Decker – Mix, CRN 080773
Decker started off life for the first 18 months living at Citizen’s for Animal Protection (CAP). The staff would take him out for short walks on a leash a couple of time a day. Many of the staff didn’t like taking him out because of his behavior, but Kate saw something special in this boy and took him home. Kate started training Decker in Flyball at a time when CIA didn’t have enough dogs to make a team for a tournament. With Kate’s patience in training, Decker became a mainstay for CIA teams and it was not uncommon for him to run on two teams so that all the dogs had the opportunity to run Flyball. Decker’s first tournament was February 14, 2009 and he is the first dog that started with CIA to earn 30,000 points. Because of this we feel that Decker and Kate deserve to be the Region 5 MVP.
