Del: North American Flyball Association's 2008 Region 8 MVP

Born Jan 29, 1997, Del began her training early in obedience, agility and flyball, enjoying success in each arena. A smart little dog with boundless energy and a desire to work, this little red-head loves flyball. Del became one of the founding members of the River Runners flyball club and has been a great ambassador to the sport, at home and away. She has brought many green dogs and handlers through training, to their first titles and beyond. She is a hit at demos and tournaments, attracting many fans, and has been instrumental in helping to grow the sport in our community.

Del is the top ranked miniature pinscher in NAFA, the first to reach FMCH, ONYX and now FGDCH, often 5 points at a time, and she's still playing as enthusiastically as ever. At age 12, she still tries to beat those border collies (or jacks or poodles ...) in the next lane. She can't understand why she's not in every race, but barks her encouragement to teammates at the line and flies to the box and back for her reward when it's finally her turn. A versatile little dog that can run in any position and for any handler, she is a joy to watch and to run. Please join her teammates in celebrating this little firecracker, Del as the 2008 Region 8 MVP.
