DONNER was unquestionably the best
performance dog I've ever had. From a
young pup his drive and joy of training and
working were unequaled. Unfortunately
when he was 5 years old he told me he
just couldn't jump any more, causing his
retirement from all jumping sports. We
never could figure out why. At that time
he was competing in Utility and was
halfway to his MACH. Retiring him broke
both our hearts.
Donner and I grew up in agility together. We
traveled all over the country from Texas to Oregon
to the agility nationals in Massachusetts. We loved
running together and always had a great time.
He was ranked #1 agility collie in the country in
1999.
When he was 11 years old I brought him back out
to play with ducks. He had a ball! Though old age
problems kept him from earning his started title on
ducks, he did earn a High In Trial on the one leg he
did get.
