OZZYPOOLS BLACK OPAL ShCM "ECHO"
SIRE - AM CH THORNAPPLE DIAMOND RIO DAM - OZZYPOOLS ALLSPICE AT REVLOCH DOB - 2/2./2001
THIS IS MY AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD "ECHO". HE WAS BRED BY GLYNIS AND COLIN DOWSON OF OZZYPOOL AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS HE CAME TO ME AT 15 MONTHS OLD AFTER HIS OWNER - A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE- DIED SUDDENLY. IT HAD BEEN HIS WISH FOR ECHO TO BE SHOWN, SO SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I DECIDED TO ENTER THE WORLD OF SHOWING A DOG. I HAD PREVIOUSLY COMPETED IN OBEDIENCE WITH MY GERMAN SHEPHERD MANY YEARS EARLIER BUT THIS WAS COMPLETELY NEW TO ME. ECHO LOVED BEING AT THE SHOWS AS HE IS A VERY SOCIABLE DOG, BUT TRYING TO GET HIM TO STAND IN A SET POSITION FOR MORE THAT 5 SECONDS WAS PROVING DIFFICULT. HOWEVER WE PERSEVERED AND EVENTUALLY HAD SOME WINS UNDER OUR BELT. TO DATE WE HAVE HAD MANY WINS AND GROUP PLACES AT OPEN SHOWS AND PLACES AT CHAMP SHOWS AND IN JULY 2005 HE OBTAINED HIS SHOW CERTIFICATE OF MERIT - THAT ONE IS FOR YOU DON!!. ECHO IS A GREAT DOG TO LIVE WITH AND HAS AN EXCEPTIONAL TEMPERAMENT. IT IS NOT UNKNOWN FOR LOCAL KIDS TO COME TO THE DOOR ASKING IF HE IS COMING OUT TO PLAY!!. HE JUST ADORES EVERYONE AND ALSO LOVES "THE LADIES". HE HAS SIRED 2 LITTERS AND ALL THE OWNERS ARE ENJOYING THEIR DOGS. ECHO ALSO NOW HAS A NEW BEST FRIEND IN ROBBIE MY NEW PUPPY.THANKS TO GLYNIS AND COLIN FOR ALL THEIR HELP. ECHO ALSO GOT 3RD IN VETERAN DOG AT CRUFTS 2008 WHICH I WAS REALLY DELIGHTED WITH.
