Lillan at a trial in CO

Lillan waiting for her ball to be thrown

Lillan came to us in 2000. She was our first show dog and taught us a lot about the sport. Lillan was owner-handled all the way! She finished in CO, July 2003 and then went onto her agility career. Lillan was the proud mama of ELEVEN puppies--the Dream Litter.

In June 2006, Lillan made the final cut for Best of Breed at the GSCA Nationals. That was an exciting time. Lillan was also invited to the AKC/Eukanuba Agility Invitational, 2007! She was the number 7 Gordon Setter in agility. We are HOPING to get her MX this year!

In Dec 2008--Lillan, Lana (a close friend) and I went to the AKC Eukanuba Agility Invitational! It was so exciting to be one of 4 Gordon Setters who were invited. We ran the best we could, and I was so proud of that little girl. Overall, it was an exciting trip--seeing Long Beach for the first time, watching so many great handler/dog teams, and cheering on the other dogs. We traveled through wind, rain, and snow, and were almost home when we were hit by a pick-up truck. I thought we were all 'goners', but some 'agility-god' was watching out for us.

I am so thankful for Lana being with me, and to the ranch hands that let us wait in their house for the parametics and highway patrol, and to my vet who waited for us to bring Lillan in. She wound up with stitches over her eye. After a few months of healing and going to Physical Therapy, we are ready to hit the road again--traveling to agility trials down in CO. Our first one of the year is in Mar and we are ready!!

My Ford Freestar mini van and Lillan's crate. The crate was crumpled around her, saving her from being thrown around.
