Every now and then we choose a "Cover Dog" for our site. When we have a dog that achieves a Championship, performance title, some other major achievement, or is just SPECIAL in some way, we will provide an "attaboy" that explains what makes that week"s "Cover Dog" so great. If you are a member of GGPWCF, and you have a dog that deserves some special recognition, please e-mail our GGPWCF Webmaster, and we will tell you what we need to post your dog's information. This month we have returnees: meet Cash, Oscar and Chance and read about their latest accomplishments - all owned, trained, shown and loved by members Janet and Tony Hung. To see the previous cover dogs, please click here.
Jade Tree Penway Keep The Change, RAE, PT, CGC
(CH Larchmonts Dream Dust x Jade Tree Penway The Bee Keeper)
Cash earned his AKC PT in May 2007, and also earned his Started level Sheep (STDs) title in a herding trial by ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of Amercia) July 2007, at Vacaville, quite a challenging trial compared to AKC's because scoring is tough and they prefer Aussies. Not only did he qualify both days, but got 2nd and 3rd placements in his class of 11, competing against all-breed dogs. He was the only Corgi to qualify and get placed both days.
UPDATE: On 12/9/07 Cash got his 2nd leg for the weekend's AHBA (Am. Herding Breed Assn) Herding Ranch Dog Level I sheep title, with 2nd placement, before a Bordie Collie and a working Kelpie! Cash is now promoted to the Ranch Dog status, beyond his JHD (Junior Herding Dog) level earned this July. Normally only Border Collies or herding breeds who work regularly in a ranch compete in this type of course but Cash did it! This makes CFO+Cash team's commendable record of Q'ing in every single test/trial in Rally and Herding they have run. In 2007, Cash's 6 herding trial legs in all three herding associations (AKC, AHBA, ASCA) sheep runs have all been earned with placements in these all breed events!! We don't know about the future but if they have found their niche, they will learn well and enjoy the sport in the next few years.
Pat Jensen would have been very proud of his Larchmont structure and temperament.
2007 update: Cash earned his RAE title in 20 straight runs and 2 qualifying scores with placements towards his Herding Started Sheep Title
in 2007 he also earned AHBA Herding Ranch Dog I and ASCA Started Sheep Title

Owners: Janet and Tony Hung
Breeders: Janice E. Edwards and Joan Gibson Reid
Also.... Oscar, now PT and AHBA Junior Herding Dog!
Oscar both days went 3 pts short of Q'ing but his speed attracted much attention and spectators said never seen a corgi that quick. His issue will be to SLOW down, a challenge for Tony to train in the next couple years.
and last but not least,
Chance gets BOS at Richmond Aug 4, 2007
