Happy Birthday Taz!!!

 This is Taz . 

This is his favorite past time.  Playing with the ball!
Taz joined the Munro family household in February 2008.  His birthday is September 24, 2007.

Taz's favorite past time besides playing ball is chasing the cats.  Gizmo enjoys the game, whereas the foster cats do not.

Taz is still working on his flyball skills.  He has his Flyball Dog (FD), Flyball Dog Excellence (FDX) and his Flyball Dog Champion (FDCh) titles.  We are still working on him being comfortable in the lane and I hope that next year he will be burning up the lanes again.  I had the opportunity to time him the night before the Diamonds tournament.  With no dog in the other lane and not having to pass a dog, he clocked in at 4.69 seconds.  Mighty fast!

In the meantime, we are working on his agility skills.  He is going to have to jump 22inches and has some very stiff competition.  The handling skills I will have with him will be vastly different than the skills I use with Pepper.  So far he is proving to be faster than Pepper on the agility field as well.  He needs to learn some control but that will come as we work through the different exercises.

We are most fortunate to be able to watch his brother Flash grow up.  We are also fortunate to be able to watch him excel at agility and know that Taz has that same potential.

Happy Birthday Flash and Taz!
