I was there when Rick was born, and I knew he was mine the moment I saw him. His puppy name was "Baby Ray", and he is a ringer for his dad, Raymond. Rick is very sweet and loving, which is a good thing since he was the most destructive puppy I've ever had! If we couldn't find anything, we would just look out in the dog yard, as Rick had probably drug whatever it was out the dog door.
Thankfully he has now grown up, and at age 7 he shows tremendous ability in agility, obedience, and herding. Rick is a multiple High in Trial winner in both obedience and herding, and he finished his Conformation Championship with three majors, a BOS over a special, and a BOB over a special and then on to a Group Four!
Rick is also one of the fastest agility dogs I've ever seen, and I am hopeful he will be my next Quadruple Champion. Rick is a delight to live with, and I am very excited about his future.
