Student of the Month


                                 Jan Frick and her dogs, Travie, Rebecca, and Daisy

Jan began training with us in 2005 in agility with Rebecca and Traveler. Both dogs participated in private training and were doing very well. Rebecca was also being shown in the conformation ring, so Jan decided to focus on Traveler in agility.  Rebecca did well in the breed ring and earned her Championship quickly as Traveler was about to enter his first agility trial. Jan and Traveler began working as a team in a short amount of time and started to earn qualifying runs. Traveler now has his Novice Standard Agility title and his Novice Jumpers with Weaves title! Currently Jan and Traveler are competing in the Open agility ring and are doing very well.

Jan also has a new girl, Daisy. She will be two this year and shows a lot of promise in agility and obedience. Daisy is currently participating in DogHaven's Saturday Obedience Group class and occasionally makes a debut during our agility classes. We have high expectations for this girl!

Jan is also very active in Doberman rescue. She plays a crucial role in the initial process of getting them out of the shelters and arranging transport to local rescues. In the process of helping these Dobes, Jan adopted two older dogs that would have had no chance for adoption. Flint came to Jan terribly under weight and with such bad teeth that almost all of them had to be extracted. He is at least 10 years old and now has a wonderful home with the Fricks. Jan  also gave an older girl, Raven, a home. After taking  Raven to the vet for her initial checkup, Jan found that in addition to being underweight, she had many serious health problems, so Jan gave her a home that she would not have otherwise found.. Raven was abandoned on a local farm. She had been running free, trying to stay alive for quite a long time until she was picked up by some caring people who then called Dobe rescue. Jan took her in and is now providing for all her needs.

Currently Jan is fostering another young Dobe who was left abandoned in an apartment. Even though she has had a very rough beginning, she is now starting to feel like she has someone who cares about her. Lola is around one year old and is as sweet as you could ask for. She will be available for adoption once she has recovered.
