Copper Hills Pool Party

Above: Summer earned her first AKC points on May 25, 2008, in the form of a 3-point major against very nice competition.

Above: Summer made her ASCA debut at the Gateway ASC shows Feb. 2 and 3, 2008. Her very first time in the "real" ring, she was winners bitch from the 6-9 puppy class, out of an entry of 11 under breeder judge Jewel Fuls. Good girl, Summer!

Summer is the newest addition to our Aussie crew and we are thrilled that she is here. She took the long drive from Connecticut to Michigan and then Illinois in stride and immediately made herself at home. She has a very high opinion of herself -- a good thing in a show dog -- and is proving to be an eager and fast learner. True to her registered name, she adores water. Summer is co-owned with her breeder, Kathy Hubbard.

Above: Summer at 7 months old. She has the personality and drive to match that intense stare.

Above: Summer at 4 1/2 months. Our little girl is growing up!

Above: Roughhousing with the endlessly patient Cody at about three months.
