Icee, UD,
MX, AXJ, AAD, EAC-V, EGC-V, OJC-V Icee was the most beautiful dog I had owned. She was my first conformation dog and my first Terv. She was one of Agility's pioneers. She was the first UKC Agility Champion in Florida (at that time, it was called NCDA). In 1995 Icee placed third in the USDAA Nationals in San Antonio, Texas, and also in the three dog Team Relay from Florida. I was so proud of her! In 1996 Icee earned all her Obedience titles, going from CD to UD in four months, earning a Dog World Award for that accomplishment. She had an air about her...her nickname was "Her Royal Majesty", she was noble to the end.

Emmy, CDX, EAC, EGC, OJC, TG-N, WV-O, TN-O WW-CD, WW-RN, TDI Emmy was the first Boxer in the nation to earn the MACH title (AKC) and the ADCH (USDAA) as well as a triple Agility Championship. Emmy was another of the Florida pioneers of Agility. She started out as Frankie's 4-H dog and then became my beloved Agility, Obedience and Tracking Dog. She was the top Agility Dog in the country from 1998 to 2001. Emmy was one of the Alpha Dogs in Animal Planet's Zig & Zag Alpha Dog Challenge, appearing in six of those episodes. For many years we traveled all over the country competing in major tournaments. Her last big tournament was the UKC All Stars at the age of 10, but, most important, she was my best friend and partner.

U-AGII,
Schatze, CD, RN, NAP, NJP, NAJ, NAC, NGC, CGC, TT Boxer owned by Mary and Steve Quinn Shatze was Mary’s first agility dog, and because of Shatze Mary applied her talents to building agility equipment.She was a very expressive dog, and full of attitude. You could tell what Shatze was thinking by her beautiful eyes, and her ears. Mary learned agility from Shatze, who was a very demanding partner. I’ll never forget the day that Mary got lost in the course, and Shatze gave her one of her disgusted looks, laid her ears back, and left the ring, as if saying “I don’t know that lady”. She’s now healthy again, and running with her other buddies that have gone over the bridge. We will all miss you Shatz!

Rosie, UDX, RAE, OA, OAJ Rosie
belonged to a lady in Ocala who gave her to a trainer in Tallahassee so he could
put obedience titles on her. He took her as far as a UD, then she went back to
the owner. By then, the owner was involved with Kerry Blue Terriers and wanted
to place the dog. Becky Babicz bought some sheep from the lady and heard about
Rosie. She told Bette about her and the rest is history. Bette got Rosie at 5
years old. Bette had to show in Utility for IPOC at DOCOF that year (which was
6 weeks away and Rosie was in heat). Bette had only been in the ring in
Novice. Jean Rodoski helped train Bette in Utility 3 weeks before DOCOF
using flash cards and prayer. Rosie went on to earn her UDX, Open Agility and
Rally titles with Bette. The last 8 years of her life were very full of dog
sports and lots of Bette's love.
