owned by Marcy Mantell
Wave is Billy x Abby. She is one of 8 from a very dynamic breeding. Most of the kids from this breeding are extremely fast, athletic and light on their feet, with a stride that lends itself to a perfect running A frame and very competitive times. Marcy and Wave have worked diligently in herding, agility and obedience. At barely 4 years of age this team has been burning it up nationally. Marcy and Wave won the 12 inch challenger round at the AKC national championship, and went on to finals round placing 2nd overall for 2007. This was their first trip to the championship! Marcy and Wave will try out for the world agility team in May, 2007. We will be cheering their efforts. In addition to agility, this pair has done obedience and herding. At just 10 months wave earned her HT on ducks. She also earned her CD as a youngster. In adition to their athletic feats, Marcy and Wave are credited with coining the a-licious name for the sheltieranch kids, many of whom now adorn this honor. Soooooo...Marcy and Wave-a-licious. ..we are enthusiastically watching you two and cheering you on!
