Tamber earned her first Flyball title!

Tamber earned her first Flyball title; Flyball Dog (FD); this past weekend. FD requires 20 points. She earned 31 points this weekend to give her a total of 38 points.

We met 2 other Cairns from other Flyball teams this weekend. Cairns are relatively rare in Fllyball. Only 58 are registered with NAFA and only 31 have earned the FD title before Tamber. We've been a bit frustrated that it took about a year to get Tamber this far when some dogs get the hang of it in just a couple months. After talking to the other Cairn owners, I feel much better. One Cairn has been training for almost 3 years and the other for over a year and neither are competing yet. For a Cairn, getting Tamber trained and running in a year turns out to be a very respectable accomplishment.

After the big weekend, Tamber is worn out as you can see from the pics below:
