Lindy is a very happy-natured girl who thinks life is great fun; she enjoys doing
anything, but especially if it involves any form of retrieving! Field work is her greatest
love, although she has not been allowed to spend much time there due to Mom's predominant
involvement in obedience and tracking. She is a very stylish runner and a powerful swimmer
with an explosive water entry. She has excelled in the obedience ring for years, where her
animated performances and leaping finishes have made her a favorite of judges and
audiences alike. That same drive and enthusiasm have now been applied to the agility ring,
where only her little white face gives away the fact that she is almost ten years old.
Lindy has a loving nature, is nonaggressive towards other dogs or people, and is energetic
without being hyper--she is a wonderful house dog. She is a joy to train, being both
intelligent and willing to try anything (although she is too smart to ever let training
become "routine"!), and this is perhaps what has allowed her to accomplish so
much in so many areas, while having fun at all of it. Lindy has always been completely
owner-trained and handled, and has been for a decade an incomparable companion and
partnera truly once in a lifetime kind of dog. |
