PAC Accomplishments:

Agility Dogs:  Levi & BJ

Levi is seven years old and because of his speed and my lack of speed, he has been a real challenge for me. He is very patient and tolerant of me. At this point he has completed his AX and his AXJ in AKC. We have one title from CPE and hope to continue competing in that venue as well. We are just beginning to compete in USDAA also. We enjoy competing in obedience where he has earned his U-UD in UKC and his UD in AKC. He is such a joy and I just love working with him - qualify or not.

BJ is two years old and is coming along very nicely. He wants nothing more than to please. Unfortunately he has picked up the vocalization during his runs that his older brother exhibits. At this point BJ has earned his OA and his NAJ in AKC. He has not yet competed in any other venues, but we hope to. We also compete in obedience where he has earned his CD in AKC.

They both are truly the loves of my life and I am happiest when I am doing something with them.

Major Accomplishment:

Agility/Breed Philosophy: 

I taught Middle School Health, Physical Education, Math and Computers 
for 30 years before retiring. I also coached Volleyball, 
Basketball, Track, and Gymnastics. I loved what I did, but I really enjoy playing with my dogs. I am so glad that retirement has allowed me the time to do that. I have been doing agility for about five or six years. Currently I have two Border Terriers who are competing in agility and in obedience.
