Janie, Black Mouth Cur, CRN 990679
Janie’s best time was 4.6 – she wasn’t the fastest dog. Janie was a hound – usually not up to
double running. Although Janie ran with heart, she wasn’t the most consistent dog. However,
Janie was always there for the team. You could always count on her to fill out the team, run
wherever needed, and pull her own weight. Because she’s a rare breed, Janie was an essential
part of many multibreed teams, and she ran in the inaugural veterans class in region 9. Janie’s
most valuable contribution was how she played the game. Janie had a love of the game – any
bystander could easily see that Janie and her partner, Scott, were having a blast. Her return to
Scott was the most fun for evveryone to watch – you’d never know what toy was coming out of
Janie’s extensive collection for some silly fun. We all tell people flyball isn’t about the ball – it’s
about what happens when the dog returns, and this partnership exemplified that essence of our
sport. Janie retired in June with her Grand Poobah title (30K), and is one of only 15 hounds to do
so in NAFA history.
