| Gentry's Enchanted Garden CD, OA, OAJ - English Spring Spaniel | |
 |
Ashley is half sister to my other ESS, Hailey. They both have the same sire CH Gentry-N-Roselane's Incognito, 'Sly'. Ashley was born November 30, 1998 in the suburbs of the 'Windy City'. She literally flew into our lives when she was 10 weeks old. Maybe that is why she is in perpetual motion, always into everything and wanting to do something all the time. We started with basic obedience and then moved to the sport of Agility, which she loves. All we need to do is get some focus in that energy. She also loves the water and her human daddy, Chuck. When she slows down enough to take a nap she wants in Daddy's lap. In his eyes, she does no wrong. She is bright, happy, incredibly spoiled and loves everyone young and old. She is a true joy in our lives. Owner: Terri Campbell and Chuck Campbell |

| Stone’s Bailey Crossing NAP, NJP, CGC - Shetland Sheepdog | |

Bailey came to us in April 1998 at age 1 1/2 with the help of Maryland Sheltie Rescue. We were his fourth home in that brief time. He had been abused in at least two of the homes and because of this had many behavior problems. Since then, he has completed several obedience and agility classes and is currently enrolled in intermediate agility at HOTC. He loves agility, fetching the tennis ball, and playing with his sister, Holly. Owner: Stacey Stone |

Casper (Bailey's Casper, CGC, HOTC CDX, FMX, PD1) is our first American Bulldog. He was born on Oct. 7, 1998. Our
lives haven't been the same since. He is a sweetheart of a dog who has been
going to HOTC since he was 3 1/2 months old. Casper enjoys Agility & Flyball. Casper is the first American Bulldog to earn his
Flyball Master. Casper may be our first AB, but he is definitely not our
last. Owner: Chrissy Barribeau |
| Can. CH Quiche's Stolen Moments CD, AX, MXJ, NAP, NJP, FDCh, TT - Bouvier des Flandres | |
 |
Can. CH "Chauka" CD AX MXJ NAP NJP FDCh TT VBCH
- (pronounced Shaw-kah) was born Feb. 6, 1994 and died on Sept. 11, 2004. It seems like almost every Bouvier is named "Bear" and Chauka is no exception. I am told that "Chauka" means "little bear" in a Canadian Indian language. Her registered name is significant as she was literally "stolen" from her breeder. She was traced and returned to her breeder because of her tattoo. She is now microchipped. She loves Agility and Flyball and stuffed toys. She is one of only two Bouviers as of this writing to earn both an MXJ and a FDCH. Owner: Carrie Keith |

(5/16/95 - 7/21/02) -
Dash was the dog that taught me the most about training. Dash excelled at all the activities we participated in and had remarkable accomplishments in his short life. Dash was my first MX/MXJ and AAD dog in Agility. He was not particularly fast but very steady and consistent. Dash was most at home in the pastures and farms doing his herding work. Dash was Alabama's first Sheltie to complete the AKCs HIAs. He also reached the top levels in AHBA registry gaining points towards his Championship. Dash was always by my side ready to help with lessons or learn more himself. Dash and I were quite the team mates any time we entered the arena or pasture.

(7/21/87 - 7/31/02) -
Duffy was my first dog and first Sheltie. He introduced me to many of the dog-related activities I continue with today. Duffy showed me all the things a Sheltie could do. Duffy got a late start in life in training but achieved many things and was actively competing in Herding and Agility at 14 ½ yrs old. Duffy got two legs towards his UD and was the first Sheltie in Alabama to get a qualifying score in the AKC Herding Intermediate class. Duffy loved Agility and Herding and was accomplished in both venues. Duffy was full of life and always fun to be around as well as fun to show. Duffy was the best "first dog" you could ever
have wanted.

