I'm so delighted to introduce U-CDX U-AG1
Newt CDX, HT, JHDs, STDs, HTDs-1. He is my loveable Border Collie. This
dog has brought so much joy into my life. He helped me to win many years
ago the Gaines Good Sportsmanship Award from Dog Owner's Training Club
of Lynchburg. What a total surprise that was since it simply didn't
enter my mind that Newt could ever help me win such an accolade. He
wasn't the best obedience competitor as he is easily distracted. I
believe it was my first Novice A show with him Newt left my side in the
heel offlead to go watch a Miniature Schnauzer do the Utility go out
jumps. LOL Another time he sat up on the long down because people were
clapping for the winners in the next ring. Newt sat there barking his
head off. I felt so embarrassed. However, I never gave up on him despite
his silly antics. I kept a firm, but happy resolve to put some titles on
my first Border Collie. And so I did. Here's Newt for anyone who might
be curious about what he looks like.
Newt has one hind leg that is held
together with two Titanium plates and screws.
Newt is pictured here at age 12 1/2 yrs.
old.
