                                           Jetta's portrait by John Aitken

 

Jetta was chosen by me mainly because she was "unusual looking".  Officially she is a cryptic bi-blue sheltie.    She is mostly black in colour with the usual white sheltie points and splotches of gray added to the mix.
Jetta has earned her Canadian Obedience Trial Championship with a High in Trial from the Open B class with a 198.5 score.
She is a wonderful agility dog, but has never competed officially.  She has performed in many demos though, and you can really see her "turn on" when the music is cued.
Jetta earned her ONYX title in 2002 after racing 8 years with McCann vs McCann.  Race timed in her earlier years in the 4.5s, Jetta still manages to run mostly in the 4.8 range now.  She is a tireless competitor, takes great pride in doing the perfect turn off the box, and has just recently been able to hold on to her ball while doing an exchange...... old dogs can learn new tricks!  Jetta's litter sister, Steele, runs with Over Rovers out of Fredericton, New Brunswick.  Steele has earned her ONYX title in 2003!.
Both these girls are daughters of Lacy who ran on the world record setting McCann team in 1992.

The year 2002 saw Jetta honoured with the Tailspinner's 4-breed Dream Team award.  We were thrilled!

JETTA has now earned her FGDCH title. At 10.5 years old she is still going very strong, and loving every time she gets to burn up the mats.
