Sheri acquired Salishan Gusto in the fall of 2003. She has played competitive flyball since January 2003, and when the club needed another "height dog", she thought a jack russell was the way to go. Since joining the VIJRTC, Gusto has shown great enthusiasm for racing, lure coursing and go-to-ground.
