Samson and Lisa Earn First MACH in Fort Worth

Lisa Harper and her stellar sheltie, Samson, earned their first MACH (Master Agility CHampion) in Fort Worth, TX at the end of August, 2009.

Samson earned  his 20th Double Q on Saturday of the three day show. Harper and Samson had gone into the show needing only one more Double Q to earn the coveted MACH title.  The MACH is the American Kennel Club's highest agility title.

To make the MACH even more sweet, the team finished the Double Q in Jumpers Wtih Weaves under Judge and fellow City Dogger Candy Nettles.  And then the celebration began!!

Lisa and Samson have trained under Kristin Kaldahl, owner of City Dogs, from puppy obedience classes through their MACH.  

This is City Dogs sixth MACH - far and away the highest MACH total of any school in the metro area.
