Flora's Lady Eva Annelise
"Anna"
 This
6 year old Danish Swedish Farmdog has maintained
her outstanding record of earning U-FLI racing
points and titles by being the first dog in the history of U-FLI
to achieve the Top Flight Expert Plaque (20,000 points), the Top
Flight Ace Plaque (35,000 points), and the Top Flight Champion
Plaque, (50,000 points). Thanks
go to the rest of the Lickety Splits dogs and handlers who have
supported her in maintaining the U-FLI Top Dog of all time standing
for the past 4 years.
Anna is a Danish/Swedish Farmdog. She is the
10th U.S.-born Farmdog. Her Grandmother and
Mother were
born in Denmark, and her Father and Aunt were
born in the United States; they play flyball
in California. All of Anna's brothers (Cooper,
Maverick, Levi, and Luke) and her sister Inge play flyball in California too.
Anna is quick and very focused on flyball.
Her first
tournament was fantastic. Excluding
the first heat, she ran the entire tournament
flawlessly. She looked cute too. She is "Awesome
Anna"; a steady consistent dog that can
race in any lineup, location and on any surface.
Her first six flyball tournaments she earned
her NAFA FM title (in 3.5 months, at 15 months
of age!).
Anna placed first and second in the Wags
for Wishes Obstacle Lure Course event from 2004
through 2009. She passed her Herding Instinct
Test in 2004 at the age of 10 months. And
she participated in a little canine Freestyle
dancing and Earthdog (Go-to-Ground). She hates
dog shows; thinks that is for sissy dogs and
is very happy she doesn’t have to do
that silly foo foo stuff.
When Anna came to live with us she had a big
sister Rags, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever that
had to retire from Flyball early because of
a Joint illness, OCD. Rags passed on
August 31, 2006 at 12 ½ years of age. Anna
misses her so much. You can see Anna's
tribute to Rags here (make sure that you have
your sound turned on).
October 12, 2006, Anna's full-blood brother
Flora's Cool Hand "Luke" was born. He
came to live with us in January, 2007. The
two are an even match for tugging and play
any chance they can get. It is not uncommon
to find them both tugging on the same toy
at a stand-off. The longest I have seen them
do this is about 45 minutes non-stop. Luke
plays flyball for Lickety Splits and has the
same focus, drive and consistency as Anna.
He is so very handsome too.
We are all very proud of Anna! You can learn
