I think this is a very, very good accomplishment. I am sure there are other dogs that could do this if the owners had the time and/or money to do it. However, we now have proved it (as they say in Missouri, show me): A dog that has what it takes to be a Champion, has what it takes to reproduce well (ROM), and has what it takes to get numerous performance titles (PAM) (3 different sports including one advanced title). Is Julie Degen's Ch bitch with a PAM going to be the next one? Also, don't forget the AGSDCF benefit on Oct. 19th: see www.agsdcf.org for order blank, thanks.

Ch. ROM PAM! Ch. Kubistraums Forever Amber ROM PAM TC CDX NA HXd TDI No, Amber is not mine (I own her sire Ch. Falkora JoePye v. Kubistraum); she belongs to Verna Kubik and Virginia Bailey, and is bred by Verna , Kelly Salava and Pam Magadance. But I am one of her greatest admirers and congratulate her owners and breeders, and especially her trainer, Virginia Bailey. Amber and Virginia completed this title (the Novice Agility) today in Wisconsin Rapids despite Virginia herself having pulled a hamstring and barely able to hobble around the ring with Amber! I'm sure Verna will post later when she gets home again and can fill you in on all the details! ..... I surely hope I am right about Amber being the first Ch.
