Quinta is a fantastic agility dog--very athletic, focused, and crazy about the sport. If she doesn't go completely bonkers from excitement and run her own course while totally ignoring me, she usually takes first place. Quinta has one leg each towards her AKC Novice Jumpers Preferred, Novice Jumpers and Novice FAST titles. In NADAC competition, where she excels because the courses allow her to work further from me, she has her Novice Jumpers Superior rating (200 points) and one leg towards her Open Jumpers title. She has her Novice Regular and Chances titles with points towards her Outstanding ratings. She has her Novice Tunnelers title and Outstanding rating. She has two Novice Touch N Go legs and two Novice Weavers legs.

Quinta competing at an agility trial
Quinta is more often called The Wild Thing, rather than "Quinta." I am working hard to civilize her, but not making a whole lot of progress. She loves to body slam me at every chance and is quite accomplished at surprising me, erupting from a supposedly peaceful, even comatose state. She's a great agility dog. I hadn't planned to show her until the fall of 2006 because she's not steady on weaves yet, but when Mem'ry got sick, I substituted her at the NADAC trials in May. In her first four trials, she qualified all four times in Novice Jumpers with four first places. She also got and 2 Novice Tunnelers legs, both with 1st place too, as well as 2 Novice Chances legs (that class is only pass/fail, no placings).

She's an incredible athlete
and an extremely intense ball chaser.
If you look closely, you can see the ball in the far right corner of these photos.
