"Flint" Sunlight's Cerro Solo, CD,CGC

DOB 03-05-08

(Ch. Blackthorn King of the Beech x Blackthorn Roxy, CGC)

 

Flint was a singleton puppy (the only one in his litter) so he is completely attached to Christine and just loves people in extra enthusiastic Labrador fashion! Flint is showing great potential for the obedience ring and Christine is hoping he'll be her first dog to train to a UDX, and possibly even an OTCH title! He's a total ham, such a mama's boy and what a flirt! He will be a fantastic therapy dog, but we're waiting to do that until he's finished with competition.  Flint loves to go hiking and camping. In true Labrador style, swimming and retrieving are his absolute passion in life and he does both with complete gusto! He also absolutely LOVES to train, which is SUCH a joy to work with!!!

 

"TALI" International CH. Sunlight's Sacred Talisman, CGC, TDI

DOB 01-08-09

(Ch. Blackthorn's Float's My Boat x Sunlight's Premonition, CDX, RA, CGC,

Delta Society Pet Partner)

Tali is a busy bee and social butterfly like her mom, Pearlie. She's smart as a whip and is a quick learner. In October, 2010 she finished her International breed championship title in just one weekend of showing!! She's started her training for competitive obedience. Christine has also begun the new venture of training in agility with Tali, which may be an even better fit for Tali than obedience due to it's quick pace and variety of tasks! Tali is always wanting to learn and says "let's DO something, Mom!!!" She's also a GREAT little hiking and geocaching buddy and recently has started going out on runs with Paul several days a week!

Christine plans to show Tali in AKC Agility and Obedience.  If all goes according to our plans, we plan to breed Tali in her next cycle, which will be early 2012.  Tali has CERF clearances for eyes and is Optigen clear for PRA. She is good/clear for OFA's on Hips and Elbows. Tali has also tested clear for CMN.  She has full dentition and is an International Breed Champion, as well as Therapy Dog International (TDI) recognized therapy dog and has her AKC CGC, so far.

In Tali's 1st UKI Agility Trial, that we entered mainly for ring experience, Tali got a 1st place and her first 6 points in Beginner's Speedstakes in August!!
