Thunder
Thunder Barkers Boy is a five year old Shetland
Sheepdog or more fondly called, sheltie. He lives
with his brother, Lightning and the Foreman family.
He has been competing in agility over the last three
years and loves to run courses. He is currently competing at a Master level in AKC and Level 4 in CPE.
He runs with a smile and loves to get a piece of
cheese at the end of the course. Recently his smile
was contagious as Cheryl Griffith ran with him on a
couple of Time 2 Beat courses. It was great to see
both of them smile as they ran.
Thunder is not a fan of toys, but loves to chase his brother or occasionally pick up a ball and
drop it. He would much rather sit and watch. On a rare occasion he will chase a ball, and
once or twice actually picked it up and brought it back.
He is not much of a trick dog, but will shut lower cupboard doors by slamming them shut
with his paws. Of course, if there is cheese involved he would probably do anything to get a
bite of this tasty treat.
Thunder is the dog I always dreamed of. He walks by my side on or off lease, always comes
when called and has a cheery disposition. I love my Thunder dog! He loves it when we sing
the Underdog theme song to him. His smile is sure to melt
your heart. - Judy

After a heart breaking Bar down on Saturday delayed the celebration and forced us to try to earn the MACH on much
more difficult courses Brasstax Mithrandir Blast came up big on Sunday and Joined the MACH club. His finish was 5
Double Qs out of his last 7 attempts.
We were excited to get it in our Clubs June trial with most our friends there to celebrate with. This gives blast a MACH
and an ADACH so far this year and he needs only one more Jumpers run for NATCH # 5.
My thanks to the Club and all our friends without your love and support none of this would be possible. We were so
proud of our students and club mates I feel without exception that you all did a great job. Leath McLaughlin
Riko and I have had a couple of recent agility trials and have some highlights to report! At the CPE trial at
Council Bluffs we started off a little tough with a first time location but finished the second day with some completed
games, qs and new titles. We then went to our first AKC trial held at the Bison Complex for all 3 days. Had a pretty
good start with Friday and then Saturday 2 Qs (awesome surprise). Then some good runs on Sunday despite the fact
that I fell and got back up to finish the course and that after a wide turn, Riko took a short cut back through the weave
pole obstacle on our last run. Riko also went to 4-H Camp near Gretna and had a great time meeting all the youth
who were learning about Animal Science (Livestock, Equine, and Companion Animals). He is willing to go back to
camp anytime! Rikokin & Kat Potthoff
