Tula, mix, CRN 060904
Tula, an itty-bitty rescued poodle mix born in July 2003, truly epitomizes the spirit of flyball by
demonstrating that how fast you run is not as important as how much fun you have…(and how cute
you look doing it!), which is why she is always a crowd favorite during our flyball demonstrations.
Tula’s career began in November 2004 when our newly formed — and then unnamed — team
started holding weekly practices. Her tourney debut came during our first ever Alaska Summer
Solstice Tourneys in June 2006. She performed incredibly well running fulltime in two separate
two-day tournaments. Were it not for Tula, none of ADGW’s dogs would have accumulated any
points or titles while enjoying the much appreciated luxury of jumping at 8″ instead of 16″. More
recently, while competing in California, Tula became the first Alaska grown and trained dog to
earn the FDCh title. ADGW members will always be grateful for Tula’s contributions toward
establishing flyball as Alaska’s newest dog sport. For all of the above reasons, it is only fitting that
Tula receive the very first Region 18 MVP Award.
