Had a great LONG week of agility!  Georgia and I went down to Vero Beach, FL for a 3-day camp with Jenn Crank, Jen Pinder and Ann Braue.  It was tough but I LOVED working with each one of them.  Then to Tallahassee where we only ran two days - one in puddles of rain and the other was a gorgeous day and Georgia got a QQ and double blue! :)  Exhausted, but happy to be back home.
Up in north Georgia at a disc event, Hope caught her first disc in competition!  And Thunder qualified for the Worlds in Pairs D/A!

October 13

Agility weekend!
In Atlanta:  We have another new MACH!  Big congrats to Katy and Remedy on their MACH title!  And that is after just turning 3 years old and just coming off of several months of puppy-duty!  Awesome!
In the northeast: Alisa and Brandy get a really nice QQ towards her MACH2 after being away from agility for a long time!  And baby Quincy missed q's barely by just one bar but did q in the ribbons in the FAST class and T2B!
In California:  The Bailey crew had a great weekend of agility as well with Guinness and Jace and the The Divine Miss M!  G-man won his Excellent JWW class!
In Florida:  Georgia and I went south and had a nice weekend with multiple blue ribbons!  She got 77 points in just 2 std and 1 jww q's and had the fastest time of all heights 16-26" (I didn't think to check 12" and below).  Very proud of her for having ZERO practice except for the trials we attend here and there which serve as her "practice" and training.  Only needs one more leg for her MX.  New Georgia agility pictures on her page.
New picture of Brandy and Quincy:


And Johnny gets a group 2 in his conformation match - good job you two!

Jody and Spring went to CanAm for the NAFA Flyball nationals and won two firsts and a second place!  Jody also writes that she won third internationally in her freestyle dance routine!  Congrats you two!!!

Tinna and Levy, OA title!  And how could I forget, but Cirque got his MX!  Congrats, Lynn!!!  Also.... Vetgen tells me that Georgia does carry gold :)

Another BUSY weekend!  On Friday, Georgia won first in her Master's std class at the agility trial in Gainesville, GA!  Barely missed the QQ with one off course :(  On Saturday we went to a Skyhoundz Discdogathon (DDAT) qualifier in Dahlonega, GA where there were over 60 competitive teams in most events.  Mark and Thunder won the Freestyle event for a Q to the 2014 World Finals. Baby Clementine and I were so close to winning but came in second (only first placers in the DDAT events get the Q for the 2014 World Finals) and barely missed getting the Q in the Spot Landing event.  Mark and Clementine came in third in the Time Trial event and Dean and Remedy came in second in Time Trial!  Remedy and Dean also came in third in Spot Landing!  In the Pairs Distance and Accuracy event, Mark and I threw to the dogs and Georgia came in first for her second event Q for 2014 Worlds, and Thunder came in second (sorry for that bad throw from me, Tunny!)  Fun weekend with the pups!

Congrats Becky and Vamp!!! Another HIT and two firsts in Open B obedience!  Also, watch Scorch and Stephen demonstrating for AKC's Woofipedia!:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_3ceZ9mSrk&list=UU-XByv4YD6jzp-c1bNCPJjw 

Lara and Ten finished his RAE title with FOUR high-combined awards!!!

New addition, Mattie! :)

