Polly lives in Garden Grove, CA, with Vicki and Bob Chaney. They also share their home with two other Golden Retrievers, Darcy and Ivy, a Ragdoll cat named Baggins and an African Gray parrot named Hootie. Polly has been a "dual major dog" for much of her career, working at top levels in both obedience and agility. In April of 2005 she received the rare distinction of becoming a dual Hall of Fame dog by completing requirements for the GRCA Agility Dog Hall of Fame after already having earned membership in the GRCA Obedience Hall of Fame early in her obedience career. Polly was her mom's first ever OTCH dog; on 10/2/2005 she became Vicki's first MACH dog. She took up tracking as a mature veteran and on 2/7/10, at the age of eleven, also became Vicki's first ever TDX dog. You rock, girls!
