incredible job of living up to that
task!  To learn more about Maverick
and why he was such a special
creature, please visit his site at the
Rainbow Bridge.

Just a couple cute candids of
Legend as a pup - swimming is still a
favorite pastime of his!  
Legend FINALLY finishes his AKC Championship
at the Los Lunas, NM shows in October 2009.  
A huge thanks to Perry Payson for taking him in
for his Open class (I was thrilled to be able to
handle Legend in the Winners class and to his
Best of Winners award that gave him the last
major he needed!)!  It's been a VERY long
road...Legend turned seven years old in
February 2010 -- but I've learned a LOT over
the past six years...and I'm so thankful to
Legend for putting up with me for SO many
years of dog shows!  Now, I'm looking forward
to stepping back out into the ring at
Specialties with him as a Veteran!
Agility was the one sport that I thought I would skip -- too much
practice, too much risk of injury, and too much time -- well, a friend of
mine convinced me otherwise and suggested that I enter Legend in his
first (and my first!) agility trial in September 2009 - we had only
taken a couple private lessons before the trial, but came away with 3
out of 4 qualifying runs and a Novice Jumpers Preferred Title -- and I
was hooked!  Legend LOVES agility and has since completed his
Excellent Jumpers Preferred Title, and his Excellent Standard
Preferred Title - we're still working on his masters titles...and
perhaps we'll earn some PACH points and double QQs too!  I'm so
happy to be able to spend his senior years with him competing in
something that he really loves!