Wow, what an incredible first weekend of the new disc-dog season, right after last week's 2013 World Finals!
On Friday, Thunder and I won the Women's Unlimited Xtreme distance to qualify for the 2014 World Finals!
On Saturday was the first annual Georgia State Disc Dog Championships (Skyhoundz).  Mark and Thunder won the GA State Championship in Freestyle plus D/A and then Runner up State Champ in the separate Distance/Accuracy-only event.  And Remedy and Dean won the GA State Championship in the D/A event!  And Georgia and I won the GA State Championship NEW event, the long distance skip throw!  So Savannah's kids from 3 different litters are GEORGIA STATE DISC DOG CHAMPIONS and swept the expert events :)  So proud of them!  Also Clementine got third place in Novice D/A but her BIG win was on Sunday in Pairs D/A with Mark and myself coming in second place!  Not bad for just turning 8 months and very very little practice!  Also in Sunday's Discdogathon,  Georgia and Mark won the Time Trial event to get the Q for the 2014 World Finals!  Also, Remedy and Dean came in 2nd in Time Trial (again, so happy for Savannah's speedy-fast kids this weekend!)  Remedy also won the Bullseye event for a Q also to the 2014 World Finals and third in Spot-Landing.  There were many more placements and awards but these were the big highlights for me as their breeder - so proud :)  To think back when Mark got Irish, how he was harassed that "Barbie Collies" wouldn't be good at disc events.  Hmmm :)  Speaking of that, up in the Northeast also this weekend, Alisa and Brandy won the Freestyle event after a tie and tie-breaker!  She also won the Bullseye event for qualification also to the 2014 World Finals! WAY TO GO!!!

September 13

Greta x Zony pups just turned 7 weeks, new pics here!

Thunder is now a World Champion in disc dogging!!!  What an incredible past week of canine frisbee at the Skyhoundz World Finals in Chattanooga, TN!  Georgia, Clementine, Te'o, Irish and Remedy also had great performances!
Thunder also almost won a SECOND World Championship in another event but just barely lost by one throw in a tie-breaker.  Also, Georgia just BARELY missed the title of World Champion by literally ONE foot.  The throw/catch that beat her for first place in the Men's Classic Xtreme Distance was one foot further!  Georgia had a great and busy week with 3 different people throwing to her and lots of nice placements.  And Clementine's (7 month old pup) best performance of the weekend was in Friday's Expert D/A Last Chance Qualifier - she placed 15th out of 107 teams!  For the DDAT last chance qualifier on Tuesday, Holther BCs racked up 8 more world champ qualifications!  Baby Te'o pulled out some great q's in many events and a great Freestyle round for DDAT qualifier and also on Friday's D/A qualifier.  Irish had a great round of freestyle and came in 4th on Tuesday as well!  Remedy and Dean came in 4th in a tight competitive Time Trial event, less than a second separating the top 5 - not too shabby for only being back home for a couple of days and after having been on mama-duty for the last few months!  Brandy and Quincy did very well considering Brandy's recent back injury and Quincy just being a baby - WOW what potential she has!!!  And what a fun routine!  Very excited about her future with Alisa!  It was great to meet so many new people and put more faces with names with folks from other countries.  Some surprise visitors too, what a fun weekend!  And it was GREAT for the puppies to get all that socialization and also it was nice for Heather to be able to be there to watch too!  Also some ups and downs only make us all stronger and closer.  Love my HBC peeps :)  Also want to thank Tim Geib and Preston Dean for throwing to our HBCs too!

Remedy and Thunder's puppies, Maggie and Hope, have gone to their new homes - Congrats Frank H and the Muir family!

6 week old Remedy x Thunder pup pics!  Also,  4 weeks old Greta pup pics! 

Wow, what a week, where to begin?!  I went to the BCSA National Specialty at Purina Farms in MO.  A few other HBCs went as well and all did very well!  The big award was Ten  and Lara going HIGH IN TRIAL!  So very happy for them and their accomplishments.  Ten  also won second place in conformation in the working dog class (BCs with performance or working titles).  There were other ribbons but I cannot keep track!
Baby Ditto and Bev came and did his herding instinct and passed with flying colors!  It was great to get to see them.  Snitch earned her HT title with Mary!  They are both showing great promise on sheep!
I only competed with one dog in conformation and it was in the puppy sweepstakes event.  Miss Tilly Tilda took second place in her class which was a very competitive bigger class.  I was disappointed that several of my pups were not able to make it to the nationals after-all this year.  Maybe next year.....
I also competed with Georgia and Remedy in agility.  Remedy ALMOST got her MACH, but one tiny error on my part prevented it.  She did win first place in her standard run that day!  On the last day of agility, Georgia gave me her first QQ with second and third placements and I couldn't be happier :)  Lots more to update/comment on a bit later regarding the nationals on the BLOG page....  But for now, I must play with puppies, I missed them terribly!!!

