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 is the dam of Ch. Abbey Lane’s Anything Goes and Ch. Abbey Lane’s It Has To Be You.

Cassie COVENTRY'S MINT JULIP CGC,NA,NAJ August 2, 2003 Sire: BISS CH. Abbey Lane’s Ruffing It Dam: CH. Sunrise Lil’ Mis High Society PedigreeCassie is a pistol! What more can I say? She is smart, fast, and determined to run the agility courses her way! She is also a Mickey daughter so she is very pretty! Cassie started training when she was 5 months old. We have gone through puppyhood, the teen years and are now entering early adulthood where she is finally ready to handle competition. And it is starting to be so much fun for both of us. Cassie is the first agility dog I have had that did not leave here to get a conformation title. She has slept on my bed since a baby and we are very bonded. Cassie completed her AKC Novice Jumpers With Weaves (NAJ) title in November 2007. She just attained her Novice Standard (NA)title in May 2008. She has moved up to the Open classes and picked up her first Jumpers leg already. FLASH - Cassie picked up her first CPE Level 2 Jumpers leg later in May during a record 100+ degree heat wave!