| Maurgold's Poet of Laugharne UDX3, MX, MXJ, AXP, AJP, CGC - Golden Retriever | |
 |
Dylan (CH Clark's Remington Rifle CD x Maurgold Clark's Melody) was born June 18, 1996 and died April 10, 2007. Dylan was from the Connecticut breeder who bred Jade and Rhett, my first two Goldens. He was Rhett's great nephew and Jade's great, great nephew. Dylan was trained in obedience, agility, and field work. As a young dog, Dylan loved jumping on Trys in the pool and playing in the mud or swimming in the lake. He enjoyed retrieving bumpers or game birds like pigeons or ducks but most of all he wanted to be with his humans. http://aureategoldenretrievers.net/poseydylan.pdf http://www.knology.net/~poseyeb/Dylanobit.htm Owner: Elinor Posey |
| Dixieland’s Gentle Gester CDX, AX, AXJ, OJP, RE - Bouvier des Flandres | |
 |
Gester CDX,AX,AXJ,OJP,RE,HIC is a phenomenal dog not only in size but in heart. He was a freebie in the newspaper at just over a year old. Doing Bouvier rescue at that time, I took him in and placed him in a wonderful home. His zest for life and need for a purpose brought him back to me at age 5 years. He is so willing to please, he makes training easy. He is very much the clown and since his lineage supposedly takes him back to a well-known Bouvier named “Beau Geste”, I just had to name him “Gester”. He is so much fun to watch because he is always happy. Owner: Carrie Keith |
| Ch. Aabest Rock of Gibraltar CD, AX, OAJ - Portuguese Water Dog | |
 |
Gibraltar spent his first four years with David Richards. He trained him and did therapy work with him. Mostly, he loved and cared for him. When David's circumstances changed, "G" as we call him, was returned to me, his breeder. He lives with his sister Raisin, half sister Tuna, and nephew Mykey, all Portuguese Water Dogs, plus seven cats and numerous farm animals. His current favorite activity is lying belly up on the couch with his head in your lap! Owner: Ellen Allen |

| Brenda's Little Bit of Honey CDX, AX, AXJ, OAP, OJP, RAE, CGC, TDI, NAC, NJC, NGC, PD I - Golden Retriever | |
 |
Honey is my first Golden Retriever and I'm sure not my last. She has been a joy to train in obedience and agility. She learns quickly and enjoys all aspects of her training. In June 1999, she and Brenda attended Camp Gone to the Dogs in Marlboro, Vermont where she received her TDI (Therapy Dog International). She has been to a nursing home since 8 weeks old, delighting the residents. Owner: Brenda Murray |

| OTCH Dwalin Heartbeat of America UDX7 - Shetland Sheepdog | |

IROC is one of those "once in a lifetime" dogs. He was always a joy to live with, a joy to be friends with, and a joy to show. He will live in my heart forever.
IROC's life - 8/27/96 - 4/03/06
Owner: Linda Hall |
| Maurgold's Aureate Jade UD, CGC, TT - Golden Retriever | |
 |
Jade (AM/CAN CH Jolly Jack Daniels x Clark's Totoket Jasmine CDX, WC) was my first golden and my first obedience dog. She was always such a good girl, except for one day when she began destroying the laundry room floor. She always tried very hard to please me and she loved her social outings as she viewed going to class. She hated competing in obedience trials in regular classes though, although she thought that competing in Brace with Rhett and her dad Tom was lots of fun. Jade was born February 27, 1983 and died July 13, 1995. Owner: Elinor Posey |

| Ch. King Ridge's Absolute Power CDX, RE, NA, AXJ, CGC - Rottweiler | |
 |
Justice was born April 16, 2001 to Dad, BIS CH Steinplatz Ageless Petra,
CD and Mom, CH Annihaus Halston Hussy. He is OFA Excellent with clear
elbows, heart, eyes, normal thyroid and is VWD negative. He comes from
four generations with similar health clearances, a rare thing in
Rottweilers. His soundness and the working drive he inherited from his
grandparents have made him a wonderful boy to work with! He's had to
carry us, his novice owners thru every step of Agility, which is his
true love... next to his Daddy. Owner: Herman Fitzgerald and Beth Fitzgerald |
| Kronos De Kafka CD, CGC - Giant Schnauzer | |
 |
Date of whelping was April 18, 1995. Kafka is tall, dark and handsome! But, since judges do not award points for doggy smiles and looks in obedience trials, I am stepping up my efforts in Novice class to earn a CD with the hopes to eventually join the ranks of the many famous and titled dogs of H.O.T.C.