Also!  This past weekend Mark performed with his dogs for the pre-game and halftime of the Citadel's football game!  Wish I had been able to go, what a great show!  And Tinna and Levy got their OAJ title with a first place and also another first place in open standard!  Congrats!!!

Remedy has her puppies 7/30/13

Becky and Vamp had a GREAT UKC obedience show going High Combined!

Great disc day (dawn until dark!)  Had fun letting Georgia play some disc at the Skyhoundz Discdogathon!   This was only her second disc event and we never play disc at home (too scared she will get hurt!) so I am really proud of her!  Mark played with Georgia for me and came in third in pairs Distance and Accuracy, then he WON Time Trial and Extreme Distance with her, qualifying her for the World Championships in September!  She and I came in third in two women's long distance events as well, and we had nice standings in Bullseye and Time Trial too.  Mark also did very well with Thunder and Te'o, lots of plaques for him to add to his collection!  Fun and LONG Saturday!

Huge congrats Paula and Ela on their open agility title with a second place!  Tinna and  Miss Levy win another first place in standard!  Also, Idgie and Mary got 2 more QQ's with multiple blue ribbons in Masters!  First time running agility for myself and Georgia in 2 months this weekend.  Was only able to participate in 3 runs in Perry, then had to go home, but she did get a Q and won second place in masters jww among a large class of good competition.  Love my crazy baby dog!

Congrats Tinna and Levy on a 1st place in Nov Std!  Congrats also to Lara and Ten who earned his RE title!  Congrats Paula and Ela on the Excellent FAST title with a first place!  Also, the Greta is confirmed pregnant!  

June 13

This last weekend in June was a great one!  It started out by finding out that Ryder is the BC in the blockbuster Superman movie - Man of Steel.  I snapped a screen shot from the film, below.  Then, Tilly had a great show in Richmond, VA and won a 4 point major and a 3 point major!  The judge on Saturday liked her so much, he gave her Best of Breed (from the 9-12 month old puppy class) over a BIS winning, Westminster winner, top ranked BC.
Also, up north Lara and Ten go High in Trial again!  I've lost count now of how many they have - congrats!  Mark and his dogs had a great weekend in disc in Roanoke, VA.  And Alisa with Brandy and Quincy  had some great disc shows in MD and Quincy got to try her paw at dock diving and did great!  And Jace and Joe won a first place in novice agility!  Also found out Sunday night that Remedy IS pregnant!  So happy for all this great news!  Some great new pictures/page updates - Jace the cover dog for Vectra 3D!, Theory, Irish, Hawk, Snitch, Quincy,

We are going to terribly miss him, but we feel this is the best opportunity for him and hopefully in the future he will be suitable for us to use at stud here at Holther.

Sept 12

Irish - on the Borderlines cover

I had a really nice time with the Muir family and Alisa in Chattanooga this past weekend at the 2012 Skyhoundz World Championships!  Alisa and Brandy had incredible disc routines and finished 16th overall in a highly competitive field.  I was so proud of them!  Enjoyed seeing Quincy too, what a pup she is going to be!  Mark with Irish and Thunder had a GREAT weekend...just a few highlights:   After two rounds of the finals for Distance and Accuracy, Mark was in first place with Thunder.  Unfortunately, the wind was not very friendly in the third round and Thunder tied with two other dogs for third place.  But it was still incredible considering Mark's knee surgery not even 2 weeks ago and Thunder is only 2 years old and hasn't been able to practice much at all with Mark.  Irish and Mark won the Men's Light Plastic Extreme Distance Qualifier on Wednesday, and Stacey and Mark won the Pairs D &A qualifier with Thunder!.  Also, Mark's friends who are visiting from Argentina played with Thunder and Irish and did incredibly well.  Esteban WON the Novice division with Thunder!  

