Chris and I met Ken and Chris McClung during the 1990s at a Club Med on San Salvador. They had a flatcoat and ran a multimedia training business and so did we. Ken had just completed the ARC with Chris H.
We arranged that I would accompany Chris M to an agility trial to see her youngest flatcoat, Jazz, in action. Jazz is both gorgeous (successful in breed showing), talented (in agility, obedience and gundog work) and has a great character – Sam eat your heart out! From the intense heat of central Florida, the Virginia weather was strikingly cold and wet – reminded me of Good Ol’ Blighty. Despite this, Jazz did a fantastic clear in his agility round to place 2nd and made a very small mistake in his jumping – probably because the ground was affecting both members of the team. Jazz reminded me of the best elements of Poppy and Jolly.
Watch the video to see him attacking the course with joy.
The journey back to Chris and Ken’s house took about 2.5 hours and this was one of Chris’s more local trials!!! Now in North Carolina, we met Doc who is also gorgeous, well behaved and affectionate, and were treated to Ken’s incredible cooking.
