Top Twenty Jinn




Jinn was once again a DPCA Top Twenty Agility finalist. Our year long push to qualify for Invitationals secured her a place in the top 5 Dobermans in the country. We were very lucky in that the National was held close to home in Lancaster, PA. We stayed with my Mom at the farm the whole time, doing 4 days of local agility trials and then participating in the Top Twenty Event on Tuesday night at the National.

I managed to break my toe a couple of hours before the event started, but taped it all up and toughed it out for my girl. She deserves to be recognized for the little superstar that she is. We had a great time, got to visit with friends I only see once a year and make a few new ones. Jinn is not one to disappoint, she ran two clean runs and placed 4th overall. I am so proud of her, as she is intimidated by all the cheering and the crowd but put on her big girl pants and ran well. There was some very stiff competition, 17 of the best Dobermans in the country were in attendance. I am proud to be included in such a talented, supportive and inspirational group of competitors. We hope to see you all next year in Chicago!
