Congratulations to Bluegrass Gallaway for his huge ribbon for Advanced Dock Diving.
Ginny's and Durango's son GALLAWAY has earned his first title with North American Diving Dogs. GALLAWAY also does obedience and sheep herding. Congratulations to GALLAWAY!
Earning at our National Specialty Show the title first place in the MOST VERSATILE competition pretty much describes not only a nice, correct, and good looking dog, but a dog who has achieved the highest scores in all types of a variety of events. In 2016 this title was earned by Nancy Schmidt's little girl CATCH BLUEGRASS LIL BIT O LOVE CD BN RE AX AXJ OF CGC TKN. These titles translate to: Companion Dog, Beginner Novice, Rally Novice, Rally Advanced, Rally Excellent, Agility Excellent, Agility Excellent Jumpers, Trick Dog Novice, Canine Good Citizen. What an amazing pair Nancy and Lexi are!!!! We are SO very proud of the two of them and wish them continued good luck in whatever they tackle next. BRAVO!!!

When it was time to retire BLUEGRASS OH-BE-JOYFUL from conformation showing and raising some lovely puppies, our friend Lucinda Schuft was interested in trying her on some dog sports. We agreed that she might really enjoy that. So little JOY, with Lucinda's expertise in training, is not only enjoying some dog sports but has already earned several titles. Now JOY has her CGC, RN, TKN, RATN, FDC, and two NADAC titles which are beginning agility. Congratulations to JOY and Lucinda and thank you for seeing her potential.
