VERSATILITY AWARD
Awarded To Member-Owned Fox Terriers
Achieving Titles Across TWO Disciplines
Ch Decorum I See Myself at Quissex ME Ch Decorum I See Myself at Quissex ME
Owners: Mary B. Smith
Ch Decorum I See Myself at Quissex ME " Phoebe" is still going strong at age 13.
She patrols our farm looking for critters and still has the best nose in our pack.
She quickly finds any trespassing varmints and then leaves the dispatching to one
of the other dogs. She was a star at earthdog once she learned that we wanted her
to make noise and not just do the “death stare”. She was a wonderful mother to three
litters and is a Dam of Distinction. We are so proud of Phoebe and her accomplishments.
Thanks so much to Winnie Stout for bringing Phoebe into our lives.
Ch Glencoe's Gone to Ground SECh Glencoe's Gone to Ground SE
Owners: Mary B. Smith
Ch Glencoe’s Gone to Ground SE "Mo" is a wonderful dog. He’s an excellent hunter
and thoroughly enjoys earthdog trials. We’ve also worked on Rally which he loves
especially when he gets lots of treats. After having won reserve to uncounted majors
he finished his championship with three back to back majors. He comes to work with
me and is the mascot of the yarn shop where I teach. He greets each customer with
a wag and a smile. Mo has a special relationship with a very young girl who visits
the shop regularly. She has severe epilepsy and was quite scared of dogs when she
first started visiting the shop. Mo is always amazingly gentle with her. She now
runs to see him then sits on the floor and hugs him. Her family now would like to
find her a seizure detecting service dog and hope they can find a dog just like
Mo.

With a fun loving personality since birth " Mimi" enjoys life to the fullest. She
accompanies me to work every day. When I ride my bike to work Mimi sits front and
center in a wicker basket watching all the sights and sounds. On the way to earning
her conformation title Mimi was awarded Winners Bitch during the prestigious Kennel
Club of Palm Springs weekend. She subsequently finished with 3 majors. The Junior
Earthdog title was earned in one weekend with back to back qualifying legs. Mimi
then took time off to whelp a litter and then came back out to earn her Grand Champion
title 5 months later. Mimi is also ½ of the Best In Show winning Brace from the
Great Western Terrier Association show in 2011, shown by Trudy Haines. She is a
wonderful fox terrier to live with and despite her serious hunting abilities she
gets along with all dogs. I am so very grateful to have Mimi in my life.
CH Quigley's Crystalline Sunrise JECH Quigley's Crystalline Sunrise JE
Owners: Evan Wolf & Claire Hoffman
"Ch Quigley's Crystalline Sunrise JE "Agatha" (Ch Sunrise Memories of Mansevale
JE x Ch Raybill Lalique Crystal) bred by Claudia and David Supensky, was shown to
her conformation Championship title by her co-owner Claire Hoffman. She moved to
the Miracle Mile on Sunday March 8, 200, (we remember the day), and was handled
in her earth dog work entirely by her co-owner Evan Wolf. This accomplishment is
Evan's first AKC title. Agatha tells us that most days she prefers to work independently
... pursuing birds relentlessly in the heart of the Museum District of Los Angeles!
GCH Dalriada MGK High Voltage RA GCH Dalriada MGK High Voltage RA
Owners: Kristen Read
"Max" is GCH Dalriada's MGK High Voltage RA. I have owner-handled him to multiple
groups wins and a Best In Show and now we are focusing on performance. He was bred
by Cara Campbell DVM and has been a once in a lifetime dream dog. He is a great
show dog, willing performance dog and the best family member. Loves camping with
us, biking and even swimming and retrieving in the river. He is training in Agility
now and has legs towards some NADAC titles. He earned his Rally Novice title in
3 trials with 2 firsts and a 3rd. At his last trial he scored 99/100 and I had to
prove to the judge he was an intact male! Our goals are traditional obedience and
the higher levels of rally so we have plenty of fun ahead!!!!
CRACKER JACK AWARD
Awarded To Member-Owned Fox Terriers
Achieving Titles Across THREE Disciplines
Ch J-Lyn's Shaken Not Stirred RN JE Ch J-Lyn's Shaken Not Stirred RN JE
Owners: Patricia A. Greaves
"James Bond" came into my life from Jesy Wahlsten in Minnesota. This was after losing
my wire of 14 years "Glory" Ch. Foxhollow Morning Glory CD JE. James Bond has his
American, Canadian & International Championship plus Rally Novice title. When I
was thinking what else I could do with him to bond and would be fun for us both
Earthdog came to mind! Glory got her Junior Earthdog in 2 shows so I thought how
hard will this be with James Bond. WRONG! He likes to waste time at the entrance
so we blew our first 5 shows. Then our luck changed and he qualified with the fastest
time of 15 seconds in the trial. Only 2 dogs out of 39 passed and he was one of
them. In the afternoon we went on after a violent thunderstorm. Again only 2 dogs
out of 29 qualified and he was one of them. I was SO proud of him. We’ll try Senior
Earthdog in the Fall and I know that he’ll have fun "Getting the Rat!"

"Dexter" and I have been buds since he was able to come home with his mom after
his birth. He went to work with us every day and patiently waited for ‘playtime’
and then his ride home on my lap. He has an amazing personality and enjoys sunny
afternoons in the pool and sitting with me on the swing. His intelligence never
ceases to amaze me except of course at agility trials! He usually has a different
idea of where the course should go and loves to peek over his shoulder to see if
any of his fan club members are watching. Then his fans , the judges and - I have
to admit to also saying...... “but he’s so cute”. Lucky he is! We are moving on
to obedience for a little change. After he earned his Rally Novice title I thought
it was time for a change of venue. I think we will wander back and forth competing
in obedience, rally and agility hoping to find some earth dog and lure coursing
along the way…
