I think Lissa opened up the door to a lot of people to do more with their Parsons. A lot of people, myself included, are told they can't do certain things with their Parsons - that they are too high energy to be good at obedience; that they are too independent to work well. But Lissa has done so much with her dogs that she really defies all of the stereotypes about what these dogs are or are not capable of. Certainly, I myself am more inclined to try different events knowing dogs like Lissa's Oz have accomplished so much in so many different venues.

Devon's registered name is Foxer's Moon Kindred Spirit. He's the first Parson Russell Terrier I've ever owned. In fact, he's the first terrier and the first small dog I've ever owned. I'd always wanted a small terrier but I heard such negative things about them from other dog people that I thought I might never have one. But when I saw how many agility people had them and loved them, I took the leap. And I'm so glad I did. Devon is such a great companion, he makes me laugh all the time.  What surprised me about him is how much he loves to work. He gets just as excited as [my border collie] when we head up to the agility field to train or pull up to a trial site. It's been challenging to get used to handling a small dog but I love how eager he is to learn and how easily he picks up new things. Devon is still very green and just learning a lot of things but I'm looking forward to a very long and ejoyable partnership with him.

Deuce is a delightful puppy. She has boundless energy and is the star of both her puppy agility class and her puppy kindergarten class. She loves to learn and is a thinking dog. It is fun to watch her think her way through a problem to a solution. This little puppy is fearless and just wants to have fun. Best of all she is very friendly and loves everyone she meets both human and canine. It would be impossible not to be in totally love with this happy girlie.
