Bungee & Keen!

Bungee & Keen meet at The 2008 Canada Cup! (click on the link to visit Royacker's Kennels & the Canada Cup)

Introducing Bungee's half-brother: "Keen", shown below with Bungee.


Keen belongs to Stacy Winkler, owner of Pawsitive Action Training, located in Vista, California, USA. (click on the link to visit Stacy's school). It was great meeting up with them here in Ontario, Canada, at this year's Canada Cup! (click on the link to read more about the competition).

Keen & Bungee are both sired by Jenny Damm's "Elvis". (click on the link or see "Family Links" on the side of the blog). Keen is about 8 months older than Bungee.

Keen was entered in the Canada Cup - no small feat in itself for such a young dog! While it was not a perfect run there were many brilliant moments for them to be very proud of. Keen is really looking a lot like his father these days. He is also delightful, loving & SO sweet; visibly solid in body & brains. Watching his run, it's clear that Keen has the "right stuff" to go all the way in his sport career!

Here are some more photos of Bungee & Keen together.













BLOOPERS!

There is a great pond at Royackers Agility Facility, home of the Canada Cup. (click on the link to see the aerial photos of this amazing facility!) Though you can not see the beach or shoreline behind the dogs, there was a LOT for any dog to be distracted by as we were trying to get the photo in a scenic spot with the water in the background!

ooops!
This photo shows Bungee, a little of the pond, and a little of Keen :-(


A couple of dogs rather bummed out to stop & pose for photos perhaps? Come on MOM...there's a pond we could be swimming in RIGHT there!!!


If it wasn't Keen wanting to play it was Bungee.


Below, Keen's YouTube video: "Learning to Jump" (click on the link to go to Stacy's channel) Note: The video plays about 1:00 minute, the audio (music) goes longer than the film.






I will add the links to Stacy's website & YouTube Channel to our "Family Links" section, on the side of the blog.

Hard as it was not to have a dog entered, Royacker's Canada Cup has become an agility event not to be missed. The competition brings out some of the best teams in Canada and "Good Vibrations" can be counted on all the way around at Royacker's Agility events...always a friendly and absolutely beautiful place.

Stacy bringing Keen up to the trials just made the day all the more special, let's hope that becomes an annual tradition for them!

Now all we have to do is convince the rest of the family to come and it will really be a trial to see! Canada Cup 2009 anybody??? :-)))

Happy Training!
Remember...It's About Love!