 |
In ever loving memory of Mallorie- Ch Calico's Stuck With You CDX OA NAJ- HOF...........
June 7, 1993-April 20, 2006...........
Mallorie has been like a dream to me. Aside from being my best friend, she has done more in performance events than I have ever thought. She is currently training for Utility and I hope to start showing in the near future. She has also managed to earn a couple of agility titles with little training and dedication from me. Owner: Kristy Hill |
| Merrie CD, CGC - Border Collie | |
 |
Merrie is a five year old black and white Border Collie who absolutely lives up to her name. Life for her is a ball - never dull or boring and training her is always fun. Having her CD, and now working in open, she is one of those intense and focused border collies, though not always "intense" about what her owner is "focused" on. Merrie is well known patroling the beach at Gulf Shores looking for someone to throw her ball and give her an excuse to go swimming.!! Owner: Marilyn Heinisch |
| Meadowpond Dixie's Mindy Girl CD, MX, AXJ, CGC - Golden Retriever | |
 |
"Mindy" was actually my mother’s dog. She is the sweetest golden, with the most expressive brown eyes. She has a unique personality, quite shy as well as wild and destructive, so we decided I needed to occupy her time with Obedience and Agility. Agility is giving her confidence for the Obedience ring. Her destructive behavior has all but come to a halt (my mother should have had a forest for all the trees she destroyed). Mindy completed her CD on March 10, 1997. Owner: Terri Campbell |
| Ch. Southridge's Molly Be Good CDX, OA, OAJ, CGC, ROM, VC - Rhodesian Ridgeback | |
 |
Molly was born Feb 13, 1992. She earned her titles/rankings as follows: Aug 1994 - AKC Champion Mar 1994 - CD Jun 1994 - CGC July 1996 - CDX May 1998 - NA Feb 1999 - OA Apr 1999 - NAJ Aug 1999 - ROM - Register of Merit - Rodesian Ridgeback Club of the US Award Aug 1999 - VC - Versatility Dog - Rodesian Ridgeback Club of the US Award 1994 #2 Novice and #6 overall Obedience Ridgeback 1996 #4 Open and #9 overall Obedience Ridgeback 1997 #3 Open and #8 overall Obedience Ridgeback May 1996 2nd place in Open Class at the Ridgeback Nationals July 1998 3rd place in Open Class at the Ridgeback Nationals #7 Ridgeback in 1994 per Front and Finish (Delaney System) #3 Ridgeback in 1997 per Front and Finish (Delaney System) #8 Ridgeback in 1st half of 1999 in Agility Owner: Bruce Plaiss and Barbara Plaiss |
| Mozart's Black Rapsody CDX, MX, MXJ, CGC - Rottweiler | |
 |
Mozart - Ya gotta love 'em. He is the sweetest yet most hardheaded Rottweiler in
Alabama. Mozart's Black Rapsody is almost five years old now. Unlike his kennel-mate, Sable, he really gets into his obedience work. He does not do all that well but he sure enjoys doing it. I guess that's why it took him three years of training to finally get his CD title, which still included a fourth place finish and two Best Working Dog awards for Novice A Competition in only three attempts. His CDX training is going well. Agility is also a love of Mozart. At the beginning, however, he was reluctant to perform at any trial except at his home field. This has passed and he has successfully completed his NA, NAJ, OA, OAJ and AX Standard class titling, even a couple of first place finishes with two clean runs for his MX title (and 18 MACH points), all this since the end of October 1998. Mozart is a cold weather comprtitor. Look out when the Frost is on the pumpkin. Owner: Jerry Marotta |
| Murphy's Golden Harvest CD, AX, NAC, TT, TDI - Shetland Sheepdog | |
 |
Murphy's Golden Harvest CD AX HT HCTs NAC TT TDI
(5/20/89 - 12/28/98) -
Murphy was my second Sheltie and was best friends to my first Sheltie, Duffy. Murphy liked Agility the best but also participated in Obedience and Herding and received titles in those venues. Murphy was always willing to please me and try something new. Murphy has the distinction of being Alabama's very first OA and AX dog of any breed as well as the first NADAC titled dog in Alabama.