Paula and Ela received their NF title with two first placements!

New Greta-pup pics here and new Idgie-pup pics here.  Also, the new puppy got to go on her first trip to the beach - Click HERE!

Remedy - OFA Good and Elbows normal :)  

New addition (no name yet) here at Holther :)  A very special girl had her last litter and I just had to have one.  Hopefully, this pup will love her life in the USA and will possibly make a great addition to our lines here in the future!  Also click the reunion link above, some reunion updates.  PLEASE MAIL IN YOUR SHEET TO STACEY SOON.  We need t-shirt sizes, so we can order the shirts.

Greta and Tirade's pup, "Spring" just got her FS, her first title, in flyball!

NEW puppy pictures!  Idgie's HERE,and  Greta's HERE.

September 1, 2012 (in the wee-hours), Idgie's babies are born early.  CLICK HERE for that litter page (updates soon).  Unfortunately, the two female puppies were still-born.  We are very sad by this, but thankfully the three beautiful boys are doing great.  For those who were counting on a female puppy, we are so very disappointed for you as well.  Savannah and Remedy will hopefully be bred later this month. Remedy just arrived and just had her final health clearances done (hips and elbows look good, and have been sent off), CERF normal.  Please email me for sire info for these two litters.  Priority will be given to those who have already been waiting.

Aug 12

Found out a couple of our dogs will be in this! http://www.nbc.com/animal-practice/photos//behind-the-scenes-pilot/11418#item=253675  

New pups born, click here!

Ten gets his NA title, all with first placements!  Congrats Lara and Ten!!!

Great weekend of disc dogging at the Skyhoundz event put on at the Muir's!  Dean (Katy's fiance) with Remedy won second place in Bullseye!  She also did really well for her first time competing in freestyle.  Mark and Stacey with Irish had a nice second place finish in Pairs Distance and Accuracy.  I also got to judge freestyle for the first time as one of the 4 judges, which was fun.  Later in the day, Will and I had fun playing a couple of games (it's been a while) and Georgia would have too, but she had to rest since she had a little too much fun the day prior playing in and around Mark's pool!  Got some reunion planning accomplished with Stacey so it was a great weekend.  Although at home while I was gone, the lightening from a storm got the DSL line, the wifi modem, the well, the refrigerator, some breakers and surge protectors on the pool pump, the DISH satellite and all the individual Dish boxes and all the lines running to them.  BOO!  I think it is time to see about lightening rods or some kind of lightening protection.  4 major incidents in the last year :(  Also while I was up there,  I picked up a visitor from the ATL airport....  probably Savannah's next mate to be... ;) He's a handsome dark gold boy.

Wow, what a fun and successful weekend in Concord, NC!  So proud of all the dogs and their owners.  Alisa with Brandy and Lynn with Cirque ended up having multiple placements in a very competitive 16" class.  Brandy also earned some more QQ's!  Paula and Ela got their NA title and multiple 2nd placements.  I had a great time visiting also with pups Quincy and Snitch, as well as a visit from Melissa & Bob with Alice and Biddy!

Ten wins 1st in both of his classes at his very first agility trial!  Miranda gets her NA title and Halle gets her NAJ title.  Congrats, Savannah is proud of her kids. Also, Brandy gets QQ #8 - congrats!

I'm a little behind on NEWS so if I forgot something please email me.  Went to Perry to visit some friends and was able to see a Greta x Tirade pup, Spring, for the first time since she left at 8 weeks (she is a year now).  Happy Birthday to that litter!
Melissa and Biddy got a third place Rally leg at her very first trial.  Also Alice received two beginner novice legs.  Congrats!

The puppies all went to their new homes this past weekend (except for Kody - his new owner is having surgery this week, so he gets to stay a week longer).  Always bittersweet!

Was going to go show Georgia at her first show, she just turned 6 months this weekend, but ended up not being able to make it.  Instead, yard work in 90-degree weather among other things this weekend, but got to hear lots of fun news from the other HBCs out there!

