“Abby”, Shasta Meant For Streett’s End finished her CD obedience title. Not bad for a black dog in that heat! Abby is owned by Deb Brady and Richard Streett.

Lots of field success this year for “Gracy”, and me; It’s SR Banquo’s Strikes Our Fancy JH WC CGC now. She got her WC in the spring, and ran Junior Hunter and Started Retriever tests through the summer, getting both titles by summer’s end. It’s on to handling yardwork and multiple marks field training as we look forward to “the next levels”!

“Franklin” (Maple Manse Stayman Rules) has finally started his flyball racing career. With only a handful of heats under his belt, he has earned his Flyball Dog and Flyball Dog Excellent titles and should earn his next title at his next tournament (have to miss the CRFCRC Reunion Picnic for that!). He already ranks #54 of 93 FCRs registered with NAFA for flyball, and hopes to move up that list very fast! His mixed breed “sister” Lucy is currently the #96 mixed breed out of 1896 registered, so he has big paws to fill.

It’s been an awesome Spring 2004 for “Gracy”, SR Banquo’s Strikes Our Fancy *CD* JH *WCX*. On April 11th, Gracy qualified in BOTH WCX tests of PVGRC’s double WC/WCX tests! The past few weeks have brought Sandy and Gracy BIG successes! At the Dog Owner’s Obedience Trial on March 14th in West Friendship, MD, Gracy’s tying-for-third-place-score (out of 45 dogs!) earned her the third Novice A leg and her Companion Dog title! At CRFCRC’s Fun Match two weekends later, Gracy earned High in Match (regular classes), with a score of 196.5 in Novice A obedience, AND Best Pet in conformation. In the CRFCRC Supported Entry on April 4th at the Chesapeake Kennel Club Obedience Trial in Prince Frederick, MD (amid tornado warnings, a tornado warning delay, high winds, rain and cold – yes, outdoors obedience competition!), Gracy took first place in her class (with a decent score of 192). They came home with High Flat-Coat In Trial honors as well. They’re looking forward to doing just as well in next-level obedience trials and hunt tests this fall!

“Shayla”, Shalyn’s Not Just a Pretty Face, bred, owned and handled by Sherri Lilley, took Winners Bitch for two points each day. She now has 10 points at eight months. On Saturday her mother “Reggae”, Ch SR TLC & Shalyn’s Rhythm of the Island CD NA NAP NJP WC CGC, owned and handled by Sherri Lilley, took Best of Breed over other male and bitch specials.

In November, “Prue” picked up her 2nd OA leg at the NCBC Agility Trial and finished her *OA* title at the JAG Agility Trial. Prue also picked up her 1st two AXJ legs at the JAG Agility trial. “Piper” also picked up her 1st and 2nd AXJ legs at these two trials.

In December, Prue finished her *AXJ* at the Oriole Dog Training Club Agility Trial and picked up her 1st MXJ leg!!

Prue is owned by Dawn Buttion and Marty Archambeault and trained and handled by Marty.
