Man Meets Dog
Schutzhund 3 retrieve
I am very proud to have bred and trained this fun and personality-packed dog. She was my best friend and a great teacher and confidant. The only thing she couldn't give me was a litter. She developed pyometra after a surgical insemination and was nearly lost to me. I am so grateful for the many, many years we were given after that scare.
At the UDC Nationals in Seekonk, MA in May of 2002 Shimmer and I entered the Obedience 1 competition just for the fun of once again trialing together. She apparently enjoyed it as much as I did as she really strutted her stuff and ended up taking High Scoring OB1 with 93 points. She certainly didn't look or act her 9+ years!
Shimmer continued her "working" career by entering a new realm as a senior. She was certified by Therapy Dogs, Inc and she was able put her charm, wit and social nature to work with people in various nursing homes, schools and hospitals. She had already proven her natural talent for the work while visiting my elderly mother in a nursing home where she personally made it a point to seek out others she intuitively knew needed her loving and gentle attention. Both her sire and her dam's sire dedicated themselves to this duty as well so it was a natural progression after retirement from more vigorous hobbies.
Shimmer totally content -the center of attention
and with a toy in her mouth. Life is GOOD!
