Jan & Graham
Ruby
Ruby
(Hanningfield Princess Leia)
A willing worker who likes to please and worries if she's getting it wrong. Leia has multiple passes at Section C, was winner of the Advanced Water Trials at Ragley in 2009 and put in a super performance in a Section D test in 2009. In 2010 Ruby has continued to progress to the very top levels with passes at Section D and in August a wonderful Section E pass.
Maisie
Maisie
(Honeybears Funny Girl)
The grand older lady of the group, now eleven years young, and a fabulous water worker. In 2009 she achieved her long awaited and much deserved Section E pass. Getting her OUT of the water when she doesn't want to come can be fun!
Maia
Maia
(Alphabear Ocean Blue)
A little livewire and into everything, Maia has a great example to follow in Maisie and Ruby and shows every sign of being a tremendous water dog. She is flying through the elements and aced her Section A and Section B tests in 2010. She will be just old enough to attempt a Section C test late in the season so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Flo
Flo
(Sandbears Go With Flo)
Super-enthusiastic about her water work, she's figured out why she was born with webbed feet and the hard part now is keeping her out of the water. Living by the sea, she swims almost every day and doesn't mind the waves either. Flo passed her Section A at her first attempt and her Section B in 2009. Her flying leaps from the boat to get to Dad are something to see.
