New Mac Story

Hi!
This morning out at Parkland we were getting ready to

start our track when a van drove up, Lisa (Mac’s Home

Companion  teacher) got out, and asked us what was up.

 She was out there to do tracks with her border

collies.  Mac, of course, went over to visit, stood up

on the back feet, and kissed her.  So, her only

question:  “Are you sure you have a GSD?”
Of course, that is exactly what he did yesterday when

he encountered the Trial Chair after he came out of

the ring.  And he did get a lot of comments for being beautiful.

New Title Story

Forgot to tell you the best detail from one show.

That time Mac forged more than usual on heeling, sat

out ahead of me, and, on the recall, came charging in,

barked, flew around me for the finish, etc.  At the

end Nancy Withers just looked at me, total deadpan,

and said, “Next time you need to get a dog with more

drive.”

NEW TITLE!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Ann and Mack did it!  A new AKC CD.  Ann was very sneaky about this and didn’t say a word until the title was in the bag.  I can’t wait to read her stories as I am sure the trip to
getting Mack’s CD was….a colorful!

I am so proud of you Ann and of course you too Mack!
