In June 2004, Dawn added Mikamar Best Kept Secret to the family. In addition to being a
family pet, Dawn hoped Whisper would be a partner in Semper Fido by acting as demo
dog. She also hoped to start in canine sports and obedience.
Whisper fit easily into the family. Raising a sheltie, demo dog and performance dog
turned out to be quite a challenge, one Dawn took head on. (Please see Dawn's article
"It's Not Easy Being Green" about her first year with Whisper published in Clean Run
January 2007). Whisper has matured nicely and is certainly delivering the goods.
Whisper passed her CGC test without practice in November 2005. Whisper demonstrates
for Dawn's Training Fundamentals classes on a regular basis. Her photos can be seen in
Leslie McDevitt's "Nip it in the Bud" article in the June 2006 issue of Clean Run. And in Leslie
McDevitt's new book "Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog". Dawn
is active training Whisper for agility and rally obedience. Watch for Whisper in Leslie
McDevitt's upcoming video.
In August of 2006, Dawn and Whisper made their agility debut at the NADAC trial in
Contookcook, NH. Whisper and Dawn took second place in Novice Jumpers, their first run
ever in competition. They qualified in two runs out of three.
Dawn updates regularly on her accomplishments with Whisper on her Blog.
Whisper has earned the following titles, AX (AKC Excellent Agility Title), MXJ(AKC Master
Excellent Agility Jumper Title ), AD (USDAA Agility Dog), NJC (NADAC Novice Jumper's
Certificate )and CGC (AKC Canine Good Citizen).
