DECATHLETE'S SIRIUS BLACK

"Zen"

Owner: Jaakko Suoknuuti, Kaarina, Finland

Sirius Black is Harry Potter's godfather and he was Harry's dad's best friend. He is absolutely loyal to his friends.

Zen has A-A hips and 0-0 elbows, both the best possible.

Since day one Zen has been a dog of my dreams. Only problem has been that Zen has so much potential in her that often I can´t even realize it. Zen is very well-balanced, obedient and has very good social skills. She has a good trainability and at home she knows how to relax and take it easy when needed. In training she has good motivation and can be rewarded  with a play or treats.  

In obedience Zen competes in class3, but at the moment our absolute main hobby is agility. In Finnish Agility Championships she won the jumping course. In her first appearance in Finnish World Team Qualifications in year 2007 Zen was phenomenal taking the victory and confirming her place in Finnish Agility Team. In her debut in World Championships in Hamar, Norway, Zen took ninth position in individual jumping. In team competition she was the fastest in agilitycourse and second fastest in jumping with clear rounds. In Nordic Championships Zen placed 6th. In addition she became Finnish and Swedish Agility Champion during year 2007. Other hobbies are more or less in a waiting list. We still have trained only the basics in water rescue, message and in tracking.

During year 2008 she just picked up the speed if possible :) She managed to win World Team Qualifications in agility in a second year in a row by making five clear rounds out of five and winning three of those. She also made new pointrecord of 185 out of 200. In Finnish agility Championships she won the jumping course also this year and won goldmedal in team competition by making fastest clear round in whole competition. In AWC 2008 in Helsinki Zen made second fastest clear round in team jumping. In individual jumping she won with the fastest run. What a girl! In Nordic Agility Championships she tooked silver in individual competition and was a member of Finnish team winning the teamcompetition. During year 2008 she became International Agility Champion, Nordic AgCH and Norwegian AgCH!

When working or at home my little darkfaced gilr really is just something phenomenal. The dog of my life.

It seems that the owner has also other common hobbies with Zen besides agility.
