Kamaglo's Celtic Song At Rusty Creek UDX OM3 JH 10/13/2008-6/6/14/2017
"I have often thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied that it is in the compassion for the human race; for if we suffer in losing a dog after 10 to 12 years, what would it be if they were to live double that time." Sir Walter Scott
"Piper" was truly heaven sent...via Kamaglo Goldens! She left me too soon and will be in my heart forever.
Her purpose was to be my obedience dog. She started her competition career early with back to back High In Trial awards at the age of 15 months. Both were via an almost perfect score of 199. She continued that same year to finish her UD at the age of two. She finished off that year with her Obedience Master 1 title.
With time off so her owner could do life, Piper whelped her first litter of pups, She was back in training both in obedience and field while she weaned the little things. She earned her Junior Hunt title easily with four consecutive passes while working toward her UDX title. She completed her UDX title just after her second litter at the age of 7.
She shined in the obedience ring, earning her OM3, multiple HIT, all required wins plus from both Open B and Utility B for her OTCH and ended up with a total of 59 points toward that coveted title. With minimal showing and work she qualified for the 2015/2016/2017 AKC National Obedience Classic.
Her last show, just three weeks before she was diagnosed with Mast Cell cancer she won Utility B, tied for first and ended up with second place in the Open B class behind her talented son Trick. Then another run off with Trick for High in Trial. Piper ended her last obedience show next to her son winning High Combined. Exciting to have mom and son together with top awards not just this once but twice in their careers, earning the same at COGRC Specialty just a few months prior.
Piper's most favorite thing to do in life is to be my treasured companion. She lived to perform whether it was in the ring, as my demo dog, for her young "fan club" or just for me. She was a very special girl, giving me continued joy in her talented kids. I will miss her everyday.
