My very first aussie is Pocket. Pocket is Slydrocks Jumpn-Krack-Flash, ASCA-CD, AD, AX, NAJ, RS-E, EAC, GS-N, NGC, JS-O, OJC, FDX, CGC. She is out of ADCH HOF Plain Ole Krackers of Tejas, CDX, STDc, (and a bunch more) and Ch. Wilmeths Midnight Maskarade. Thank you Donna Arnold of Slydrock Australian Shepherds for entrusting me with this super dog! Pocket has titles in obedience, agility, and flyball. She really is a "do it all" kinda dog. Pocket is semi-retired now, and more than happy to become a couch potato and allow the new guys to take over. She still shows at our New Hope ASC agility trials, as a veteran, and does enjoy her brief appearances in the ring, again. |
Then came Kicks. Kicks sorta got sidelined while I went to college and had my son, Alex, but he's certainly back now! Kicks is Alt-Ch. Stonehavens Comn To Slydrock, RS-O, OAC, GS-N, NGC, JS-O, OJC. OA, OAJ. Kicks is out of Ch. Lyrrad's Dances with Hooves and Ch. Manape Propwash Griffen. Huge thanks to Jeffrey Margeson of Stonehaven for breeding this awesome dog and to Donna Arnold of Slydrock for allowing me to have him. Kicks is put together like a dream and has the most beautiful side gait and front you could ask for. He has tons of drive and absolutely LIVES to swim. Kicks is currently taking a break due to a couple toenail injuries. We hope to be back up and running by late Spring 2005! |
Finally there is little Buzzy. Buzz came to me from a friend of mine that does Doberman rescue. No, he's not a Dobe, but she has a soft spot for Aussies, too. Buzz (though it was Bo, then) was brought in to my vet's office where she worked. His "owner" said he didn't want him anymore because he was chasing the cats. He was thinking about selling him as a stud dog. Well, my friend was able to convice him NOT to do that, and brought him home. She knew I was as much of a pushover as she is, and introduced us. He's been here since, and isn't going anywhere. Buzz is from a local backyard breeder. Luckily, Buzz has proven to be an awesome dog. He's very healthy, very active (though he doesn't chase MY cats), and a load of fun. He's quickly moving up the ranks in ASCA, NADAC, and AKC agility. He's in all Elite classes in ASCA/NADAC and is one Open leg away from being in all Excellent A in AKC!

2004 was a great year for us! Buzz earned a total of 16 agility titles and Kicks earned 13 (even with being out for the last 3 trials). We're hoping for a fun and successful 2005. I'm planning on making the trek to the USASA Nationals in Louisiana in April and competing in Agility with both of them. I'd like to go to Georgia for ASCA Nationals as well, and do MVA with Kicks, but only time will tell whether that will be feasable or not :o)
Best wishes to everyone for a safe and successful 2005!!! |
