Koala lived with me until just after turning 9 months. He became the friend and companion of Nick Jacobson. Nick was an accomplished handler by 10 years old, already finished one Whippet and wanted another one for Junior Showmanship. He finished Koala handily, placed with him in groups and did quite well in juniors with some Best Junior awards. He is still his bed buddy and Frisbee catcher when he can get Nick to take time out of his busy schedule to just play.
