Taz
FMX, TF
Taz, an English Springer Spaniel joined Lickety
Splits just as we were reorganizing and looking
for new fast dogs. He learned quickly and was
eager to run - just the dog that we needed.
Taz was all heart and enthusiasm and became
a solid team member running on the only team
that we had at the time. He never let us down.
With his boundless energy, he served as a solid
trainer for our multitude of green dogs at that
time.
Taz competed primarily in NAFA, racking
up many titles, back when we earned points a
few at a time. Unfortunately advancing arthritis
prevented him from jumping without pain, and
he was forced to retire from flyball November
2003. In June 2005, Taz came out of retirement
to race on a pick-up team at a local tournament
when a new team was in need of dogs. You would
have never known that he had been on a flyball
hiatus! Taz looked fantastic and earned his
Top Flight (TF) U-FLI™ title.
Taz enjoed hunting with Jack, he ran
in agility, and he never lost his love for carrying
balls. We will miss the little liver and white
fellow with lots of heart.
Taz lived with Cowboy, Toby,
and Twister.
Brinx was
part of his family too.
