NAFA 2007 Regional MVP


Heidi

CRN: 980071
Breed of Dog: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Dog's Club Affiliation: Flat Out Flyers
Owner of the Dog: Tracy Bunker


Nomination:
Heidi (aka Amarillo by Morning), a diminutive, red Pembroke Welsh Corgi, was the heart of the Flat Out Flyers flyball club for many years.

Heidi retired in January 2007 at 14 ½ years old, after achieving her FGDCH title. She might be a small dog but she ran with a big heart and was a very commanding presence on any team!

Heidi never failed to give 100%, at local tourneys or on the road. And just because her owner, Tracy Bunker, couldn’t attend a tournament, it didn’t mean that Heidi stayed home. The little corgi traveled with the club to Tennessee, Colorado and various places in Texas; running for anyone, as long as that anyone had her treat bag in hand. Heidi would run in any position and while the mistakes were rare, she would be the first to tell you, they were generally never her fault!

Heidi has shown that these little herding dogs also make great flyball dogs. Heidi always served Region 5 as a great ambassador for the sport of flyball, never failing to be a crowd favorite in any flyball arena.
