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.
