Fall is the busy show season here in IL. I showed 3 weekends in a row at the Car-Dun-al DTC, the Glenbard DTC & The Fox Valley DTC. I showed 3 dogs in 3 or 4 classes each day, I was quite busy! Truelove's I Love Lucy CDX, RE "Lucy" got her Rally Novice, Rally Advance and Rally Excellent title during these shows with some very nice scores and placements. She is almost 12 years old. I also showed her one day in veterans rally and she came in 2nd, she tied as far as score for 1st with a 99 but got 2nd due to time, a 7 yr old was faster by a few seconds. Himark Zenoa Next Generation Of Truelove's CD, BN, CGC, Pet Partner Therapy Dog "Louie" finished his CD title at these shows plus he got an extra 5 legs too. All with nice scores in the 90's and some placements. He qualified each time he showed. Louie was also part of a rally team one day, it was a team of 4 shelties, and our team won 1st place with a score of 398 out of 400. Trilliant Silver Triumph CD, BN, CGC, RAE, THD, Pet Partner Therapy Dog "Ellie" was shown a couple times during these shows and earned one leg towards her CDX. She missed a couple of legs due to that darn out of sight sit stay!

Summerlove Fonzie earned is Herding PT title at the Mid-FL Australian Cattle Dog Fanciers trials (11/20/16). He was trained and handled by Angie McCrann. He is owned by April Dunford, Lorrie Reed, Karen & Kevin Alderman and bred by Sharon Crawford.

He is now BIS, BISS, GCh Sunburst One Cool Dude ROM, CC, BN, RE, OAP, AJP, CGC, PT. This qualifies him for ASSA’s Versatility Excellent + Champion award.
