Lucy, Jack/Parson Russell Terrier NND, CRN 000991
In August 1998, Ketch This hosted the first flyball tournament in Florida. At the time,
our fledgling team had only one height dog. After much pleading and begging, Kyle
Roche reluctantly agreed to get a height dog and Lucy, a JRT puppy, joined Ketch This in
1999.
From the time she debuted in July 2000, Lucy made an immediate impact on our team,
lowering our best time by at least 2 seconds. She was the fastest height dog ever seen in
Region 11, consistently running 4.5 – 4.6 seconds over 9”. Ketch This one has continued
to improve and excel, running our best time of 17.01 in 2005 and constantly flirting with
breaking into the 16s.
Lucy has proved to be tireless, fearless and a remarkably consistent height dog. She
rarely makes a mistake over the course of a weekend, running flawlessly for whoever
handles her. Over the years she has dealt with many changes in lineups, boxes, balls and
handlers without breaking stride.
Lucy recently achieved her FGDCH title and has led Ketch This to the Regional
Championship each and every year. Region 11 and Ketch This would not be the same
without the contributions of Lucy and Kyle Roche.
