Texas K9: I first became interested in Mondioring several years ago when I saw a trial at a friend’s house. I met Ann at that trial and began talking to her about Mondioring. Since that time, Ann has not only been the most supportive person in helping me to establish a club but has always been there if we have had questions or help. Ann helped us set up our field, gave us encouragement to train even when it almost seemed impossible to find decoys, and helped us make the final steps to host our first trial this year. She always represents Mondioring in a positive manner and has advocated the sport to anyone who is willing to listen. She has donated her time and expertise for us and many others on numerous occasions and she is always willing to help someone new or old in the sport whenever they need it. Our club feels that Ann is the example of Sportsmanship for the United States Mondioring Association and we are proud to nominate her for this honor.
