I started this obsession in 1985 with my first dog, a Sheltie from a pet store, and I quickly found it necessary to learn about dog training & behavior, as I had no idea how to handle my new little problem child! My neurotic puppy mill dog managed to earn the obedience title of Utility Dog in AKC as well as in Canada, and she taught me so much. Thank you, Kelly.
My next Sheltie came from a reputable breeder (Lesson #1), and he was a once-in-a-lifetime dog. Teddie showed me a whole new level of obedience competition, earning an AKC Obedience Trial Championship, placing in many tournaments, and ranking amongst the Top 10 Obedience Shelties in the country in his prime. After a long & successful career in competitive Obedience, Teddie entered the sport of Agility at age 7, earning multiple titles including the USDAA Master Agility Dog title, up until his full retirement at age 12 1/2. He was a very special dog and I am so privileged to have had him as my companion for 14 years.
Currently I own all Border Collies. Our primary interest is Agility, with Flyball being our other addiction. Three of my Border Collies have earned their USDAA Agility Dog Championships amongst other titles. They can all be seen on these webpages.
I have also become involved in breeding on a limited basis, and I'm very proud of the pups that Token has sired.
In addition to my day job and teaching group Agility classes at night, my dogs keep me VERY busy. They also keep me very happy!
Quite simply, it is my email address inspired by Robin: My barking BC and my first ADCH (Agility Dog Champion).
BarkingADCHoo, that was my Robin.
