La

La (Simply The Best de Loubajac, 21.9.2001)

is simply the best, that’s what describes her best. We could also say “one in a million”, but I’m afraid she is more unique than that. She is the first dog with (trained) running contacts, the first dog with cik&cap and the best dog to learn with that you can imagine, ready to work all day for a little piece of kibble - definitely not lacking motivation, drive or enthusiasm!

I got her after many coincidences: after one year of searching for a perfect fawn long-hair puppy (I even learned French for that purpose!), I ended with this perfect blue-merle smooth-face...

She won her first World Championships in 2003, on her second birthday, with 6 seconds of advantage (what is way more as any other dog ever got near to) and she won her second one in 2005, with five seconds of advantage (yeap, we took our time, knowing noone can’t beat us:). And she would have won it again in 2011 if only I didn't play it safe and therefore ended on a 3rd place, 0.09 of a second behind the winner... All together, she won 11 runs in World Championships and set best times 17 times...

World Championships is her favourite competition, she thinks all those people came just to see her, she gets green eyes, forgets all about start line manners and RUNS…. Well yes, she does think that she is a centre of the world… But then, she IS a centre of MY world…

She certainly put agility in the whole new gear and moved the limits of impossible. She sure never took impossible as an answer, also not in 2008 when her stomach got perforated in the mountains of Corsica and the surgeon called it impossible for her to survive it. But he didn't know what a fighter my little La is. Not only she lived - she returned to agility in no time and is still running at almost-13!
