PEDIGREE

It's hard to explain how it feels to have owned, trained, and competed with a dog like this.  He was the second Aussie I ever owned.  The real meaning of an Aussie like Salt can only be understood after meeting him.

A moderate dog with great structure, Salt is not a flashy, show-ring fad.  He is a correct and instinctive Australian Shepherd with personality plus.  He holds a Breed Championship in both ASCA and AKC.

A powerful, instinctive working dog, he holds a Working Trial Championship and has several titles with AHBA and AKC.

Because of his impressive physical athleticism, his biddability, and intense drive, he has excelled in agility as well.

All of these things together have earned him the title of SVCH--Supreme Versatility Champion of the Australian Shepherd Club of America.  There are only three other dogs in the history of ASCA who have achieved this high honor, and he is currently the only living SVCH.  He has achieved multiple high in trial in the working arenas and also has earned Most Versatile Aussie awards at the Nationals level, in competition with some of the greatest Aussies in the world.

To say it's been the ride of a lifetime is an understatement.  To have a dog like this by my side, ready to do anything I ask (and with the signature Salt enthusiasm!) is an honor and a privilege.

Salt is semi-retired and living the high life here at Fly Away, helping me raise pups and continuing to help out with the chores.  He still competes in the Veterans level of agility and sometimes I throw him in the stock ring just for fun.

Salt will go down in the history of ASCA, of course.  He has made his mark.  But above all, he's my buddy, my friend.  He has made his mark on ME.
