Versatility Excellent Beardie
December 10, 2002 - January 6, 2017
“Forever would have never been long enough.
We were so blessed for the past 14 years to share our lives with Elton. He was our first of everything; he was there when Jeremy proposed; he was at the wedding and honeymoon; he taught us to be better trainers and be really creative; but more than anything else he taught us to LIVE .. LOVE .. and LAUGH.
“I owned every second
That this world could give.
I swear I lived.” - One Direction
We should all be so lucky to love life and live with every moment! He was the absolute best role model and we were so lucky to share our lives with him.”

Elton's Retirement Run
Elton's our first beardie and agility dog.
He has been the most amazing dog to learn how to play the game. He had a lot of patience with me and happily trained me all along the way. I'm not going to say it was always easy .. but it sure was a whole lot of fun!!
He never let me forget it was a team sport (well as long as he got to be captain ;) ) and it's only worth playing if we were both having fun!!
We have made some amazing friends through our times together and it was very special to have them celebrate our final run with us.
Thanks,
Heather Gahres & Sir Elton John

We had a great weekend last week at the USDAA Midatlantic Showcase. Kit got to run on her first team along with big sister Caol Ila and Ruth Bryden, and Joby and Sheila Franklin. Each of the baby dogs had some really great moments. And were all very well behaved in the Team Relay!
On Friday, April 19th, Jeremy and Kit finished their Starters Standard title and with that their Agility Dog title. \\
Here's her run from Friday.
