Pelo Castaņo known as Cassi Cassi and Blue
Cassi was my first sheltie and taught me how to train dogs. She did agility, tracking, flyball and won several ribbons and trophies in obedience. Cassi and Blue loved each other and it was an endless delight to watch their interaction.
Angel, our first dog
Angel was a collie, retriever mix and she was the dog with whom my children shared their childhood. She had a very profuse coat and my husband always maintained that he didn't need a winter coat because all his suits were fur lined.

CH. Kinship's Silver Shadows (Shadow) was our first CKC champion. He is a picture when he was almost 12 years old (picture on the right). He had both obedience and aglity titles. We lost Shadow between Christmas and New Years in 2008

Gizmo the Magwi Gizmo was the first dog I ever competed in obedience and he was excellent but taught me that there is such a thing as "ring smart". He would look at the people on the sidelines, shake his little behind and march off as if to say "Watch me, this is the way it's done!". At home, "coming" when called was another story, often only a 50, 50 sucess rate.
Blue was the best cat we ever owned with an incredible personality. Her favourite food was tomatoes and we couldn't leave them out on the counter or she would eat them before we could.
