Magnum is my first Australian Shepherd-and what a first! Thank you to Judy Chard, Breeder, for letting Magnum come into my life. He is a wonderful, smart, sweet and fun dog-I love him dearly!
My main goal for Magnum was agility, but we took a minor detour while training for agility-conformation. If you would have told me I would be trotting around a ring with a dog, I would have laughed at you-but boy are we having fun!
Magnum's accomplishments include:
- Ranked No. 6 in Conformation for 2008-2009
- 2 Premiers at the 2009 Pre-shows at Nationals (one premier 5)
- Earns his ASCA agility gamblers title
- Earns his AKC standard agility title
- Premier at his first Nationals at just 20 months old
- AKC Championship at 14 months old
- ASCA Championship at 12 months old
- Multiple AKC and ASCA Best of Breed and Best Opposite Wins
- Multiple AKC and ASCA Best of Breed Puppy Wins
- AKC Group Placement in AKC Puppy Competition in Palm Springs
Magnum is currently training for agility with Stacy Winkler, www.pawsitiveactiontraining.com He is a brilliant dog with a sweet and sound temperament. I am having a blast with him and love him to death!
