Although Loki always walked to the beat of a different drum, it is hard for me to admit I am where I am today because of him. He is responsible for me finding the world of agility and clicker training, not to take myself too seriously, agility is just a game, for me becoming an agility instructor, acquiring too much agility equipment and finding the nice dog folks and best friends around.
BREED DESCRIPTION: Loki was an Oxford Terrier. An Oxford Terrier is a unique and odd, little dog that originated just south of Norwich, in the small town of Oxford, New York. They are also known as a Rough-coated Rathound.
Do NOT let the cute looks of this breed trick you. They are an extremely mischievous lot. They are known to bark like a howler monkey, jump out of agility rings for amusement and vanish when you least expect it. The survival of the breed is due to their ability to be utterly entertaining when their existence is threatened.
Loki was an excellent representative of the breed. He was named after the Norse god of evil or mischief. He lived up to that name until the day that we put him to sleep. |