What a great St Patty's weekend!
Down in FL, Mary showed Idgie one day for her agility debut and won a first in jww and second in std!!  So very happy for these two!  Up near Atlanta, there were some great runs by Katy and Remedy (she only showed 2 days, but did well, to include 1st place in a very competitive class) Donna and Demi, Lloyd and Tango, and myself with Greta.  Greta earned her OA and OAJ titles with a 2nd and a 4th.  Mark and Stacey Muir with Thunder and Irish came to visit and to throw a surprise MACH party for Savannah.  It was great, thank you SO much to everyone for making it all so special.   I love my HBC family (although I wish ALL of them could've made it!) and my agility friends, they are the bestest!

Great weekend for Katy and Remedy!   MX legs #6 (3rd place), #7 (1st place), and #8 (2nd place). MXJ leg #5 (1st place), and QQ #4. 

Congrats Alisa and Brandy on the new MXJ title!  And congrats to Katy and Remedy for a nice 1st place and MX legs #4 and #5.

February 12

Ran down at the last minute to Tallahassee FL to try to get Savannah's MACH title and well....she did it (with a second place finish, too!)  I am so blessed to have this dog, I love her so much.  She has only been competing at agility trials for exactly 2.5 yrs and during that time she had to take time off for 3 litters, plus her cycles.  So proud of her and so grateful that she made it so easy for me.

No joy in "Mudville" at the Savannah Dog Training Club's agility trial.  Was hoping to get Savannah's MACH there, but between the mud and rain (slipping/knocked bars) it didn't happen.  15 points to go.  She did win 3rd place on a jww run and Greta won first in an open jww run.

Spent the weekend of the 10th getting Flo bred...more details to follow.  We will know if she is pregnant around March 8th and if so, puppies would be due around Thursday April 12th.

Awesome way to start out February - for starters, thank you for all the birthday wishes!  In Jacksonville, Savannah didn't have the best weekend but we are now down to 35 points needed for her MACH.  Lloyd and Tango had some nice runs and all of his Q's were in the ribbons.  In TN, Katy and Remedy had a great weekend with 2 more QQ's on tough courses - wow, babydog!  And in NJ, Alisa with Brandy got another QQ and is only one leg away from her MXJ!  In Atlanta, Bodhi went to his second dog show and did pretty well, considering, and he won a major one of the days! Congrats, Karen!

January 12

Thunder going to Spain this summer! Click the picture below :)  Also, new pictures of his brother, Ten!

What a great weekend!  Word from Katy was that Remedy completed her AX AXJ and got her first QQ....  she's not even 18 months yet!  In Charleston, Cecilia Flo earned 2 legs for her RN obedience title as well as a placement among tough competition. Got to show Bodhi for Karen for the first time and he did surprisingly well considering he is not used to all the grooming, drying, girls in season, craziness, etc of a dog show.  Georgia showed for fun in a puppy match and did very well too, wish we could've stayed for groups but the match was dragging out WAY too long and we were all ready to go to dinner!  Also got to see Greta and Tirade's puppy, Ferrari who is now 6 months old - so handsome!

New 12-week pictures of Georgia!

More great news, Ten also has OFA Good hips and Normal Elbows!
Great weekend in Brooksville FL visiting with Lara, Dan and Ten.  Not so good weekend for Savannah and I in agility!

Is this my omen for a name for Georgia???  http://savannahnow.com/news/2012-01-11/girl-scouts-add-savannah-smiles-cookie-lineup   She does have that "Savannah smile" when she gets excited, and this name was already on my short list.....  and since the Girl Scouts were founded in Savannah....this might just have to be the name........  Although last weekend, Don & Ginsey St. Croix gave me the suggestion of Holther's "Mouth of the South" when Georgia kept barking at their dog, Party.  And I must admit I LOVE that name too!  And right now I am leaning towards that name.  Decisions, decisions......!?

