an AKC Master Agility
Dog, we traveled to Chicago in 1997 for a Fourth Place at the Pupperoni
Agility Classic, 1998 Third place Winner Pupperoni Agility Classic in
Indianapolis, 1999 placed 8th at the AKC National Agility Championships in
Atlanta Georgia, and at the National Agility Classic in August of 2000 in
Louisville Kentucky she placed First.
She was noted by the Gazette in 1999,
however to be first and foremost a piano playing therapy dog!
She is a little gray now but
the kids and adults seem to love her spunk as she retrieves or does her scent
articles as an mind reading trick or as she plays basketball or plays the
piano. Oreo loves to dress up in holiday costumes or wear bandanas.
Audiences
love it when I tell her to stay and as I turn my back to walk away she scoots
forward but when I look back at her she looks completely innocent and as if
she never moved. I truly believe she delights in their snickers! She has
been the light of my therapy work when I see the smiles she can bring with
her antics.
Whitecrest Whispering Faith is titled in AKC obedience and is working on her
Master Agility Championship Title. In addition Whisper placed 6th at the
National Agility Classic 2000 in Louisville Ky and 14th place at the AKC
National Agility Championships at Springfield Mass.
Her serious show poodle clip made for some interesting observations!
The folks young and old love to cuddle her soft fur in her casual clip for
training in agility and tracking. 
Whisper is learning some fun things to do
on therapy visits by watching Oreo! We use obedience and agility training
exercises to do "tricks" for our vists. One smile at a time, I have seen
therapy dogs find a room full of smiles where minutes before there were none.
