Nate Performance History

This is a detailed summary of Nate's performance history.

2017 Accomplishments

• In spite of missing the last 3 months of the year, Nate still made the top 20 list for Golden Retrievers in AKC agility, and he easily qualified for the 2018 AKC agility nationals in Reno.
• We took low impact online classes, like this one where Nate learned to how to do tricks by mimicking my behavior.
• Sept. 21, 2017: Nate injured his left front pinkie chasing a Lotus Ball into wet grass during practice. Sprain or sesamoid fracture? The specialists couldn't agree.
