Taz is owned and loved by Lynn Ungar and Kelsey Hartman of Castro Valley, CA.  Lynn's goal is for Taz to be her next obedience and Canine Freestyle companion.  

He completed his beginners heelwork to music title (World Canine Freestyle Organization) on 2/24/08 & 25/08, winning his class both days.  Additionally they received an award for highest average artistic merit scores in heelwork to music for the weekend.  Taz and Lynn can be seen dancing to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on YouTube (click here). 

Taz completed his CDX on 12/29/08.  The first weekend in March they acquired his intermediate (third level) musical freestyle titles. He wasn't totally on, but the judge liked the routines a lot, and he got the ribbon (as last year) for high combined artistic score for heelwork to music.  Go Taz & Lynn! It's hard to keep up with these two!!

As a puppy, Taz began a career as a Hero and Protector of Children. Lynn reports on Taz' protection of her daughter, "Mattea screeched when she saw a pretty good-sided spider coming toward her in the bathroom. Taz trotted in and neatly gobbled it up for her." Good boy Taz!  Now that he is a mature adult, he guards the doorway to her room.  Mattea can sleep safely at night with her fluffy Terv protector watching over her!
