Herding Dogs


MACH Sunnyvale Sir Austin Healey CGC - Shetland Sheepdog
	Austin was born July 24, 2004. What a joy to be owned by this little guy. He shows all the Sheltie traits intensely loyal and affectionate to his owner and yet he's reserved toward strangers. He's extremely playful at 2 years of age and each day is such a blessing to be able to work and train with him. He's taught us a lot about patience and consistency and, most importantly, to have fun. Hes got that Sheltie work ethic and a passion towards agility that we hope transfers over to obedience, rally and herding. Thank you Beki Vale for allowing us to own this very special guy and to make him a part of our family! Owners: Chuck Park and Karen Park

Windermere's Tale of a Twister - Cardigan Welsh Corgi
	Tayler is a playful and loving dog. She is our resident clown and can always find a way to make our family laugh. When she is not getting into something, she loves to play Tag with Dixie, my other Cardigan. If the game should begin in the house, it is sure to knock over lamps and flip over chairs. Tayler conforms closely to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi standard. At her first show, she took Best Puppy in Sweepstakes out of a large class of 15. Owner: Heidi Spradling
