Happy Mocha's Cup of Kona - "Kona"

Picture
Kona was born on March 2, 2005.  She is the daughter of Happy Shadow's Mochaccino and Yukon Jack Long.  Her registered name is Happy Mocha's Cup of Kona.  Kona was the 7th puppy born out of a litter of 11.

How did I choose Kona?  I didn't.  My father chose her.  He nicknamed her "Queenie Kona".  Boy, does that nickname fit her personality!

Kona started dock jumping at 6 months old.  Her first jump was a whopping 8"!  Kona now holds a Senior title with DockDogs nationally and regionally.    Kona has also earned her Novice, Junior, and Senior titles with Ultimate Air Dogs.  She has personal bests of:  DockDogs pool 17'2", DockDogs Regional 21'10", Ultimate Air Dogs pool 18'0", Ultimate Air Dogs short dock/pool 15'8", and WonderDogs 11'3". 

Like Mocha, Kona is just an all-around great dog.  She is friendly, loyal, and a companion.  Her favorite activity outside of dock jumping is sitting on the couch and waiting for someone to bark at.  Dragging the cat, Pumpkin, around the house is a close second. 

In November 2007, Kona started taking agility classes. She does not enjoy agility as much as Mocha.  I am not sure if she will ever compete, but practicing has really enhanced the dog/handler bond.  Kona began competing in disc dogs in 2010, and that is her true love.
