Dog's
in my life.
I guess most people have had dogs at some time
in their life. I can remember dogs as
early as age 5 or 6. I never did any training with dogs in
the past other than the very basic obedience stuff, sit, stay, down,
or come. I got interested in getting more involved with training since I
met my friend Elaine back in 1997. She took me to an agility
trial and obedience shows, she got me started. I've had all americans ( Heinz 57
) dogs, German Shepherd dogs, Irish Setters, Cocker Spaniels, and I now
have the ultimate training challenge for dogs. Three , yes three, Jack Russell
Terriers. They coexist with another JRT, an Australian Shepherd, and a Border Collie. 6
dogs here, not many solicitors knocking at the front door. My friend and mentor
in the dog world, Elaine got me into this, and
Laura Miller in Atlanta got me started with JRT's.
I owe them a lot.
Crispin
UDX TD OA AD NAC NAG NAJ
Crispin is my friend Elaines Border Collie, her most titled
dog ever. He was the first dog she 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, Elaine's Aussie, while not yet titled
(could it be his mom's fault?) is doing quite well in agility. She has high
hopes for this young dog.
Stonewall Jackson
Stoney is Elaines 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 first JRT. Beau and I lived on my
old sailboat together for a long time, he still likes his alone time with
me. Beau isn't fooled 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 :-)
He's great with kids and puppies.
Robert E. Lee
Bobbie (do you notice
a trend in southern generals?)is our rescued JRT. I started working
with him 4 months ago and he is quick to learn. I plan for Bobbie to make his debut in agility at our next local trial in October of 2001. He catches on so quickly.
Just Jill
We've got a Jack named Jill, aka "the
Princess". There is nothing in this world like a Jack Russell puppy,
she'll make you tired just watching her. She is the only female in a house with 5 males, should be interesting when they all get together. Look for her in the agility ring circa 2002. Pictures are at the practice jump here at the LCDA Grand Prix Regional Qualifier in Charleston on 3/11/2001 taking her first jump at the tender age of 8 weeks.
