News Flash--Leo and Amanda had a great Started Cattle run at the 2010 CWCCA National!
On August 1, 2009 Leo and co-owner Amanda Nickle earned his Herding Championship! That makes Leo the first Cardigan Welsh Corgi AKC Triple Champion in breed history! Way to go our little engine that can...
Leo earned his Master Agility Championship, MACH, at the Wilmington KC agility trial on May 11, 2008! Thanks for a great Mother's Day gift that I will never forget!
Leo and me with judge Kimberly Reeher. Way to go good friend!
Leo is the first champion from his litter, finishing easily at just over 9 months of age with wins including a 5 point major! He has received many compliments from both breeder judges and all-arounders and seems to have something for everyone.

Flash--Leo finishes his Herding Started title on sheep in four straight trials, with a leg to spare. And, he earned two 5th places and a 4th place in large classes! Great job Amanda and Leo!!! Leo is now trying his paw at herding and is proving to be a natural. He earned his HT at his first herding weekend and earned his PT at his second herding weekend and is now in training for his HS. You can tell by the smile on his face when he is in the pen that he just loves to chase those sheep! In fact, Judge C. Pruett got a kick out of Leo and described him as "very energetic" when awarding him the second leg for his HT title.
Leo also began his agility career in 2003. He earned a leg in Novice Jumpers Preferred his first weekend out and we look forward to the start of the spring trials. Flash! Leo earned his Novice Agility Jumpers title at the 2004 CWCCA National with a perfect score and a third place ribbon! Leo has done very well with agility in 2004. He has gone from his first regular novice JWW run in April '04 to Excellent JWW in October '04, while taking the summer off! He has also finished his Novice Standard title, which he began working on toward the end of June '04 and is now working on his Open Standard title.
Leo finishes his AX at the 2005 CWCCA National in Sturbridge, MA with a first place finish at the all breed trial!!! And, about a month later we finished his MXJ!!! From the 2004 CWCCA National to the 2005 CWCCA Nationl, Leo finished six agility titles--NA, NAJ, OA, OAJ, AX, AXJ!!! And to top it off, the second day at the 2005 National, we earned his first MX leg and his first MACH Double Q with 2nd and 3rd place finishes!!!!
Leo Finishes his NAJ at the 2004 CWCCA National!!!
Our little girl takes Winners Bitch and a BBE Group 3 at the Staten Island KC show in June! Flash! Padme finishes her AKC Championship with two 5 point majors at the Virginia Beach shows in October 2004!!!
Padme is proving to be a natural with the sheep. She began working sheep in late spring of 2005, was entered in her first trial in July of 2005 and earned her PT at her first weekend trial, skipping the HT. We have high hopes for this girl in Herding Started!!!
Padme's littermate, Anakin, owned and co-bred by our good friend Laura Minsk of Charlotte, NC finished his Championship in style at Old Dominion on Apil 23, 2005!!!
