Dog's
in my life.
I've had dogs for as long
as I can remember. I started showing dogs in obedience back in the 1970's
with a Keeshond, named JeAnna's Gray Dutch Treat CDX. My first Utility
dog was a Dalmatian named Dominique's Rusty Nail UD, he was the number
one Dalmatian in obedience for 4 years straight, he finished his UD (Utility
dog title) at the ripe old age of 18 months. He accumulated 70 OTCh (Obedience
Trial Championship) points, but after a tragic encounter with a car (Rusty
lost that battle) he never got that championship. I owned the second male
Bernese Mountain dog, in the history of the breed to achieve both a Chamionship
(for his looks) and a UD (for his brains) Ch. Ouija v. Buttonwillow UD.
In addition I've owned and trained Dobermans, Pointers, Weimeraners, Shetland
Sheepdogs, Beagles, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, and last but
not least Jack Russell Terriers.
Crispin
UDX TD OA AD NAC NAG NAJ
Crispin is my most titled
dog ever. He was the first dog I trained that actually placed at a Regional
Obedience Championship. Crispin is retired now, keeping watch over the
younger crew.
Willowbrook's
Ready Aim Fire
Fire, while not yet titled
(could it be his mom's fault?) is doing quite well in agility. I have high
hopes for this young dog.
Stonewall Jackson
Stoney is my first Jack
Russell Terrier to train. He has been a fun, and challenging dog. His first
show was March 10th here in Charleston, S.C., he took 2nd place in the Gamblers class.
Beauregard
Beau is my friend Ron's
JRT. Beau isn't fooled by the offer of food into doing anything Beau doesn't
want to do. Therefore, Beau will probably never be shown, he's a smart
dog, too smart for us :-)
Robert E. Lee
Bobbie (do you notice a trend in southern generals?)is our rescued JRT. Ron hopes Bobbie will make his debut in agility in the fall of 2001.
Just Jill
We've got a Jack named Jill, aka "the Princess". She's a perfect example of never say never. I swore I'd never own a female dog, but here she is, sleeping under my feet right now. Look for her in the agility ring circa 2002. Pictured here at the LCDA Grand Prix 3/11/2001 taking her first jump at the tender age of 8 weeks.
