Terry Hawkins and Her Mixed Breed Stars!

When I sent out an email on the article I had just posted - Basketball vs Dog Training,  I received the following comment back from my friend Terry Hawkins. She competes...VERY SUCCESSFULLY, in CPE Agility with her 2 mixed breed dogs, Lucky (now retired) and Chewie. Lucky has also earned her Mixed Breed Utility Dog Title (Obedience)

"I love this comparison. It's funny when you go back to foundation work with
a new dog how much of it becomes a type of dance with moves that feel
natural especially when you watch the newbies who are struggling to
understand how to do a front cross.  I would have to say none of my dogs
would be considered "sexy" and Sharon can attest she did not expect a lot
out of my first agility dog Lucky but lots of practice and praise and she
retires a well titled canine with a lot of attitude.  That repetition in
practice so it comes naturally under pressure is what it is all about. "

Several years ago, Terry and her dogs were featured in Clean Run Magazine. Here is a link to the article-click on Preview.
