Cathy & Shammie's Photo Gallery Page
UPDATE!!! 7/1/07 - Shammie and I tried a new venue, along with my friend Kim and her Labradoodle Katie!
It's called Dock Dogs or Big Air!
It is SO MUCH FUN! I think Shammie actually likes it better than agility!

Shammie has a perfect AKC weekend! This is a series of 6 runs over three days,
3 Standard and 3 Jumpers with Weaves, and we Q'ed in all 6 runs! (Her Standard Poodle friend Frederick is added on at the end.) |

See Shammie at the 2007 AKC Nationals, in Sunbury, Ohio! There were 300 dogs in her class, and we ended up 28th overall !!

This is a series of 5 runs from another trial. We need two more double Qs for our MACH 2! We mess up on the second run, but we ace all the rest. Notice the cheering on the end of the video! We got our MACH 2!!
|
|
We usually show AKC - this is our first USDAA trial in 5 years! We got our Masters Jumpers with the 2nd run.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~NATIONALS UPDATE - Well, we're back from the Nationals, and Shammie was the best she's ever been!
We had a wonderful time and had several of our personal best courses. We had 4 Qs out of 5 runs, and
Shammie was so fast I had a very hard time keeping up with her. Our runs were totally amazing!! The best
thing is, that out of 270 dogs in our height class, our cumulative score put us at number 28th in the Nation!!
Whoooeeee, what an incredible little dog!!!!!!
Here are all of our runs at the Nationals:
