Riley, Bichon Frise, CRN 990834
We proudly call him “Iron Riley”. An adorable 16-lb. ball of white with sparkling dark eyes, Riley’s
creampuff exterior hides a lion-hearted, fiercely competitive nature. Riley and Jane were already
competing when the team that is now Release The Hounds formed around a few dogs and
handlers. Riley has kept the jump heights low while many other dogs learned to play and excel in
the sport over the past nearly seven years.
Now a Grand Champion, Riley’s indomitable spirit has never faded. There were a few times he
nearly crawled over the finish line, still gripping his tiny tennis ball. There was never a time he
wasn’t roaring to go at the start line, small white paws up in the air, barking his head off in
excitement, no matter how many heats he’d already run that weekend. We have been inspired by
Riley’s courage and heroic endurance.
Between Flyball tournaments Riley is a Certified Therapy Dog who has given his affection and
encouragement to countless patients at his local rehabilitation center.
With his champion personality and never-quit attitude, Riley personifies the level of
sportsmanship all our dogs would put into words if they could. We are deeply honored to be his
team.
