Hi Brenda,
I just wanted to keep you up to date on the 2 puppies that I bought from you almost 8 years ago! Moses is my big chocolate boy (Rosie x Abraham) who loved to train in obedience. We earned a CD a couple years back and loved to dabble in agility- weave poles were his favorite- before I had to retire him . He loves his walks in the field just about every day and lives to greet me at the door with a toy in his mouth and parade around the house with my pajama bottoms!
Maggie May (Maddy x Cash) is my little yellow girl who has exceeded very well in the sport of agility. In fact it is why I am writing you today- as she earned her AKC title "PAX" (preferred agility champion) on October 15!
She is such a tiny little thing (measures 19" at shoulder) that I dropped her to the 'Preferred' classes which is16" as opposed to her required jump height of 20". She actually earned her 20 double qualifying runs in her 20" jump class but could never reach the 750 points required to receive a MACH (master agility champion). I dropped her to 16" jump height after receiving 22 double Qs and earning 412 points.
So after earning her 20th double qulaifying runs in the preferred classes she has finally reached the pinnacle of her agility career! We are very excited and plan to continue to run in the 16" preferred division as long as her health remains excellent! She loves to run agility- although I think it's the treats that she receives after running each run that motivates her the most!
Both dogs have given me such joy and pride and I am grateful to have them in my life! I just thought that after 8 years you should know how well 2 of your puppies have done in the performance rings!!
I have atteached a some pics.
Enjoy!
