MDTC Member Profiles and Brag Page

Wisconsin State Fair 2015 - Agility Performers Saturday August 8th, was MDTC’s day to be featured at State Fair’s new K-9 Sports Arena. We started out and ended the day with great Obedience Demos under the K-9 Arena tent. We also put on a Rockin’ Agility coliseum demo to an appreciative crowd! We set-up and ran a full course of 18 obstacles. Our agility demo teams consisted of: Tracy McCarty/Zeni & Wikki, Ellen Mack/Lola, Mollie Sisson/Speed, Daryl Stuppan/Cashmere, Rick Harwell/Rocket and Theresa Harwell/Sky. This was a perfect show group as it represented the stages of agility from Novice/Green first timers to Advanced/Skilled and seasoned. This video shows Daryl and Cashmere, as an advanced team, as well as Tracy and Wikki as a newer team. A LOT of work, effort and heart went into making this event successful, and it showed! Club spirit and the sport at it’s finest!!!