| Ch. SHAMRK's Kiss the Girls CD, RE, CGC - Rottweiler | |
 |
When Nic was born on June 16, 2005 I could not take my eyes off of him.
He is the "Apple of My Eye" and just a wee bit spoiled, but never fails
to try what ever I ask of him. Named after a Morgan Freeman, Ashley
Judd movie, Nic tries to live up to his name at every opportunity. Nic
was raised by the members of HOTC and they continue to shape his future
as he begins work toward his CDX and trains in agility.
Nic died on July 1, 2010. Owner: Herman Fitzgerald and Beth Fitzgerald |
| Ch. Cedarwind Cakewalk Patti UD - Papillon | |
 |
Though Patti is finished with obedience classes, every Friday morning she and our other dogs head out to one, two, or three nursing homes (thirteen different nursing homes in all) to show off her talents in obedience exercises and tricks, followed by lap time, petting, etc. Besides nursing homes, they also visit schools, churches, and any requests we get. Patti, the oldest, started when she was 7 weeks old and is still a crowd pleaser. Owner: Earl Anderson and Vivian Anderson |

| Rehab's Praise OA, OAJ, NAP, NJP, TT, CGC - Bouvier des Flandres | |
 |
"R'ecca" OA,OAJ,NAP,NJP,TT,CGC,HIC, September 5, 1992 - Dec 5, 2006, was a creme fawn Bouvier with natural ears - yes, they can be this color, but they spark a lot of debate about the standard. I call her my Tennessee Polar Bear. She was credited with over 150 hours in less than six months of service in the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs program visiting nursing homes in Canada. She LOVES people and FOOD is her driving passion. She started obedience and agility late in life (she was already four when I got her), but she loves it all and with unequalled enthusiasm! But for now she is enjoying a much deserved retirement. Recca has a Versatility Bouvier
Excellent title now.
Owner: Carrie Keith |
| Ch. Aabest Raisin a Ruckus CD, MX, AXJ - Portuguse Water Dog | |
 |
Raisin is very special to me. She finished her championship from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class over specials at 10 months of age. Completed her CD from Novice B class at 3 trials with scores in the 190's. (She's my third generation of obedience titlists.) Raisin has incredible talent in the water, the whepling box and as a promising agility dog! She's a take anywhere, do anything dog, and I couldn't ask for more! (DOB: 1/24/91) Owner: Ellen Allen |

 |
Owner: Janice Shavor |
| Morelli's Ruff-N-Reddy UD, OA, NAJ, CGC - Australian Shepherd | |
 |
Red is one of those once in a lifetime dogs and I was lucky enough to be the one to take him home. He is very intelligent and game to do whatever I throw his way -- the conformation ring, obedience, agility, herding, etc. He always looks to me like he's saying "What else Mom?". He goes everywhere with me, work, bank, drive-in movies, and always impresses people with his good behavior and fun tricks. He loves to perform. He has proven himself as a breeder in passing his great genes on to his puppies. He is a joy to have as part of our family.
(9/29/91-2/4/08) Owner: Terece Morelli |
| Maurgold's Aureate Rhett CDX, CGC, TT - Golden Retriever | |
 |
Rhett was the love of my life and my second Maurgold golden from my friend Maureen in Marlborough, Connecticut. Jade, my first golden, and Rhett's mother Sara (Maurgold's Spring Serenade CD) were littermates. Maureen bred Sara to her champion golden Micah (Am/Can Ch Clark's Micah Angelo CDX) and I was lucky enough to get one of the two puppies in the litter. I always had thought Micah was absolutely beautiful with a fantastic personality and I was very fortunate that Rhett turned out to have both Micah's personality as well as his beautiful head. Rhett was born March 11, 1985 and died February 11, 1995. Owner: Elinor Posey |

