Gio

Dog's Name: Gio
Breed: Shetland Sheepdog/Sheltie
Handler: Dayna Dreger
Date of Birth: April 27, 2002

Gio began his flyball adventures in 2004 at 2.5 years of age. It was love at first hurdle! He learned the sport very quickly and by the end of 2005 had earned his FM. Unfortunately, the odds were against him and Gio had to retire from flyball in the summer of 2006. He now pursues a slower lifestyle, enjoying competition in CARO Rally-O and visiting various care homes as a therapy dog with St. John Ambulance.

Gio exceeded all expectations from day one. Intense, eager, attentive and smart as a whip, this boy was made to excel. You'll hear him before you see him as he always has something to say, and he says it loud!
