Sadie is the dog that started it all! She's absolutely the sweetest dog I've ever met, and is an amazing ambassador for our breed. She promptly greets visitors with a fast tongue and warm heart, eagerly shows off her newest trick, then takes her place on the couch, head in lap. Sadie can often be found playing with the family cat! Sadie was 5 years old, when she BEGAN her obedience career. She learned quickly, and after just a few months of training, she earned High-in-Trial honors at the 2000 National Specialty in Gray Summit, MO. By year's end, Sadie was ranked #3 Obedience AmStaff in the country, with very limited showing! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Sadie entered retirement in the spring of 2001. She is now holding down the job of couch potato. She has adapted well to her role of spoiled rotten brat. Sadie holds a very special place in our hearts, and always will!!
