Then, the JAG “Mentor Award”, where through my work getting UKI going in NJ, especially to the point that JAG has monthly trials, people were encouraged to participate in UKI to train/run dogs they thought might never be good enough to compete successfully.

"I thank breeder Cindy Griswold, plus my wife Carol for Zuri’s training, AKC for making Invitationals happen; I thank long time JAG President Jill Bergmann for her vision of what could be,allowing JAG to get involved with UKI, plus Kelly Ely, who makes trials go smoothly, and has been involved since those first events in Estell Manor NJ."

Kim McNeill's Devon - "So last weekend we had another AH-mazing AH-gility AH-dventure. And this time mom decided Spy-C could do the 'gilites too. The first couple of courses I and Spy-C did a new sport we call courseagility. The objective is to take just some of the obstacles and then run as fast as you can, impressing everyone with your speed. Everyone was very impressed with Spy-C's courseagility abilities because they'd never seen her run and she's even faster than I am. The next 2 runs, mom said I was a good boy, but we didn't get any ribbons. Then Spy-C went and she got TWO ribbons for her second run.

So then I thought that wasn't fair, so my next 2 runs I got a total of FIVE ribbons. Two for each run and another one because I finished an important title. Because I'm AH-mazing. Yep.
