Thornapple America The Beautiful "Maris"
June 19 - News from Marko in Croatia!
Yesterday we were whole day in the woods, I just wanted to show one muddy picture.
Please DO NOT put it on the web :-))))) She is so dirty!!!!! Last week Maris passed her agility course,
actually she was first in her class!!!! I was so so so proud, look at her flying and she is so temperament
as you can see on the picture!!!!! After this we continue training and later on we will compete, she loves
it and it is good for body development. Regards, Marko
Dirt Don't Hurt Marko! Just ask Evan!
Maris is beautiful when she's show groomed and most beautiful when she is just being Maris playing in the mud!
CONGRATS on an outstanding agility dog!
