Pep came to me and became the most important part of my dog training life. She always has given me more than any person could ask for. She has excelled where I am average and never thought of doing less. Full of life and always optimistic, her natural athleticism and trainability has lead her to a notable career.
In 1997 she anchored the Sound Breakers Flyball team to the NAFA North West Championship and set and held the Northwest speed record at 17.6 seconds until 2003!!
She then began agility and in a short time held Outstanding Performance titles in NADAC Elite. In 2000 she won the regional qualifier for the USDAA Grand Prix, and competed at the nationals that year. Pep frequently won Masters and Elite classes. I in fact had not reliazed how many classes Pep had won, until I moved to Australia....I had boxes and boxes of blues.
Pep is also a courageous sheep dog, and has taught me so much about working sheep. She has had two outstanding litters of pups. Giving me Lill and Bryte who both bring forward her remarkable traits.
At 12 years Pep competed in ADAA and NADAC masters level classes and still brings home the blues!
She has three generations of offspring surronding her, including her great grand daugther Wink who is very much like Pep.
Pep was the first dog that I competed with and has always shown me the way.
She forever will be with me in heart.
Pep is OFA Good, Eyes clear.
