Radar, my home bred silver toy poodle had quite a remarkable year. He is just a wonderful dog - a joy to know. In addition to earning the above titles and standings, he has become the very first toy poodle to earn the silver designations in USDAA. As long as we are both able we hope to continue on this wonderful journey.

We owe thanks and appreciation to everyone at Fleible Flyers for their lessons, special tips. patience, laughter, friendly atmosphere, and great facility.

Susan Gross & RadarSpecial thanks to Sandy Costello, my very first agility instructor of 12 years ago. Sandy permanently impressed me with the ideas of what Agility is all about and gave me the encouragement and foundation to succeed.

Special thanks to Sandy Schilling-Daniels who's brilliant instruction of the HFD (handler for dummies) courses brought out the best in us. She taught us the skills that enabled Radar and me to reach ever higher levels of competition.

A very special thanks to Mary Lou Hughes for maintaining the top notch facility that Flexible Flyers remains.

We could not have achieved these accomplishments without everyone's, both instructors' and class mates' contributions.

Sincere thanks to all of you Flexi people, We are grateful to be a part of your group.

-- Radar and Susan Gross
