A few words about Riva, from owner, Bonnie:
Riva is a natural for obedience, with a wonderful desire to "work" because she loves the "job" itself. She is very feisty and the more difficult the exercises the more she excited she gets. She always has a happy and eager attitude towards obedience and agility work.
She obtained her CD at 1 year of age with an average of 197+. She
scored first placements in all 6 of her novice shows. She went on to the Eastern regionals in 1996 for a score of 589 out of 600, falling within the top 15 dogs.
In Open, she consistently placed 1st and 2nd obtaining her CDX at 2 years of age.
She competed in the Eastern Regionals again in 1997 with a score of 597.5 out of 600. She was again within the top 15 dogs.
She is currently training in utility and agility and comes to work with me daily.
