Kersins Kata



Kata finished her AKC Novice Standard Agility title under Judge Ann Rudd at the Ibizan Hound Club of the United States agility trial at the Canine Sport and Recreation building in Dexter, Michigan today. The Novice course was especially nice.

Although this photo makes her look small, probably because of the angle, at 16" Kata fits the home country's official breed standard and she jumps 16" at trials. We're waiting for some really nice photos from the trial from the photographer, Raymond Dutton.

She has a wonderful temperament (personality) and is in my opinion a superb example of Icelandics with shorter fur. Longer furred Icelandics seem to be more popular especially for conformation shows. I hope the shorter furred Icelandics can survive. They seem to be rather rare now.

Kata was born on January 11, 2002 and turned nine years old on 1/11/11. She started her training for agility at the age of eight and has earned six first place ribbons with scores of 100/100 and two second places.
