Maddie is our rescue sheltie who came to us at 11 months old. She is an extremely smart girl (sometimes too smart) who gives the flat-coats a run for their money.

My first love when it came to dogs was Shetland Sheepdogs. Although I’m very active with Flat-Coats now, I still have shelties and Storm joined our family back in 2006. I think he thinks he is a herding, retrieving FC-Sheltie cross breed. He likes to run in the field with the big dogs and even though he is a small guy, he has the heart of a lion.

Rudy came to us as a foster when he was 5.5 months old. I didn’t want this thrice rejected wild thing in my house at Christmastime, but such is rescue.  We all fell in love with him, especially his buddy Franklin and he just had to stay.  While he is more of a snuggler than a worker, he is a very birdy boy and loves doing field stuff. 

Rudy is finally becoming a flyball dog, earning his FDCh on 10/10/09 and coming very close to his FDCh-Silver, which will only take one more good heat!   Not the speedster his sister Marcie is, but he knows his job!
