Ally is pictured at the 2007 ABTC National going 3rd in Veteran sweeps. She also took 2nd in a very competitive Veteran bitch class. I am so very proud of her.

Sometimes you find the dog who makes all of your dreams come true...

And sometimes, you find the dog who makes you laugh, cry, scream, throw things, swear you're going to quit, and turns your world upside down -- and ultimately makes you grow as an individual. Ally is my first Tervuren, and she was quite the introduction to the breed. Our time together has been filled with a lot of laughter and a lot of tears. Ally is my working partner and she takes it upon herself to keep me humble.


 

 Ally, early 2007 at the age of 8.

Right now, we're working in obedience towards Ally's CDX. I hope to have Ally out tracking this summer and fall when tracking classes start up.

 


 

Herding was never our "thing", unfortunately. We put a lot of time and effort into herding, but a rocky start and weak foundation took its toll on our herding partnership. Ally's natural abilities lend her towards being a quiet dog with good but not unnecessary presence. Any natural stop or balance was blown out of her with initial training, so I cannot wager a guess on the type of dog Ally should have been. Ally learned at a young age she could be in control, and never quite wanted to relinquish that control when it came to herding. Nevertheless, we finished our PT as a team, but never quite made it through the Started class.

 


 

Ally doing what she loves best -- agility!!!

She can run a 5+ yps jumpers course when her handler doesn't botch something.... After a rough start in training, we eventually developed a seamless teamwork. She and I had a fluid partnership, and I miss trialing her very much. Our teamwork developed late in life, but the memories, experiences, and amazing runs vividly remain etched in my heart.
