 It was one of those sought-after, perfect days you only dream about. It was a day that was not supposed to happen, but the dream came true for 8-year-old Anne of Harmony Farms and Ellen in late September 2003. Anne had earned her first two legs as a young dog, but became too sick to continue. When littermate Abby passed away earlier in 2003, Ellen knew that Anne had already outlived the lifespan the vet had predicted. Ellen decided to let her very best working dog ever have one more opportunity to finish her Companion Dog title, and entered her one day only at the Kennel Club of Riverside held at Lake Perris. With a group of friends looking on, a tearful Ellen and confident Anne finished first in their class! |

 Waylon and Sally very quickly earned Waylon's Companion Dog title in only a few weekends. He was high scoring Terrier in all three shows. Waylon knew his ring exercises well because he has participated in obedience training group classes with Ellen since his puppyhood. The team is also working the new "Rally" event competition, and plans to work toward a CDX. |
