 That was really fun, we shaved over a second off our original time, won the run off and came in 2nd for the second year in a row at the regionals.  Pretty darn cool!</div> <bR> <div> Of course, after running Grand Prix twice Fenwick was really tired for the Steeplechase finals, dropped a bar, missed a contact ... and still came in 5th.  Heh.</div> <bR> <div> I just love my Fen-i-wick, he's the best!</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickUSDAAstp6-28-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe">Steeplechase Round One</A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickUSDAAgp6-29-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe">Grand Prix Finals</A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickUSDAAgpTWO6-29-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe">Grand Prix Finals Run Off</A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="324" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#663300 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 117 WIDTH="318"><div> <A HREF="fenwick_update_archive_2008.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fenwick Update Archive 2008">2008</A> Update Archive</div> <div> <A HREF="fenwick_update_archive_2007.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fenwick Update Archive 2007">2007</A> Update Archive</div> <div> <A HREF="fenwicks_2006_update_archive.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fenwicks 2006 Update Archive">2006</A> Update Archive</div> <div> <A HREF="id56.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fenwicks 2005 Update Archive">2005</A> Update Archive</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>Full Name:</B> Lord Fenwick of Christenson </div> <div> <B>Call Name:</B> Fenwick </div> <div> <B>Nick Names:</B> Little Bastard, El Fenwicko</div> <div> <B>Date of Birth:</B> Approximately August 15th, 2000 </div> <div> <B>Adopted:</B> Humane Society of the Willamette Valley, January 2001 </div> <div> <B>Breed:</B> Old World Style Boston Terrier (or All American)</div> <div> <B>Affiliated With</B>: North American Dog Agility Council (NADAC 03-01226), United States Dog Agility Association (USDAA U121616), Teacup Dog Agility Association (TDAA 4903), X-Fidos Flyball Racing Team (CRN 031336), APDT Rally (R04-803), Canine Performance Events (04520-01), AKC ILP (ILP101132)</div> <div> <B>Weight:</B> 19 lbs </div> <div> <B>Height:</B> 15.5 inches</div> <div> <B>Record Jumping Height (official measurement)</B>:  40 inches</div> <div> <B>Description:</B> A vigorous, compact, muscular short-haired black dog with white markings.
