    Notable
    Barb Davis and Shimmer have won 4 Silver medals in 4 years of Great Outdoor Games competition. Their Silver streak in Agility ended on 2003, when they finished 4th, but they brought home Silver in the Super Weave. They have qualified for the 2004 AKC World Team in Agility and are the only team to do this in 5 consecutive years.

    Quotable
    "Some years, I've pushed him a little too far, and he'd drop a bar. Some years, we'd have a clean run, but just not be quite fast enough. But he's a great dog no matter what."
