Fenris Biog





Fenris is a joker. He makes me laugh every day. He is also a trailblazer. Not a particularly natural carriage dog in the modern sense, he prefers to run out front and 'clear the way'. This is a role some dogs would have played in the past, but is not encouraged in modern competition. Fenris doesn't know this. He will do anything to be out in front. Training hasn't been easy. But like all Dallies, he's an intelligent and biddable dog and his obedience is pretty good, and this has helped us so far to keep it together when it matters. We've managed good carriage dog tests - and some pretty good looking displays on behalf of the Society.

Fenris achieved Silver Carriage Dog in 2008. In 2009 he was entered Qualification Only in the Gold Carriage Dog class. He completed his endurance trial but due to scheduling problems was unable to take his obedience test. This will be carried out by judge Alison Burgess prior to the 2009 SE Regional Trials.

One day we hope to train him to be a road dog too. Persuading him to stay alongside a horse will be no mean feat...
