Thank you to Kate and Linda at Rainyday Aussies for entrusting us with this awesome girl.  She has far exceeded anything we thought would be possible, and the future will only show her awesome potential.  Watch for this lady in the stock and agility trials in the coming year.

She had 1 leg on her CD title (with a 1st place), 1 leg each in Open sheep and ducks, and she wasn't even 2 years old when she achieved that!