Great news, I called OFA today (yes, impatience!) and both Thunder and Flo have OFA Good hips and normal elbows!

VAMP earns her FDCh-G title!  (25,000 pts) and had a 0.001 start time (which is nearly a perfect start!)  Check out her page of titles, HERE!

New (and very cool!) pictures of Brandy here and Thunder's champion picture here

Well, my computer fried around Christmas and now I have a new one with Windows 7 now which is NOT friendly with my really old web building software (Frontpage 2000).  So the site is going to be a little "buggy" and different until I can completely re-do a new one, I'm afraid.  Anyway!  Last two weekends have been great!  Irish and Mark got to perform at the NFL Atlanta Falcons halftime show!  Katy and Remedy got Rem's OA OAJ with first placements as well as all blue ribbons in her Excellent A courses she Q'd in, in Harriman TN.  Savannah and I had fun there as well and got some Q's and points.  Only need 73 more for her MACH! :)  Laurie and Halle got their CGC out in CA.  Also, Paula and Ela got a first place in Nov Std and a second place in Nov Fast.

Alice gets her RA title!

New 7 week photos of Savannah's baby.  Unfortunately, the quality isn't great, I'm still trying to learn this new Canon...and I am missing my Nikon more and more :(  Can't seem to get the lighting, focus, etc right at all!

12/16  Finally back home last night and staying home - for almost 2 weeks - ...YAY!  Hopefully I can catch up on email, pictures, videos, etc soon :)  Savannah and Will were both invited to compete at the AKC/Eukanuba Nat'l Championship this weekend but I didn't enter them.  I had to shave part of Will's foot a month ago and Savannah's coat is pouring out by the handfuls, as I knew it would be due to her pregnancy.  Maybe next year  :)
New picture of Ferrari - too cute!

Thunder finishes his show Championship in style with another 3-point major in Winston-Salem, NC.  And here is the update from Ela's owner, Paula, from her first CPE trial (congrats!) :  "She qualified in level 1 for Wildcard with a 1st place, FullHouse with a 2nd place, Snooker with a 1st place, Jackpot with a 1st place and level 2 Jackpot with a 2nd place. She earned a Strategy Games Title - CL1-S."

I had fun running Greta in agility this weekend down in FL, and she now has her NA!  Thanks again to Tinna Brown and Katy Chadwick for getting her started in agility, what a great job you gals did :)  Up in TN, Katy and Remedy had an incredible weekend with ALL first placements in all of her agility runs that she Q'd in (5 runs).

New Savannah's baby photos at 35 days old!

Another great weekend!  Went to Concord, NC for agility and conformation.  4 more points on Thunder, 3 more to go.  Lloyd with Tango had some nice placements in agility.  Saw Mercer's daughter Eva compete for the first time (whoa she is fast!) and she won some classes as well.  Down in FL, Lynn and Cirque has some really nice runs/placements in agility as well.

Wow, home from the HBC 2nd Reunion.  It was a BLAST (and went way too fast).  Thank you to everyone who helped out and made it happen.  Heather and I both are very appreciative of everything, especially all that the Muir's and the West's did.  I'm surprised that my little porkchop puppy made it back home ;)  Thank you to all of those who came and were such great sports about all the games, and thank you for loving these HBCs so much :)  Hopefully I will be able to make a page with photos and videos from it in the near future.
Also, at the agility trial in Marietta, thank you to Katy and Tinna for running Greta who now has her NAJ (with a blue ribbon!)  And Remy with Katy got some novice legs at her debut!  (and blue ribbons).  Lloyd and Tango won firsts in T2B and in JWW on Friday!  Tinna and Tirade, Alisa and Brandy, Beth and Miranda, Joe and Guinness, Paula and Ela, myself and Will, all had fun and success at agility.
Down in FL, Lynn and Cirque had a great weekend as well in the ribbons!
And Sandy with Finn got his BN title up north!

Congrats to Cecilia and Flo, who earned her HSAs with a third place!
