Our foundation dogs, Maggie and Drum, and some other wonderful, very special dogs from the past that we have owned and loved very much.
Ch. Lineriders Imagineer of Dakota CD, CGC (1 leg CDX)
(Ch. Mr. Untouchable of Misty Morn X Brightwoods Painted Lady)
Maggie was our foundation dam and exemplifies the physical type and mental soundness that we hold as ideal. She was the premium canine athlete - you should have seen her jump for those Frisbees, zip over the flyball hurdles, and scale the A-frame in agility. Maggie won first place in the Open Red Tri Bitch class at the 1994 USASA National Specialty.

ASCA Hall of Fame Sire #134
(Ch. Manchado Crazy Horse CDX, OTDsd, STDc X Ch. Manchado Chili Pepper)
Drum was five years old when he came to us from Becky Bailie. At nine years of age he was still garnering Best of Breed wins. Drum won the Open Red Merle class at the 1994 USASA National Specialty. He consistently passed on genetic soundness, a strong work ethic, and outstanding performance ability.

(VCH. WTCH. Beauwood's Rustlin' in The Sun UDT X Ch. Lineriders Imagineer of Dakota CD)
Kirby was 1st Place Open Red Bitch 1991 ASCA Nationals, nationally ranked in Front & Finish 20" Novice Agility, HIT Obedience, Best of Breed winner. She was my heart-dog and gardening buddy. The moment I remember most with her is winning a class of 50+ dogs in Novice agility at the Cleveland cluster -- in front of an instructor who, only a year earlier, had told me she was too timid to do agility and I should just give up. I believed in Kirby. She didn't let me down.

Ch. Katzenjammer Kid of Imagineer CD, STDs, CGC
(Ch. Zeller's WinterHavens Rusty X Ch. Lineriders Imagineer CD, CGC)
As a former therapy dog for the elderly, Kasey was a calm and gentle ambassador of the breed; yet she could also be a staunch protector of home and car. She would grin at and wag her nub at visitors to our home, but the other dogs here knew and respected that she was the queen. Kasey was a resilient dog of strong mind and stable temperament.

(Ch. Imagineers Dreamcatcher STDs, DNA-CP X Ch. Katzenjammer Kid of Imagineer CD, STDs)
Spooner believed she was put in this world to love children. I once left her at the starting line in agility only to find that when I looked back she had decided to leave the ring and go visit a couple of boys who were helping out at the trial. She was nationally ranked #7 in Started Sheep for 2002. A talker and a Frisbee fanatic, she was the self-appointed Chief Security Officer of the Garbage Gnome Patrol and according to our son Mitchell: "The bestest dog in the whole world."

(Ch. Starstuff's Still Crazy CD, STDsd, CGC, HOF X Fairoaks Jami Jo)
Abby was an honest dog who naturally worked very wide. She qualified for the ASCA National Stockdog Finals in 1999 and 2000 with former owner Jeff Dasinger. What I loved best about her was that I could open the gate to the pasture at the top of the hill, tell her to "get around", then walk down to the arena and wait for the sheep to come trotting down the hill and through the gate. The less commands I gave her, the better. She was the same in agility and liked it best if I just hung back twenty feet, shut up, and leaned my shoulder to indicate directions to her. Next to Jumpers runs in agility and cows, Abby loved her Frisbee best. Her other talents included retrieving basketballs, soccer-style, uphill and serving as a pee-wee handling dog.

ASCA Hall of Fame Dam #292
Domino always gave her all, never forgetting she was part of a team. She was focused and courageous, biddable and gentle with children. One of her former occupations was visiting preschool and serving as a demo. dog. She would very patiently allow each and every child to walk her up and down the hallway. While waiting for her turn in agility, she was curled up and napping. But put her on the starting line and the switch would go on and her jet pack was fired up.

(Ch. Temptation's Rock'N Breezeway DNA-CP X Ch. Katzenjammer Kid of Imagineer CD, STDs, CGC)
Ben was co-owned with Nita Taylor of Eaton, OH. Obsessed with tennis balls, his aspiration was to become an active member of a flyball team. He was also awesome on sheep - a hard worker, intense and a quick learner. We called him "Everybody's Dog" because of the easy switch he made from one handler to another, whether doing 4-H, obedience, working sheep or showing. Ben had a rock solid temperament with a fabulous ON/OFF switch. He earned points and RWDs under Breeder Judges such as Shelly Hollen, Carol Ann Hartnagle, Sam Magazzine, Rick Gann (BOW/BOB), Sandy Cornwell and Lois Odom.

Rush was the social ambassador here and a true clown, not to forget an occasional escape artist - although he just wanted to come sit on the porch and wait at the front door. He also served as our daughter's 4-H dog, attending the State Fair in junior handling with her. Athletic, happy, outgoing and with the most striking mahogany colored coat, Rush was truly one of a kind.

Jay naturally ran wide on stock like her mother. She was a calm worker who gently lifted the sheep out of the pen. While trialing on stock, she earned two Most Promising Started Aussie awards. She loved everyone she met and was built to move tirelessly (as we discovered on those occasions when she felt the need to go to work and do laps around the arena and pastures). WB's earned under Breeder judges Lisa Cameron-Bell, Anne Shope, Dorothy Montano and Heidi Mobley. RWB's under Breeder judges Janet White and Shelly Hollen, plus additional RWB's under AKC judges.

Trim Q'd in 4 out of 4 runs at SEMASA's Memorial Day trial with class placements all the way. Trim loved working ducks. One day when I was out gardening, she kept rounding up the ducks, who were on bug patrol, and bringing them to me. On dark winter nights when I was deep in a book, Trim would cozy up in the recliner with me - my substitute house cat.

At four months of age, Lachlan squeezed under the fence to the sheep pasture and began rounding them up on his own. Needless to say, his training started early. He became the demo dog for herding lessons and the go-to chore dog. All you had to do was open the gate at the top of the hill, tell him to "get around" and he'd gather the sheep from a quarter mile away, out of sight, and bring them calmly over the hill and down into the lower pasture. A dog like that is a once-in-a-lifetime dog.

Pip was a talker and a toy hoarder. If she could've inserted herself in my pocket and gone everywhere with me all the time, she would have. I sure do miss those glow-in-the-dark amber eyes and her paw-punches.
