2012 ABC National Obedience High In Trial Winner
Little Miss Vanna Banana. What can I say about this little girl? She is one of
the sweetest dogs I have ever known. Even at 10 plus years of age, she is always
the rst one to engage another dog to play with her. She loves everyone and every
dog she has ever met. She is my best lap warmer, and the most challenging dog I
have ever shown. A very smart dog is not necessarily a good thing, and Vanna is
extremely smart. An easy dog to train to do the exercises, Vanna was an incredibly
difficult dog to show. She taught me more than any of my other dogs in this regard.
She helped teach me that I need to be consistent with training and showing, and to
show exactly the same as I train. Whether training or showing, if I blinked my eyes,
she was aware of it. If I got nervous, she was also nervous; it would be too much for
her and she would shut down.
For all that she has taught me, I cannot thank her enough. For all that she has
given me, I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I know that it was difficult for her,
but she always tried. For that, I cannot ask any more of her. I have retired Vanna and
hope to have many more years with this wonderful, sweet little girl.
Thank you Tom and Judy Robin for allowing me to have her.
Thank you for your interest
