Phoebe is a purebred Jack Russell Terrier from the Fleck kennel in
Woodinville, WA. She needed to find a new home in 2004 as she was
not quite breeding-quality but definitely had alpha female tendencies
along with her high ball and prey drive. With the help of JCJ
members, Phoebe found a home with Jarrett Carberry, where she lived
for several years. Recent events found Phoebe looking for a new
home, and now she is a loved and active member of the Adiletta household
along with Curzon, Jadzia, and Ezri.
When Phoebe first came to flyball practice, she thought that it was
great fun - but only if she could get a full-size tennis ball, and get one
at any time! After lots of work to train her how to play the game by
the rules, including several months to get her to take 1" balls instead of
full-size ones, Phoebe made her flyball debut in October 2005. Since
her debut, Phoebe has been the "tank" and primary height dog of the club,
as she provides 6"-7" jumps depending on the venue and can run every heat
of every race at every tournament. Without Phoebe many of our dogs
would not be able to compete in flyball at all, so she is a valuable
member of our team!
Phoebe typically travels to tournaments and is run primarily by Joy
Adiletta, but she is willing to run for just about any handler on the team.
Thanks to her versatility and desire to run no matter what the circumstances,
Phoebe has attended every tournament that JCJ has sent a team to since October
of 2006, sometimes even running on two club teams. She was ranked 28th among
NAFA point-scoring dogs for racing year 2008, 100th in 2009, and broke into
the top 100 ranked Jack/Parson Russell Terriers in NAFA in late 2009, where
she currently holding 73rd position. Phoebe was also nominated for Region 7
MVP for 2008, and is on track to be the first JCJ dog to reach FGDCh-50k in
late 2010
