FCI World Championship.


Nancy and Riot made their 2nd trip to the World Championships in October of 2002. The event was held in Dortmund West Germany. Riot was one of three members of the large dog Team event. The other team members were Elicia Calhoun with her Australian Shepherd Suni, and Linda Kipp and her border collie Jessie. The 3 dog team won a second place trophy in the Team jumping class, but an error on Nancy's part kept the Large Dog team out of the overall medals. In Individual competition where the World Champion is crowned Nancy and Riot finished in first place in the agility portion of the event, but had a refusal in the jumpers class. This is the second year in a row that Riot and Nancy have had placements in the agility class. In 2001 in Porto, Portugal the team finished 2nd in the agility portion of the event.
