 Parade of Titleholders
Vantasia’s Lady Anja – Sire: Frosty’s Samson x Xpect the Best uv Vantasia. Owner: Dianne Petrone. Titles: UKC CH, CGC, OFA (H&E) Certified. When I think of Anja, the words “unconditional love” come to mind. She is a faithful companion who is always there for me and our family. She loves her role as the protector of the home. Over the last year she has enjoyed competing for her championship in UKC. Anja is, without a doubt, a very precious friend!
WGSDCII CH Moonshadow’s Peterbuilt – Sire: Can. CH Hylowe's Once In A Lyfetyme (OFA H&E) x WGSDCII CH Moonshadow Sunset Seranade (OFA H&E). Owner: Rose Ingram. Titles: WGSDCII Champion, Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dog International, Temperament Tested, OFA (H & E). Pete is our sweet boy who sires sweet pups like himself. Although he is sweet and gentle natured, he is appropriately protective when necessary. He guards the house as one would expect a well temperamented GSD to do. Although Petey thinks he is Top Dog now that Eagle has passed on, he still is as obedient as ever, always willing to please. He is a great companion.
MM Holland’s Heidi – Sire: Star Guard x Star Foxx. Owner: Susan Holland. Titles: CD, CDX, UD, UDX. Heidi’s show career began as an accident. She was given to me by a friend due to the fact that she was too old to be cute. She was severely unsocialized. I began taking her to obedience classes just so I could get her in public without embarrassment. To everyone’s surprise, Heidi loved showing (except stand for exam – it was very hard for her to allow a stranger to touch her. It still is.) Anyway she has pretty much sailed through all levels. Two years ago, she was awarded the Princess Memorial Award by Joyce Ann Matejcek – such a huge honor. She has won several High-in-Trials and twice won High Combined. Heidi has come a long way from the puppy that wouldn’t let anyone touch her.
Terror’s Wonderland Mikaela – Sire: WGSDCII CH Chris’s Silver von Snowcloud, CD (OFA) x Terror’s Ro-Lo Pride Penny, TC, TDI, CGC. Owner: Nancy H. Swanner. Titles: Therapy Dog International, Canine Good Citizen, Herding Certified and Altered Pet Champion, OFA certified. Here she is, following in her mother, Penny’s footsteps – still competing at almost 12 years of age. Miki earned her Herding Instinct Certificate at the 1995 GSDCA specialty in California, and her TDI and CGC at the WGSDCII National in Oklahoma in 2002. After an emergency spay several years ago, Miki set out to be the best pet anyone could ask for. With the introduction of the Altered Pet Classes, Miki found an area where she could compete in the show ring. She is the first dog to earn the title of WGSDCII Altered Champion. Miki earned the Penny Award for the oldest white GSD shown at the 2004 National.
