Casey – owned by Melissa Schliefer. Titles: An Extraordinary Dog. Casey was rescued from the Animal Protection League in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 7, 1998, at the age of 3 months. She was an abused puppy and still has a problem with children, but she is working on that. She moved to Arizona 2 years ago and has attended obedience classes, winning awards for being “Top of the Class” for attendance and behavior. Casey loves car rides, pizza, the park, ice cream, her Aunts Tammy and Traci and Melissa’s mom and dad. Casey also loves to sit with mom, Melissa, and watch the Air Force planes come in for landing. We hope to experience more dog shows like this one and make new friends. Casey might not have AKC papers or ribbons, but she is TOP DOG in our home.

I still control the obedience classes on Sunday nights – have had a few juveniles that need to be told and reminded we don’t do those things in class! I’m proud of all the things I’ve earned and now wear a coat to show many of those achievements. Come on, handlers! Won’t you and your four-footed companions join me?

Infinity's Bella Reyna - Sire: WGSDCII CH Moonshadow's Peterbuilt CGC, TDI, TT (OFA) Dam: Royal Heaven's Only Sugar CGC Owner: Teresa LePoris & Paul DeWhitt. Titles: Canine Good Citizen. Bella is a very bright girl and aims to please. She loves attention and is spoiled rotten. She is extremely ball crazy, which drives all of us nuts because she never gets tired of it; she is a non stop ball fetcher. If you refuse to play, she will put her toy in your lap and paw at you or nudge you with her cold nose (great ammo on her part) and whine until you give in. If you hide the toy, she will find another toy for you to throw. The really funny thing is if you try to stop before she is ready to stop, she will just go to someone else with toy in mouth and look at them with that crooked little look we all know about and CAN'T say no to, and the throwing begins all over again. We are thinking about putting her in flyball training. Who knows, maybe you are looking at a future flyball champion!
Infinity's Maximiliano - Sire: WGSDCII CH Moonshadow's Peterbuilt CGC, TDI, TT (OFA) Dam: Royal Heaven's Only Sugar CGC O: Carmen Nieves. Titles :Canine Good Citizen. Max is a wonderful boy. Sometimes he doesn't realize just how big he is, so it's a good thing he has manners and earned his CGC at last year's National. There is a lot I could say about Max, but all I am gonna say is WIN OR LOSE, we all love Max and are proud of the way he has turned out. He is everything we hoped for, or could ever want and more in a male German Shepherd.
