Crystal's Spirit Award
This award first started at the August 2006 CPE trial held at Sugar Bush Farm in Stephentown, NY, just one month after Crystal's passing; this is an annual award which is given to a dog/handler team that isn't necessarily the fastest, but that has the most fun and the handler gets the most out of the dog - you know, like Crystal was in her day.
In August 2006, Ray Wheeler was our judge, and he selected Wendy Carey and Nana to be the first recipients of this award.
