Mom & I started a new session of obedience classes last night and Lori always starts by telling brags on everyone's accomplishment. Little did mom and I know what was in store for us! Here's what happened - Front & Finish magazine ranks competing dogs by breed, group and class and the Novice A rankings were last month's issue. Several of Lori's students were mentioned and then she says, "and Hayey was the #1 Collie". This was for ALL of 2006 from dogs all over the country! Mom's mouth dropped open and she said "are you "kidding" me"? (well, that's not really what she said but I'm not allowed to type those words! BOL!) She was in total shock! Still is! I'm so excited! I knew we did good in Novice competition but I had no idea!

I should explain the "Colllie" thing so mom and I don't confuse everypup - I'm an ILP dog and both of my parents are Shelties. There must be Collie in background because the AKC approved my ILP application - but as a Collie! I guess between my size and my head they think I'm a Collie..... :0))
