Torry
 | |  |
Bio: Torry was born May 28th 2004 at the farm of Rick and
Marguerite Cole in Nowata, Oklahoma. Her given name was
“Therese”. Renee’s best friend is also named Therese and
the two of them were attending a chuck wagon race in Locust
Grove. Torry’s parents were doing a herding exhibition at the
race, and had brought some pups along. We were looking for
a border collie since we had lost our other border collie a few
months prior. Renee came home very excited that she had
found a cute puppy with her best friend’s name! We wanted
to give “Therese” a Gaelic or Scottish name and we settled on
Torry, which is Scottish for “from the craggy hills”. We brought
her home on August 7. 2004.
Torry is very play motivated and would rather play than eat!
We took her to agility school, but she did not like some of the
apparatus, as she is a bit skittish. We were looking for some
other activity for Torry to do when we saw a “Dogs Gone Wild”
exhibition at Hunter Park in Tulsa. Since Torry is fascinated
with tennis balls, flyball seemed a natural for her. We started
training her in the summer of 2008 and she ran in her first
tournament in Grove, Oklahoma in April 2009. Torry lives in
Tulsa with her big brother Ringo and her parents, Neal and
Renee.
