Region 5 Veterans
Fargo (FDCH-G) of CIA, started running Flyball late in life at 4 years old, because he had to overcome his nervousness around people. He loves playing Flyball with his owner, Kate Harward, though and at 11 years old still gets excited about getting out in the lanes. He is still the only Bluetick Coonhound in Flyball which makes us very proud. To submit a photo of your veteran to be highlighted on the Region 5 Veteran Database page, please email the Webmaster!
