Fonzi's Show Accomplishments:

9-12 Months Old:

                       FONZI ATTAINS BOTH HIS               
AMERICAN AND CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Fonzi had a very exciting puppy career in the conformation ring in  2001 and I am so very proud of every one of his accomplishments!  But little did I know he was just getting started and there were to be more surprises in store for us in 2002!

2002 was a very memorable year for both of us as Fonzi finished the requirements for his American Championship with back-to-back 5 point majors (owner-handled for 11 points, 1 major) and all at the tender age of 27 months!   Then one month after finishing his American Championship, he gave me a wonderful birthday surprise by finishing his Canadian Championship as well.  And we were able to do it as a team ... completely owner-handled!  The good Lord was indeed looking down on both of us and it will be a year that will forever stand out in my memory.

But now that Fonzi has retired from the show ring, it is time to move on and explore the challenges of other venues.   He certainly started out on the right track, passing the GSDCA Temperament Test with flying colors!  We both continue to work hard at the local training club where he is currently taking  classes to polish his performance to trial for the first of his obedience titles.  He's already taken and excelled at a beginning agility class and we both look forward to our weekly herding lessons as well.  Talk about a full schedule!  But he's a highly intelligent and willing partner who loves the challenges and mental stimulation that the work offers.  He's definitely not just another pretty face!  I truly believe this guy is the type of dog that can 'do it all' !   The big bonus is that we make a great team and enjoy our time working and playing together.  :-)

Thank you Bonnie Calloway, Jomar German Shepherds, for selling me this beautiful boy and entrusting him to my care.  I can't thank you enough!  He's been a one-in-a-million dog and I wouldn't trade him for all the gold in the world.  He's my heart and soul plus my very best friend .....I couldn't imagine life without him.

What a great start!
Fonzi's first show at the Richland Kennel Club in April, 2001.
