Training has been and always will be on-going with Hawkeye and I regret that I don't have enough hours in the day to devote to him. Besides being a very smart boy, he's a total clown. Every day he makes us laugh. Hawkeye really enjoys life and it shows. Now that he has finished his CKC championship, we will pursue his ASCA and AKC championships. He is maturing nicely.
Hawkeye was only actively shown the past few months and picked up points, including Breed over specials, at all he attended. Thank you to Donna Bernier for handling Hawkeye to his first point in his first show and heartfelt thanks to Katherina Dueck (http://www.apawsitiveimage.ca/) for her excellent handling classes and her superb handling skills in showing Hawkeye for me this year. Katherina finished him at the Kenora show June 18, 2010 and ended the weekend on 13 points. This was his first show as an Open Male and he showed very well. Hawkeye is now CKC CH JFCoventry's Lock And Load.
In April 2010, we attended the USASA Nationals at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Missouri, near St. Louis. It was a very long drive each way by myself, but I had Hawkeye and Frisk for company. Hawkeye showed well for Rhonda Diercks (Adler Acres Australian Shepherds) in the 15-18 month Sweeps and Phyllis Pierce (Blue Note Australian Shepherds) in the 12-18 month Nationals class. Without their assistance, it would have just been a very long van ride for Hawkeye. So, once again, a huge thank you for all their help and for showing my boy in his first nationals! It was the same for Frisk, with Ayella Grossman of Oracle Australian Shepherds showing her for us. Ayella was so busy showing all of her own dogs, and yet she made time for Frisk – thank you so much.
It was an enjoyable week and I was able to reconnect with old friends - thanks to Diane Saltzman of Dixiana Australian Shepherds for putting up with us for the week! It was great to see Diane after so many years. Of course, with Dixiana in my line, Diane and I have kept in touch over the years, so it was like a homecoming. Diane loved seeing Frisk as it had been 3 years since she flew her up to Donna Bernier and myself. I had the opportunity to see all the greats in action over the week of nationals and it was well worth the 18 hr drive each way. To finally put faces to names, and to see in person those Australian Shepherds that I've only read about – well, it was, as we say, Awesome Aussies!
Hawkeye's next challenge will be our Canadian National Australian Shepherd Association Nationals Sept.1 through 5, 2010, in Saskatoon, SK. Please check out the CNASA website for more details. It will be an exciting, fun filled week of all Aussie activities!
Over the past year, Hawkeye and I have pursued agility foundation training and will be starting obedience classes this summer. I am planning to compete with him in the future but there is so much more to learn before that happens. We are in no rush. When both of us are ready, we'll be out there.
Hawkeye is maturing into a beautiful, solid boy. His foot timing is near perfect and his side gait is flowing and effortless. As long as we can keep his attention and focus, he is clean on the down and back. If he gets distracted, well, there goes perfection! Sigh.... boys!!
