Tia is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever born at the Blue Cross in Burford in 2003. As a rescue pup Tia always managed to get into mischief, now as an adult she hasn't changed. Tia started agility about 18 months ago and is doing fantastically. She has had many placings in her competition life, most impressively she came first in the 30 inch steeplechase class at Bincknoll Agility Show in July. When she's not doing agility Tia spends much of her time with her little sister Kal, a rescue Border Collie. True to her breed, Tia loves to be in the water but its difficult to get her out, in fact its the only time that Tia beats her little sister to the ball because she is an excellent swimmer.
