There aren't words to express how wonderful and talented she is.

And what more can we say about her father,
CH Jenaid Thief of Hearts CDX CGC?
Thief earned his ROM in 2006. He and his sire, Merlin are one of the few father/son pairs to do so.
Taz's mother, Samantha, earned an AOM at the BCSA Specialty in 1999! She is recognized as a Noteworthy Dam by BCSA.

Tandy is everything we wanted when we planned
Taz's second and final litter. We could not be more pleased!
In 2012, Tandy will be playing Agility and
practicing her herding skills.
"Tandy is a true delight!
She's always happy and friendly and ready to go.
A quick learner, she makes her own fun along the way."
"Tandy's pedigree is full of titled performance dogs, and she will make them proud!"
You can tell by her expression that Taz takes Agility very seriously!
In January 2009, she earned her MACh in St Louis.
On Mother's Day weekend 2010, Taz earned her MACh 2 in Omaha.
In March 2011, Taz wins MACh 3 in Des Moines!
Any success we achieve in Agility is due in large part to Connie Apling,
our instructor. We are sincerely appreciative of her encouragement and support.

Tango made her Agility debut in Spring 2009, but took the summer off to raise six beautiful "Tangaroo's"!
Below is a photo taken about three weeks before
her babies were born.
The basket was a "thinking of you" gift from good friends.
Tango is our "Sugar n' Spice " girl.
She has a sweet and loving nature...
...With a dash of competitiveness thrown in!
Our sincere appreciation to Carol and Ed for sending Taz to us. She has changed our lives!
Congratulations Taz!
8 for 8

February 17-20, 2011!
In 2012, Taz will continue to play Agility.
As long as she shows passion for it, and stays healthy,
her goal is to have fun doing what she loves.
In 2012, Tango will be honing her herding skills,
playing Agility...And, maybe having her second and final litter this summer!

TAZ's talent and beauty are no surprise as her
Great Grandfather, Chess and Grandfather, Merlin
are both AUST/AM Champions. They quickly made
an impact on the show scene with Merlin winning
WD and BOW; and Chess winning RWD at their
first show in the USA: The BCSA Nationals.
Merlin went on to win BOB at Westminster.
