Gwen is my 2 year old Red Merle Australian Shepherd. She is my
first Aussie, but certainly won't be my last. Besides being my loving,
affectionate friend, she is also a smart and talented girl, who is
always ready to do things with me. And as you'll see, she is also
quite photogenic and loves to pose for pictures!
Our activities include showing in the breed ring in ASCA's altered
program, rally obedience, water sports, and our favorite agility.

2007 has been a banner year for Gwen and I. We started the year off in NADAC agility earning our Novice Regular and Novice Jumpers title. In
April we earned our ARCH in APDT Rally and our Level 2 championship. This spring/summer we earned our Novice Standard & Novice Jumpers
title in AKC. The summer heat didn't slow Gwen down, off we went to Connecticut to compete in Canine Water Sports. There we earned our Team
Swim Merit and certificates for Novice Head Submerge & Novice 60' Retrieve.
At our ASCA Nationals this year it was held in NJ at the Sussex Fairgrounds. We stayed at the show site in a camper and what a difference it
made. Every morning started off with a bike ride, and every evening ended with one. We had such a great time chatting with friends and just
hanging out relaxing after a day of competing. Gwen took 3rd place in Altered Am-Bred class, also finished up our Open Gamblers & Jumpers
title. We also earned our Novice Regular title. There was some great competition so while we didn't get many placements, I was happy with
earning the legs needed to finishing up three titles.
We ended the year at St Huberts in Madison NJ, earning our 9th QQ towards our ARCHX.
This coming year we hope to continue showing in AKC & ASCA agility and make our debut in USDAA. We also hope to finish our ARCHX and start
on our APDT Level 3 title. And continue in Advance and Excellent AKC rally. As well as continue earning more certificates in Canine Water Sports
come summer time.
