C-ATCH Championship! Refusing to be sidelined by illness, injury and family tragedy, Cy the Shih Tzu has shaken off all obstacles and made his run for Canine Gold! Earning a total of Qs120 (quality benchmarks) at a trial in Dexter, Michigan at the Canine Recreation Center. Cy has leapt to a pinnacle of agility glory. Raja says, “Cy, I knew you when… and I knew you’d go all the way to becoming an official champ!”
The Olympics of dog fitness is not a single event, but a series of athletic challenges in which championship comes after lengthy commitment and true and consistent performance. One of those venues is CPE, Canine Performance Events in which dogs of all kinds, all sizes and all backgrounds can compete through obedience, agility and athleticism in running challenging courses, responding to direction from their human team partner and succeed in running, leaping, tunneling, balancing their way to a smooth and speedy run of all the obstacles.
Is CPE healthy for dogs physically and mentally? Yes! Does CPE strengthen the dog/human relationship? Yes! Is travel involved? Yes! Is it fun? Yes!!! Raja loves CPE and he’s really proud of his good friend Cy, the second Shih Tzu in the world to win the coveted C-ATCH distinction as a Canine Performance Event Agility Trial Champion.
