BREEDER’S COMMENTS BY MICHELLE BIRCHARD 

 

Sting is well built with lovely angles and a long graceful neck. I showed and groomed him for 4 years. He was a UKC champion at 18 months, with a Best in Show. In AKC, he received 7 points owner handled, 2 points with a good friend Sherry Flynn, and his 2 majors were handled by Kaz Hosaka in 3 shows. In one of these shows, he was Best of Breed and 2nd in group.

 

Sting is happy, and loves to visit. He is obedient, has a calm temperament, and is easy to live with. He has done therapy work and is very intuitive. He loves running agility and catching the ball or frisbee. He also loves to herd sheep and passes this on. He has 2 puppies that have been tested and herd as well. His all time favorite activity is cuddling on the couch.

 

Sting lives in my house with me and my husband and 3 children and 3 other dogs (and occasional boarders). He has been with us since he was 9 weeks old, and he will spend his entire life with us. In addition to being a champion, he is our pet and a much loved member of our family.
