TIA

Lagotto hill Italica AGN AGIJ EXJB JT IP ExGB ExSB MSCDC VBA

about

Tia is fast and loves to run, jump and carry a toy in her mouth. She's fun to watch on the agility course and incorporates lots of great moves such as Jaakko turns, Japanese turns and flips! Outside of agility, she is most happy when she is on/in the water. Jumping off the kayak is just as much fun as the jumps on the course for this sassy girl.
