Riley was my second Cardigan and while physical issues kept him from being all the performance dog he might have been, I did discover he has an extraordinary talent when it comes to learning and performing tricks.
His most famous trick performance to date was when he appeared on a segment for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 2006. During the segment he could be seen riding his skateboard down the hallway outside my office in the Biology building at Reed College.
The highlight of Riley's performance career came in 2004 when he won his Open Jumpers with Weaves class at the Cardigan Corgi National Specialty, held in Wentzville, Missouri. The loudest and most demanding of my three dogs, Riley is happiest when he is sleeping on a chair or figuring out how to get treats out of one of him many, "goodie ships".
