CeCe

CeCe powers over a jump - January 2008

CeCe began life October 2005 in a litter of show bred Aussies from two long lines of championship dogs.  She began showing (and winning) at an early age.

We first met CeCe when she was 18 months old and took her home that same afternoon.  We immediately knew this dog was the pet we were seeking.  She quickly became a part of the family.

Although meant as Terry's dog, CeCe has bonded with the entire family.  I train and exercise with her daily, but she can't wait to greet Dona when we get home from work.  Extended family members and guests are welcomed with equal enthusiasm.  Anybody with food or a few minutes for a game of tug is her friend.

Like most Aussies CeCe is a busy girl.  We do our best to provide her with structure, routine and exercise.  In addition to her Flyball training she attends weekly classes in Obedience and Agility.  We hope to be competing in those venues in the summer of 2008.  Although Conformation is not a high priority for us, we intend to keep showing CeCe in the ASCA altered class until she has her championship.  CeCe also accompanies me on home visits for Aussie Rescue and Placement Helpline (ARPH) as a breed representative.  She has done very well with the cats and children we have encountered.  CeCe earned her AKC CGC (Canine Good Citizen) in June of 2007.

 CeCe will be competing in her first Flyball tournament in late February 2008.  She still has some "passing" problems but she improves with each weeks practice.

UPDATE: "CeCe had a nearly perfect debut, running in half the races each day with few mistakes, earning her FD and FDX, and turning in a 4.83 on Sunday."

UPDATE: April 7, 2008; CeCe did very well with the jump height change, although she was too excited at times to hold her ball all the way back, and she earned her FDCh on Sunday

UPDATE: April 12, 2008; CeCe took her first leg in Novice Obedience (ASCA) with a score of 181.5.  Best of Class to boot.

UPDATE: April 26, 2008, Canby OR, dirt;-CeCe settled down nicely in this tournament, running solidly in the mid 5-second range over the big jumps and earning her FDCh-S title on Sunday

UPDATE: September 13-14, 2008;  "Bare Bones U-Fli Tourney, Cloverdale, B.C.  CeCe had a beautiful U-FLI debut, earning her Top Flight through TF-III titles and running a personal best of 4.58 on Sunday.
