About Zara

Trailside’s Tzar of Fairlington SH THDN DJ CGCA UT2

As might be expected, Zara’s favorite thing to do is hunt birds. She also loves people, toys, eating, and being outside. Zara has been a certified therapy dog through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs since she was three years old. She passed the NAVHDA Utility Test with a Prize 2 this fall. I’m hopeful that we can also earn her AKC Master Hunter title this winter.

She has been a pleasure to train as she is very food-motivated and eager to please. Her name means “princess” in Arabic and it has turned out to be very fitting.

About Colombo

Adriatic’s King Colombo of North Ridge CGC

Colombo is a three-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback. He loves to sunbathe, play with other dogs, and go on walks. Colombo is working toward his conformation championship and currently has six points (including one major). He loves lure coursing and needs one more Fast CAT run to complete his BCAT title. He completed the 12-mile Endurance Trial run at the Rhodesian Ridgeback National Specialty in October 2019.

His name comes from Colombo, Sri Lanka, which is the city where my husband, Chris, was born. He is much calmer and lazier than Zara.

About Terry Ann

Before Chris and I got Zara, I didn’t even want a dog. Now, doing activities with them has become my favorite thing. When not being a dog mom, I am a graphic designer and pet portrait artist. I have my own art/design business, On Point Design.

I enjoy being active and training for running races. I have always been an animal lover. Until we got a dog when I was ten, my sister and I had a range of common and uncommon pets including goldfish, hermit crabs, toads, a lobster/crayfish, and a whole slew of gerbils. In fact, I wanted to be a vet until I was in high school.
