Jetta is a spunky little thing. She has tremendous focus and makes every effort to understand what you ask her to do. Jetta is an enthusiastic worker, especially when it involves retrieving.

We got a delayed start in our obedience training due to some unfortunate injuries. However, she debuted in the UKC Novice ring with a HIT and earned her U-CD in March 2008. 

Jetta earned 2 legs toward her U-CDX in June 2008, both earned with a HIT. Then her obedience career was unexpectedly interrupted in September when she had a grand mal seizure. The following weeks were pretty rough, but it now appears that we've got the seizures fairly well controlled.  You can read Jetta's diary for more info.

Jetta is now retired from obedience due to the side effects of the meds, but we'll continue doing Rally as long as she is willing and able and having fun.

Thank you, Linda, for sending Jetta to me!
