Gibson, Rebecca – STARR

Description

Starr is a striking 5-year-old female with an impressive pedigree and a promising future. Raised and expertly trained by Thad Fleming, Starr has proven her abilities on the trial field with numerous open trial wins, including a standout victory at the Etterick Farm Trial in Missouri. Since moving to the Gibson family this past July, Starr has seamlessly blended her hardworking nature with some new, unexpected talents—like her love of watching TV, which has quickly become one of her favorite pastimes.  She also loves destuffing dog toys. Rebecca and Starr are a newly formed team, but their bond grows stronger every day as they build their partnership. Starr is a super stylish dog with an abundance of push and determination, qualities that make her a formidable competitor on the trial field. Rebecca is excited to see how their journey unfolds and is confident in the bright future ahead for this dynamic duo.
