Joyful thoroughly enjoys agility and is ready to show.

Joyful is an absolute joy to live with. She seems to be intent on living up to her name, because she's the most "up", cheerful, happy dog I have ever seen. She is doing extremely well in agility training. As I expected, she is quite an athlete like both parents. She is extremely nose-driven so I hope to seriously work tracking with her when I have time.
Joyful at 19 months, retrieving. She's a maniac retriever.
She always has to track everywhere the ball rolled each time she returns with it.
