Meet Our Bird Dogs

Emmie

Emmie's Yosef Hill CGC, TDI, CL1, CL2, CL3, ONYX. Emmie is a yellow Labrador Retriever born 03/03/05. She is co-owned by Donna Shelton and Jennifer King. Her nicknames include neminator and sugar bear. Emmie also competes in agility and is a certified therapy dog. Jen and Emmie volunteer in the Paws for Reading program at a local library where kids read to her. Emmie’s other hobbies include eating and napping. She loves her labbie sister, Kiley, more than anything else in this world. Emmie enjoys water activities from a water retrieve to jumping off the diving board. Her favorite toys have dangly bits that she can swing to and fro. Emmie is unusual for a lab in that she likes a good game of dress up.

Kiley

Kiley's Nestle Heel CGC, CL1, CL2, CL3, ONYX. Kiley is a chocolate Labrador Retriever born 03/06/04. She is co-owned by Donna Shelton and Jennifer King. Her nicknames include the brown bullet or brown clown (dependent on her actions at that exact moment), ki-ki, and brownie brownie cocoa puff. Kiley also competes in agility. She was truly born to work as she always gives 100%, whether it be flyball, performing tricks, or dropping a toy between the feet of the victim of choice. Her most entertaining trick is imitating Stevie Wonder. Her most unusual characteristic is that she likes to play with tiny, cat-sized toys, with her favorite being her beloved little Moo Moo.

Roxie

Roxanne (Roxie) was rescued from the side of the road at about 9 months old by Helen Schaefer. Unwilling to share details of her previous life, Roxie spent the better part of two years learning over how to be a dog and interact properly with the world (something she stills struggles with). She had dreams of following her older stepbrother into agility but her irrepressable belief that every biped is her best friend coupled with her ADHD made it impossible for her to focus. It was suggested by Deb Norman she try flyball instead. She then spent the better part of two and a half years training in this sport. It's effort well spent, as Roxie has a true passion for all things flyball, despite her ADHD still getting the better of her, but that's okay because her motto is "On my way to ONYX, one heat at a time". As of late 2011 she has her FDCh-S.

Casey

Casey FDCh-G, is Lynn’s 2 year old yellow lab. He was born 09/5/2008, and true to his registered name “Steppin’ Up To The Plate”, he has taken brother Rowdy’s (who is finding lost souls over the bridge) place as a Search and Rescue Dog with his daddy, Andy. He really loves it (as Rowdy also did) when he is on loan to Lynn and can play flyball, and hopes someday to meet his Southern Lab teammates, Kiley and Emmie. He also enjoys riding in the car, swimming and playing Frisbee with his BC brothers, Flash and Quiz.
