James was Eileen’s best agility dog. He placed in the top dogs in 2011 and was #3 Papillon and #19 among all breeds. He was always eligible for the AKC National Agility Championship and was a finalist in one of the events he participated in. He loved to compete and one of Eileen’s challenges was calming him down at the start line. Up until the end he was averaging 30 MACH points for a standard run and 20 for a JWW run. His last trial was about a month before he passed.
