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

Since then, he has completed several obedience and agility classes and is currently enrolled in intermediate agility at HOTC.

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

ONYX Quiche's Dixieland Circle Of Life RE, CDX, NA, NAJ - Bouvier des Flandres
	'Cymba', was born in October 2003 and died March 20, 2011. As a puppy, he looked just like a little lion cub: golden brown with black tips to his puppy fur. We got Cymba after losing our beloved 'Nash' who was also fawn. For this reason his name 'Circle of Life' has special meaning to us. He is quite intense and different from my other laid back Bouviers. From Fall through Spring we are busy in the South and the rest of the year he is at Flyball tournaments in Canada. Cymba is the very first Bouvier to earn an FMCH (flyball master champion title) and the first to ever earn an ONYX (20,000 points).

	Taylormade Haberdasher CDX MX MXJ HS HIAs AAD HTD-IIId HTD-IIs HRD-IIIs (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. Owner: Daniel Jett

	McDuff of Deveron CDX AX AXJ HS AD HTD-IIds HRD-IIs TT TDI (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. Owner: Daniel Jett
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 of cancer April 10, 2007, likely from a blood clot to the brain, probably hemangiosarcoma. 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 Owner: Elinor Posey
Regent Fair Kona Isle (Freki) CD HSAds HIAd RATN CGC FDC TKN - Cardigan Welsh Corgi
	Freki was born on June 15, 2006 to fellow HOTC member bitch Windermere’s Tale of a Twister, bred by Heidi Spradling. Heidi sponsored me to join HOTC. Freki was my first dog, and he became my post-retirement project. I was determined to have a well-behaved dog, starting Freki in Puppy Classes with my ultimate goal to earn a CGC. This Freki did at 10 months old. We took him to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Association national show and, on a lark, put him into their Herding Instinct Test. He took to it immediately, settling into herding the sheep without any puppy antics of chasing or losing focus. I was told Freki was “the dog of a lifetime” with many owners coming to me asking about breeding to Freki. As a neutered dog, that door was closed. But we began taking herding workshops and began trialing, earning Started titles in both sheep and ducks; and eventually the Intermediate title in ducks. His other titles were in Obedience, Barn Hunt, Farm Dog and Trick Dog. In all, 8 titles over 5 disciplines. But titles aside, I was privileged to have Freki in my life for 15 ½ years. He was never an adoring cuddle bug, instead preferring vigorous work or play. Yet he never left my side while awake, nor my feet while asleep. And when I would leave on trips, Freki kept a vigil at the door leading to our garage for weeks at a time. He is sorely missed. 6/15/2006 – 1/11/2022. Owner: Lynn Boen
Dixielands 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

	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, of hemangiosarcoma, following a splenectomy and one fatal chemo treatment. Owner: Elinor Posey

	"Mindy" was actually my mothers 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

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

Nikita Heart of the Sunrise RN, NJP, HOTC CD, CGC - Lab/Chow Mixed Breed
	I found Nyki (RN,HOTC CD, HOTC RN, NJP, CGC) at a gas station in Limestone County when she was about 6 months old. I gave her to a friend with the assumption that I would eventually take her back. For the next 3 years she lived a relatively undisciplined life as a bully to the other dogs in the household, an escape artist, and an overweight couch potato. This was a dog who needed a new career! When I took her back she first became a companion for my much older Lab mix (he put her in her place!) and then eventually a student at HOTC. Nyki was in a Novice agility class and earned her NJP at age 13. She died on 10/27/12 at age 15 but was still competing in agility and rally trials earlier in the year. Owner: Patti O'Toole

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

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 of hemangiosarcoma, following a splenectomy. Owner: Elinor Posey

Mariad's Gulf Breeze CDX, RE, OA, OAJ - German Short-haired Pointer
	Ripley. Born April 18, 1999, passed July 6, 2015 She was so named because as a new born she was totally white and different from the other pups. She looked like an ‘ALIEN’. She was my first agility dog and I knew nothing about training a running bird dog. But we had our moments and she was fun. She earned her CDX, RE, and a few AX titles. She as most bird dogs was a free spirit and loved to run once out in the field. She is missed very much. Owned and trained by : Nikki Mosley Owner: Nikki Mosley

Asgard's Rowdy Boy CD, NA, NAJ - Alaskan Malamute
	Rowdy - Boy is he ever named correctly. He has been a terror around the house. Rowdy, at the ripe old age of 18 months, loves to ruff-house at a moment's notice and is the most cuddly dog you will meet. He has earned his CGC and currently is in novice class for his CD title. Like his big brother Mozart, Rowdy loves obedience work; well except for sits 'n downs which are just too boring to suit him. Rowdy has also shown an interest in agility. We will see in January 2000 when he goes to his first agility trial. Owner: Jerry Marotta and Mary Jo Marotta

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!

Harvard's Midnight Patrol CDX, RN, NA, NAJ, JH - Labrador Retriever
	Scout. Born January 24, 2003, passed June 29, 2015. He was a one of a kind Labrador, never gave up on a downed bird. Since 9 weeks old, he was in over drive. Fun and frustrating at the same time. He earned his Junior hunter title at 3yrs old. Taught me a lot about what not to do in training a high drive dog in agility. He did love to run in agility, not always the way I was going though. But he did not like training or competing in obedience trials, because it was boring to him. I believe he took the record (or maybe not) in earning a CDX, 25 tries. He needed to be moving fast all the time, could not sit still for the group stays. He is also very much missed. Owned and trained by: Nikki Mosley Owner: Nikki Mosley

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

HOTC obedience and agility classes have given her confidence and helped her personality to blossom into a totally different dog. Owner: Brenda Murray

Stormy CD, RA, AXP, AJP, CGC - Labrador Retriever
	Stormy had been wandering the streets of Athens for many weeks, and was eventually captured by someone who left her tied up inside a shed. A good friend rescued her one "dark and stormy night" and went home with a dog who was literally afraid of everything except other dogs. It was a slow process, but Stormy eventually became comfortable with new people and surroundings. She is currently in an Excellent agility class and she thinks that school is FUN! Stormy also likes to swim, catch fish, and wrestle with her sister, Nyki. Stormy died on 6/07/14. Owner: Patti O'Toole

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

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.

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. Owner: Terri Campbell
