MACH 2 Lockehill Lady Elizabeth Bronte, "Ellie"

Ch Stonerhaven Samurai x Lockehill Careless Love

Chris sends news on Ellie's 2011 year; " Well, another years has past and our little girl had a great year. Ellie is a healthy happy sheltie who has improve in the Agility ring all year. The result of all our work is her getting her MACH 2 this past weekend. Yes that's right, Ellie's official name is now MACH 2 Lockehill Lady Elisabeth Bronte.  In addition, she has consistently placed top 5, taking some 1st places along the way.  We are very proud of her and are looking forward to this year."

This is fabulous news! When Ellie was a wee baby, she was called "Peanut" because she was so small. She is a litter sister to Sabrina, who is just oversize. Ellie was not able to compete for dinner with her littermates and began to fade. She needed some intensive care so she joined Summer's younger litter at the Hemenway's home and thrived with the younger less agressive pups and with Dan's watchful support. I do not know what I would have done without Dan Hemenway who is the best nurse on the planet!

Jacob has just started training in Agility with his new owners JR & Linda Minazzi. He can be seen on my puppy page with his sister Jolene. A stunning pup, he was supposed to be a conformation champion but the size limit got him. My loss is the Minazzi's gain. I am delighted they chose to go into Agility with him and will be following his progress and posting it here. Jacob like Ellie below are Lovey kids. He will have to buckle down and learn those jumps well to catch his sister Ellie!

Linda Minazzi told me she is finally worked up the courage to start competition with Jacob in March 2012.

Just got word from Lee Ann Viktorn that her Lockehill Southern Charm "Dixie" is also starting agility and has won her first class at her first show. Way to go Lee Ann and Dixie.

Chief and his owner, Diana Gregory, have been learning the sport of agility together. You can see from his string of titles and the smile on his face, he is enjoying "getting the job done". Diana has done wonders with this energetic little boy and he has numerious first place wins under his belt. His small stature and terrific attitude make this team a pair to be reconded with. Watch for Diana and Chief competing in AKC, USDAA, and NADAC venues across Texas.

Lockehill Atwater Alliance AX, AXJ, NF "Shane"

Shane is truly a remarkable Agility dog. Bred by Dan and Allana Hemenway and myself, he started out in conformation winning six Specialty Major RWD and was pointed before going to Trish Millmore of Euro Dog Center to begin his Agility Career. Under his new owner Trish's guidance Shane had five straight first place wins before he took a rail for his first NQ. Shane was well on his way to MACH when he began crashing jumps and it was determined that his eyesight was not good...he is now retired.
