The DVD from the National Ridgeback Specialty Agility Trial held in September has just been released. It was produced by Michelle Michael of Angel Dawg Productions. Michelle has graciously allowed us to post Kanzu’s runs on the African Treasure Site. The full DVD shows all of the ridgebacks who competed and provides a great opportunity to see the variety of running and handling styles in the breed. DVDs are still available from Michelle at www.angeldawg.com

Thank you Michelle for taking this great footage of our agile Ridgebacks and thanks especially for allowing us to share Kanzu’s runs.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback Club (RRCUS) held the National Specialty Agility Trial on September 19, 2010 in Ventura CA. 43 Ridgebacks were entered in the trial. Most of the top ranked agility ridgebacks were present. Kanzu was one of three ridgebacks and the only boy to double Q (Qualify with perfect scores in Standard (STD) and Jumpers with Weaves (JWW). He earned a third place in STD and a forth place in JWW.

Kanzu had a new experience at the trial. He was quite chagrined when he realized taht he had to share his handler Tracy with other Ridgebacks. He cried and carried on whenever she took another Ridgeback to the ring. But it appeared the competition for Tracy’s attention was a positive motivator as he was crazed to finally get to the ring and get to run with her.

Special thanks to Jennifer Gysler who was the trial chair. It was a wonderful event.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The 2010 national rankings are posted for Straight Racing (LGRA) and Oval Racing (Notra). It was a great year for Kanzu and his family and special friends. He was the #5 Rhodesian Ridgeback in Straight Racing and #3 Ridgeback in Oval racing in the US for 2010. But the year was made extra special because the rankings were shared with family and friends. The Notra ranking was notable for the Tigris name as Kanzu’s brother Peyton was ranked in Notra at #5. And the LGRA rankings were shared with Kanzu’s best gal pal Daisy Mayhem who earned a #11 spot in LGRA.
