Ringo is our first Poodle.  We got him for Caitlin to use in 4-H.  He is very much HER dog; he wants to be wherever she is, and misses her terribly when she's gone.  He loves to retrieve, and will bring a toy back to you hundreds of times in a row.  He is very good at catching toys in mid-air. 

Ringo started his AKC Rally Novice A competition on Memorial Day weekend, 2005.  He completed his RN title in just 3 trials, earning the final leg at PCA on June 14, 2005.  Caitlin has also shown him in UKC Junior Showmanship.

He is being shown in 4-H obedience and showmanship.  Caitlin and Ringo were Champions in their county agility class in both 2004 and 2005 (Beginner and Elementary).  They were also Champions in their county showmanship class in 2008 (Senior Open) and 2005 (Junior Open), and received an Award of Merit in Showmanship (7th grade Open) at the Minnesota State 4-H Dog Show in September, 2004.

He has also won Best of Breed - Altered in 2 UKC All Breed Shows.
