After some dinosaur sight seeing east of Calgary, YD traveled north to Edmonton to show off the following weekend at the Westerly Dog Club. She showed how she could "strut her stuff", but there were no points to be had. YD was awarded Best of Opposite in her 3 days of showing in Edmonton.

YD returned to Canada again in October 2000 only this time she went to Vancouver British Columbia (Abbotsford to be exact) and finished her Canadian Championship. There were a total of four days of shows, however, on the third day and with her win, YD became a Canadian Champion!!!
