Phoenix came to me from Nancy Howard of Bailiwick Aussies. Words can not express how much this dog means to me. He is everything that I could have asked for.
He started his show career with a bang, first time out went UKC Best In Show Puppy. Next time out ASCA Best Opposite Sex puppy over an entry of about 40 puppies. From there he was started in obedience. When he started class I hadn't even taught him to sit and in just a few short months he completed all the basic obedience classes and earned his Canine Good Citizen award. After taking the winter off we are back in obedience class. If all goes well we'll be ready to trial in 2010.
He is just so talented and a joy to live with. He is a total gentleman with my two young children. He is the clown of the house and is always making me laugh.
Phoenix is a very special dog and I believe he will be able to do it all.