We special ordered her from Catherine Mills in Asheville, NC and she really filled the order.She got her CD in November '96 and we hope to get the X in Fall '97. Her favorite sport is fishing and she loves running on the beach and playing with her best toy, a small rubber ball with a bell in it. She is trying hard in Agility and will do well when her Mom can remember the course!!! Owner: Marilyn Heinisch |
| Rusty AMBOR CDX, CGC - Chow Mix | |
 |
Rusty was adopted from the Huntsville Humane Society in 1990 and earned his CDX in March 1995. Rusty is retired from training. Rusty is such a sweet and loving dog to me and a few select people. The rest of the folks he just ignores.. He is such a mama's boy. He is very obedient and patient, especially with the terrorist (Min. Schnauzers Shadow and Maggie) that constantly give him a hard time. Rus is an absolutely wonderful dog with a soft heart. I'm honored that he made the effort to win my heart that day at the Humane Society. Owner: Karen Paulukaitis |
| MACH Mozart's Sable Symphony UD, NAP, CGC - Alaskan Malamute | |
 |
Sable was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee Nov 11, 1995. She was eighth in a litter of nine. Sable always was a good pupil in obedience classes but she fell in love with agility. It was love at first sight. Her outstanding performances in agility have ranked her as the Best Alaskan Malamute across the United States in both the Excellent and Open classes for 1998, and the best in the Open JWW class for 1999, according to Front and Finish Magazine. Her points totals are virtually twice the amount of the number two ranked dogs in both classes.
Sable is the 1st Alaskan Malamute to earn an AX and MX title! Sable died on July 2, 2010, at 14 years, 8 months. Owner: Mary Jo Marotta and Jerry Marotta |

| AKEB's Only the Shadow Knows CD, MX, MXJ, AXP, AJP, PJ, NAC, NJC, NGC, CGC - Miniature Schnauzer | |
 |
11/7/1994 - 4/28/2009
Shadow (a.k.a. Dogzilla) came to H.O.T.C. because he needed to learn how to deal with people touching and being near him (in a way other than biting and growling). Shadow's crowning achievements were earning his CGC title and wanting to socialize with most people. He was never a great obedience or agility dog; but as another trainer said, "Shadow needs to be measured not by how far he goes, but by how far he has come... and he has come a long way.". Shadow was ranked as the #10 Min. Schnauzer in Open Agility and #2 Min. Schnauzer in Novice JWW for 1998. Shadow retired from agility on May 2, 2004 with 15 double Q's and 385 points. He was always such a silly guy and did his best to please (when fear did not get in his way). We really do miss our little buddy. Owner: Karen Paulukaitis |
| Shadow HOTC CD, CGC - Border Collie Mix | |
 |
Shadow was adopted from the Huntsville Humane Society in 1994. She originally came to HOTC's beginner class because I was tired of being taken for a walk instead of the other way around. She also had a dog aggression problem and was shy with strangers. While she still has to be reminded who is in charge, she has emerged as my "good dog" and is no longer dog aggressive. Socialization and obedience have really turned her around. She serves as a demo dog in obedience classes and public functions and is currently in an open obedience class. Owner: Cathy Palmer |
| Sheba NAC-V, PD I, CGC - Collie / Chow Mix | |
 |
Sheba is a Collie/Chow mix adopted from a neighbor. She was very timid and fearful from birth. At one year old, she started in Beginner obedience classes and progressed through Sub-Novice and Novice classes. Now she is participating in agility and is headed to participate in some USDAA shows. HOTC obedience and agility classes have given her confidence and helped her personality to blossom into a totally different dog. Owner: Brenda Murray |
| Shiloh Scotsman's Dream CD, JH, AX, AXJ, OAP, OJP, CGC, TDIA - Labrador Retriever | |
 |
Shiloh was born in September of 1996 and died on October 14, 2004. She is the first dog of Tina and Bill McAdam. Shiloh (Shy, for short) has a strong drive to learn and please. She earned her Junior Hunter (JH) in 1998, as well as her CGC. She’s Bill’s best hunting buddy, well heeled and traveled. She has hunted an average of 9 states with Bill and various human hunting buddies each year since 1998. She worked on agility and obedience titles with Tina until 2002 and is now enjoying semi-retirement and running in the occasional preferred agility trial. Shiloh has also received her TDI certification from Therapy Dog International and she enjoys visiting the elderly in both Alabama and Tennessee. She finished her 50th therapy dog visit at the end of 2003 and has received her TDIA certificate from Therapy Dog International. Owner: Bill McAdam and Tina McAdam |

