Performance
CH. QUASAR'S DATELINE NA, NAJ, CGC August 13, 1998 Sire: CH. Abbey Lane’s Steamboat Willie Dam: Quasar’s Desert Mirage  PedigreeKatie and I set a goal – to compete at the first American Spaniel Club agility trial in San Antonio. Katie was not particularly athletic. She is my little princess. She wasn’t super fast. But she was amazingly exact and accurate in agility. Her first run in competition she had a perfect score and first place. There were more like that and she finished her novice titles in two weekends. Katie placed second in Novice in San Antonio. She also went into the breed ring and as a four-year old special, was the oldest bitch in the ring. She did not win anything from ASC that day, but she won my heart for getting out there and trying it one more time. Whenever there is a first dog in anything, they are the ones that teach you so much that you need to know. Katie set a standard for her ability to learn agility work that none of my other dogs have been able to match. I didn’t realize how special she was until I started to train others. Katie left us in September 2008 and I miss her every day. Katie is the dam of Ch. Abbey Lane’s Anything Goes and Ch. Abbey Lane’s It Has To Be You.
