Eric show career started in Tupelo, MS on 5/14/05. Completed his Championship on March 5, 2006 in Pensacola, FL winning BOB over a special.  He had several months off due to Hurricane Katrina.  All  his points were out of the BBX class.  He has several group placements with very limited showing with me;  2 Group 1's; 1 Group 2, 1 Group 3 and 2 Group 4's.

Eric lives up to his name in many ways.  He is a very happy go lucky dog that has fun with all things that he does do.  He carries a heavy coat.  He flows across the ground.  Eric is a moderate size dog who has attitude to boot.   Plans are in the works to compete in agility as he comes along.  Eric is co-owned with Jo Kell of Rockin K Kennel. To see more of Eric visit Jo's site. 

We are super please with what he has produced.  Red Merles with Blue eyes, Red/Black tris will all the trim. Blue Merles who have the attitude. Eric has pass on his attitude and his love of life.  Sound movers who want to please.

7/30/06-Eric had his first herding lesson.  I was pleased with his interest and the "no barking" that he did.  He was carefully at first, but when one of the sheep broke away he turned on and brought it back to the others.  He quickly realized that he could give chase and bring each back to me.  Now to see how the other lessons go as he continues another phase of aussie versatility.   Eric is showing a strong instinct that he can go farther.  I will be his hindrance more than his ability to continue. Pictures from herding lesson and test.  He obtained his HT in 2 Test.  Now on to the next level.

1/1/07 Eric is now on the show circuit with Clint Livingston.  Watch for him in your area or check back for updates as he shows in 2007.

1/1/07 Eric is now owned by several Ladies who are the "Special Investors" for his show career.  This Ladies are not only co-owners but are also the reason that Eric can be out and about with their financial support during this time.
