Wottapud Roki Road AAD FDA
AKA - Coco
Coco was born in Gympie at Wottapud Kennels on the 22/11/2004, by John and Carrol Penn, It was a day to remember when i picked her up at 8 weeks of age....
She is all what one could want in a faithful companion and more....
Coco has a very gentle nature and a real flair for dog sports....
AGILITY(http://www.adaa.com.au)
Coco's agility training started the moment she came home, learning all the fundamentals needed not only to be a great agility dog but to be a great pet and friend... she loved to play tug, and learnt crate games real quickly, we took things slow, she learnt how to do restrained recalls, sit stays, shadow handling, by the age of 8 months we could already go through jump wings, with jump bumps on the ground performing many types of handling manouveres, she had a good solid start line stay, and just loved to go through the cloth tunnel... It was apparent to me then the high drive my girl had and she absolutly loved it and still does when we have a training session....Unfortunate for Coco there was an 8 month gap in her training due to me injuring my ankle whilst at work in Emerald, so we had a break for a long while, but we still played all the fundamental games, crates, start line stays, nose touches, perches etc... all the things we could do with out me having to move too much..... And then i moved back closer to Brisbane and we started our training at Suncoast Fun Dogs in Caboolture, she was 16 months old before she started her weave and final contact training... Things were moving along well and we entered our first competition in Bundaberg at New Years 2007, we had a real lot of fun and if there were no weave poles on course would have done real well....

CANINE DISC(http://www.bark.asn.au)
Coco enjoys playing Canine Disc or Frisbee as known more by some, her training is coming along real nice, i think she will be a great Freestyle dog one day... We entered her in the QLD State Canine Disc Championships held in Redcliffe on the June long weekend 2007, we had 1 real good round, but was just a couple points short of a qualifying round.... we are still training and it is something she really enjoys...
