Carrie has been a dream come true for me. Well, mostly, she has her moments. Overall though, Carrie gave me a wonderful start in the conformation ring, we did better than I had ever thought possible. After conformation, Carrie and I worked hard and trained harder to get ready for agility. We entered our first trial when she was only 3 and completely bombed. After realizing there were some holes in our foundation, we took a year or so off to fix it. In the past couple of years she has really come together as a great agility dog. She is just all business. After the first run of the day, she knows where the rings are and she will pull me to the ring. We don't always Q, but we always have a great time.

Carrie is not without her quirks though. In her mind, I am the only person alive. She likes everyone, especially kids, but if someone calls her name, she always thinks it was me, and comes running. She can be hard headed and, at times, has a one-track mind, but thats just her being a cattle dog.

Carrie really is a solid-temperamented dog. She gets along with most other dogs as long as she isn't in a cramped space. She's good in the car, and will ride well in or out of the crate. She will sleep in the front seat while I run into the store or go through the drive-thru. She did recently figure out how to roll the windows down in the back seat. I looked back and saw her head poking out of the window. :)

Carrie whelped one litter by c-section. This was the litter that produced our "Rumor". She is now spayed.

At just eight months old, Carrie won her first major by going Group One at a large all breed show.

This is Carrie's Group 1 picture at 8 months old. This win ranked her Number 13, and she wasn't even finished at the time.

She continued to rack up the points and her other wins include:
BOB and Group 4 to finish.
