Career Highlights
CONFORMATION:
Tre was my first ever show dog; my guinea pig.  We traveled to Kentucky and as novices won ourselves our first major - a 5-pt major over stiff professional basenji handlers (ie. E. Roberts, M. Work, T. Brooks, B. Cassell.)  The next day we took a 5-pt major reserve.  I was hooked.  Tre garnered multiple BOBs over specials during his short show career with me as his pilot.
LURE COURSING:
AKC lure coursing was practically non-existent in Arizona so Tre and I had to travel to California on occasion which meant earning this title seemed to take forever. Eventually he finished with a Best In Field  5-pt major in addition to his three 3-pt majors. 
Tre is the only basenji to go BIF and HIT at the same National Specialty.  Once again, due to the few number of lure coursing trials in our area Tre ran very infrequently but ran well.  In 1997, in only 11 trials (less then 6 weekends), Tre earned the #3 basenji spot in the top 10 ASFA ratings. 
Tre continued to run well even as he matured and finally earned his LCM at 11 years, 10 months and 18 days of age.
OBEDIENCE:
Tre is my Novice A dog.  He earned his AKC- CD in, I believe, three straight trials.  His scores were 188.5, 193 & 190.  He also qualified in the UKC Novice B class 4 times, all scores between 190-194; not bad for a Novice A dog that's a basenji!
His AKC-CDX took much longer. <lol> I think we finally got it in 17 attempts.  His scores were not very impressive either but he did manage a specialty HIT. He also earned two of the three UKC-CDX legs in short order but sadly we never had another local UKC show in which to finish the title. 
Tre was trained through Utility and did enter a few trials.  By this time though Sage was up and coming, and much better. Tre retired from obedience.  His signal utility training has served him well now that he is old and has diminished hearing.
AGILITY:
Tre has multiple legs and placements in all of his AKC and NADAC agility titles.  The most memorable was when he was 12 years of age and I entered him on a fluke in Excellent as I needed his Open JWW leg.  We were entered in a very large, and competitive, California excellent class.  Tre and Rand did great ending up with a perfect run albeit 3 seconds over for a 3rd place finish. 
Tre rarely competed in USDAA as he would have to jump 22 inches - much too high for a basenji.
