While my ‘expertise’ may be the world of agility, I love a well-rounded dog!

I received a surprise e-mail today from the AKC…an Invitation to the 2011 National Championship for my beloved Belgian Tervuren, Rylee!

Just like when Pinky was invited to the Agility Invitational, I’ve posted the invitation below so everyone can see what it looks like.

Enjoy!
