Attached are photos of my 2 performing in musical freestyle. We competed last November in Beginners in WCFO (World Canine Freestyle Org) in Tucson, AZ. Reba earned her title and Reba and Wully together in brace (the only brace in competition) also earned their title. Wully and I were also members of a 4 handler/dog team to earn a team title. Now we are practicing at the Novice level and getting ready for the National competition to be held in Tucson in November, 2014. Wully (Dance's Wully Bully, AX, AXJ, CGC) and Reba (Swagman's Lil Red Neck Girl, OA, OAJ, CD, CGC) are 13 and 10 years old respectively and love to dance!
