On April 7, 2001, at Knight Field, Camano
Island,Washington, I entered my ninth official ASFA Lure Coursing event,
sponsored by W.R.A.G. I did great, but I didn't win anything.
In fact, I tied with 3 other dogs for last place! But after the
racing was done, there were some dogs that were ready to be
certified. Since I only got to run twice, and I wasn't running
tomorrow (the dogs that were running the next day needed to rest up), I
volunteered to be a by-dog. That means I got to run without my
racing jacket on.
My buddy, Bailey, got first place in the Open class and
became a fellow Field Champion! (He ran with me when I was
certified.) We were all very excited for him.
There were 9 field champions running. For my
preliminary run, I ran with Lily and Fila.

you!")
In the Final run, I ran with Wren and Magic.
There it goes!

Here's me being by-dog for Tiny...
...and looking fierce.
The judges were Charles Roberts from Oregon City, OR and
Mike Savage, from Spokane, WA.
