DOG OF THE MONTH

Christopher-Cuddles is a seven year old cocker spaniel who is owned and handled by Matt Anatriello.  Chris was bred in Kittery, Maine, by Randy Price, a well-known Boston NBC news commentator.  Randy told the Anatriellos at the time of adoption that Chris would develop his own loving personality and that he would bring them much joy.  Truer words were never spoken.

For the past five years, Chris has attended classes at Jazz with his "Dog Father", Matt.  He enjoys every minute of class and loves to participate in trials.  While competing, Chris appears to have a smile on his face and his long ears blow back in the wind.  He mostly enjoys jumpers because he can run fast; on the other hand, he prefers not to do contacts because “touching” slows him down!  However, Matt continues to work with Christopher on all aspects of the sport and has had much fun being his handler.
