Just had to share -- Erynbrook's They Call Me Mimi (Sel. Ch. Cathlin's Tobruk PT x Erynbrook's Black Diamond CGC, HIC, RN)completed her Rally Novice title this past weekend at the Rio Grande Kennel Club. Mimi is owned by fellow lister Karen Paone who has proven to be the owner every breeder wishes they could find. Karen does everything with Mimi, obedience, rally, herding, not sure if she has taken on tracking yet. She has given Mimi a great (spoiled rotten) life while making sure that Mimi has a "job" and gets to experience the fun things that our dogs can and love to do. Meanwhile a little closer to home Erynbrook's Criminal Mischief aka "Bill" (Ch. Schneiderhof's Law and Order x Lonestar Erynbrook Fatal Attraction), who will be 2 this month, has been busy at the local library letting kids read aloud to him in the Paws to Read program. He's been doing this since he was 8 months old and all the kids love him. He's a great ambassador for our breed as most parents are accustomed to seeing Golden Retrievers and the like and are very surprised to see a GSD being so good with kids. When he wasn't encouraging youngsters to read, Bill was busy getting certified to visit patients in the hospital. He dressed up as Superman last Halloween and was a big hit. He now visits all floors in the hospital and has his own hospital I.D. His owner Barbara Roberts is now introducing him to some Rally, Obedience and non-stress (no jumping, etc) Agility. This may not be our year in conformation (waiting for kids to mature), but we are tickled pink to see these kids doing so many other things!
