Performance 2
Chadwick Sound of Silence MX, MXJ, known better to her friends as Nellie the
Wonder Dog, is a match made in heaven with Sherry Holm. Nellie's
mother, Sprite, owned by Sherry's daughter, Bethany, had a litter of puppies
and from a very young age Sherry and Nellie bonded. "No more dogs" was
the constant proclamation by Sherry and so Nellie spent time with us and all
the Chadwicks. From time to time Nellie re-visited Sprite and finally
Sherry just could not part with her any more so the proclamation somehow got
adjusted to "No more dogs -- except for Nellie!"
Nellie's love in life is hunting out in the woods. You can take a dog
to the woods to hunt but you can't take the woods to the agility field as a
reward for running agility! As much as Nellie enjoys treats, she would
always have preferred to go hunting so motivating her to fun fast and clean
in agility was a challenge that both Sherry and Nellie succeeded in.
She is a thief extraordinaire, with the ability to steal food off a table
and return to her bed in the blink of an eye, not a crumb on the floor, not
a lick of her lips which would show that she was the culprit who stole the
food -- yet the food was gone! Nellie takes great delight at agility
trials rummaging in people's bags looking for treats so Sherry taught her
that if she brought the stolen goods to Sherry, she would get a piece out of
the bag. Good thing or Nellie would now be obese with the many, many
bags of food that has stolen over the years.
Phipps gallops down the dogwalk, aiming for those illusive
contacts. She runs agility as a team with her owner, Bethany Holm, and
sometimes, when Bethany's mother steals her away, she will run with Sherry
Holm as well!
