What an AMAZING Invitational we had this year! To start things off, Zhora was invited as the #6 Vallhund after only being all the way into Masters since MARCH (the Invitational qualifying period was July 1 2014 to June 30 2015)! And THEN she qualified 4 out of 5 times running in a very overwhelming, loud, echoing environment on a portable turf surface like nothing she has ever run on before. And she knocked it out of the park. Nina ran fast and had a great time, if she could have left the bars up she would have been a serious contender for the breed medallion and maybe even the finals.<\/p>\n
