The Ridgeback, Issue #2
2011 RRCUS Top Performers Issue

In March 2010, Kanzu debuted in his first agility trial at the Belgian Tervuren Club trial in Orange County where he earned his Novice Jumpers title in his first 4 days of agility. This year, exactly one year later and at the same show he debuted at last year, Kanzu earned 3 double qualifying scores in a row to reach a very important milestone of 20 Double Qs.

In order to earn a Master Agility Championship (MACH), a dog must have perfect runs and be under course time to qualify in the Jumpers and the Standard course on the same day. This is a “Double Q”. He must also have 750 points (a point is earned for each full second under course time). Kanzu now has his 20 Double Qs. He still has to complete the other part of the MACH requirement and reach the goal of 750 points. While this is still a lot of work, the great news is, Kanzu can earn these points by qualifying in either the Jumpers or Standard course at a trial , and no longer has to have perfect runs in both on the same day. (See Kanzu’s progress toward the 750 points on the home page under MACH Progress).

Huge congratulations to Kanzu and his handler Tracy Tennison of Citrus Hill Canine Center for reaching the 20 Double Qs. It is an accomplishment and makes the MACH a real possibility. This awesome accomplishment was made even more special by having occurred on the exact anniversary of Kanzu’s one year agility anniversary and on the exact date of his first agility title one year ago.
