Greyhound Adoption Day Bainbridge Island: Independence Day 2009. Another successful Greyhound Adoption Day event! "We had several people who were very much interested in greyhounds and GPI. We got loud cheers during the parade and maybe 1000 people stopped by the tent/booth." Click on the photo above to see the fun! Submitted by Steven Facer

Who's walking who?

Here comes Reiki!

Reiki receives Schutzhund II: On June 11-13, local dog trainer Shade Whitesel traveled to Denver, CO with her dog Reiki vom Aegis, to compete for a Schutzhund II at the DVG Schutzhund National Competition. Reiki, a German shepherd, beat out the faster smaller Belgian Malinois to win the title with a score of 96 in tracking, 94 in obedience and 95 in protection. Along the way, Shade and Reiki survived weather conditions of hail, driving rain, tornados, brilliant sun and foot deep mud (we felt right at home except for the tornados!). "It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to competing for level III next year" explained Shade, giving most of the credit to Reiki's resilience and ability to handle stress. He has a clear head and focus to take on the really strong "Bad Guy." Reiki is a one in a million dog and I'm lucky to have the honor of teaching him!"

Happy new graduates from Shade's Dog Training Advanced Beginners. Congratulations!
