SuperJet

I thought Jet was due a birthday post all of her own, because she is to Katie what Kim is to me so I know what a special girl she is for her mum.

When Jet was a couple of months old she got a very serious disease and nearly died, and although nobody could really believe that Katie was going to lose the amazing, bouncy little pup she’d just brought home, it was beginning to look like there was no way to recover. But Jet proved then what an amazing little dog she really is, and survived and grew up to be a real one-in-a-million dog.

Not only is Jet gorgeous and cuddley and just lovely to have around, she’s an amazing multi-talented and enthusiastic competitor. Before her 2nd birthday she qualified and competed in Obedience at Crufts, and was sincerely told by a Championship handler that if Katie wanted her to, Jet could really go places in Obedience. But then Katie started Jet in her agility career and realised she had a potential superstar on her hands. I was lucky enough to get to compete with Jet at her first KC show and she placed 3rd despite not having her mum there. Several good agility handlers commented that Jet had bags of talent, enough to race up the Grades. But then Katie got into flyball, and Jet now runs with one of the top teams in the country and has got her Flyball Dog Advanced award before turning 3 years old. What more could you want?!

I can’t wait to see where Jet goes next because she’s one of my favourite little pooches, even though she has stumpy legs and extra skin and likes to pretend to be a Labrador. I know Katie will get the best out of Jetly because they are a perfect partnership, and I know they’re going to achieve just as much in the next three years.

(This is also a post to persuade Katie to get her arse in gear and enter some agility shows, because I want to see Jet running in Grade 5 next year where she belongs.)