| Brenda's Sugar and Spice CD, RN, CGC, TDI - Golden Retriever | |
 |
Sugar is my second golden and a sister to my first golden Honey. She was born May 1, 1999 in a litter of 15 when the vet wasn't sure if any of the puppies would be born alive and they were concerned the mother would not live also. However, the mother and all 15 puppies survived the birth. The breeder watched the litter and found me the bravest female. Sugar is a smart dog that was my demo dog for the beginner class I teach before she ever attended a class herself. I expect great things from her in obedience and agility. Owner: Brenda Murray |

| Tipper CGC - Shetland Sheepdog | |
 |
Tipper (1993? - April 4, 2006) came to us in April 2003 as a foster dog under the care of sheltie rescues in Alabama and Maryland, as well as North AL Herding Dog Rescue. She was turned into a Mississippi Shelter as a ten year old HW positive dog to be put down. We immediately fell in love with her and adopted her in December 2003. She is currently undergoing several holistic heartworm and heart repair treatments and is thought to be about only 6 years old. She is expected to outlive the heartworms. She is currently enrolled in obedience classes. Her favorite activities include chasing birds and squirrels, attacking fuzzy toys, and trying to steal food. Owner: Stacey Stone |

| Sunfire's Storm Trysail UDX, MX, MXJ, CGC - Golden Retriever | |
 |
Trys (OTCH Bargello's Ten on the Richter MH UDX TDX WCX HRCH U-CD x Sunfire Crystalite Skyfire JH CD WC) was born in West Suffield, Connecticut, on March 5, 1995 and died in Stowe, Vermont, on January 22, 2006. Her breeders were Mike Book and Barbara Biewer (Sunfire). Although Trys was titled in obedience and agility and was trained in field/hunting, she also loved being just my lapdog. She was very prey oriented and would have loved to be out there hunting her own birds, squirrels, and rabbits for dinner - she liked to sit in the doorway and watch them for hours while whimpering. On 3-5-2005, her 10th birthday, she earned the GRCA CCA (Certificate of Conformation Assessment) title.
When she died, she had 46 Double Qs and 720 MACH Points of the 750 needed for a MACH title. She lacked only one placement in JWW for her GRCA Agility Dog Hall of Fame title. http://www.knology.net/~poseyeb/trys.htm Owner: Elinor Posey |

Tucker was born June 23, 1996. We've been owned by him since he was 7 weeks of age. What an incredible journey we've had with
him! The puppy years and early adulthood years have flown by way too fast. He didn't start his performance in agility and obedience until he was 8 years of age. His work ethic has made this chapter the greatest experience we've ever had.

| Taylor's Misty Tuxedo CD, NAJ, CGC - Lhasa Apso | |
 |
"Tuxedo" (March 1993-February 2007) is the black sheep of the family. Not just due to his color. He is a holy terror. I thought we would kill each other before we got our CD. He was stubborn and hard headed. Training him has been a humbling experience. I started working Open but have not had the patience to continue. He is a wonderful spoiled lap dog at the moment.

March 1994 - May 30, 2006....
Will was named for Will Rogers because he never met a man...or woman...or child...or dog...or cat that he didn't like--he is sweet and friendly. He loves agility which he thinks is play, not work. He has earned twelve first placements for his twelve qualifying runs on his way to acquiring four AKC agility titles. Will is a certified therapy dog (Therapy Dogs International) and visits nursing homes, schools and children's camps. Owner: Norma Lattimore |
