Joy was the product of my very first attempt at breeding shelties. Named before she was even born, she has lived up to her name "Joy" in every way. Joy had won High in Trial awards in both obedience and agility. She had breed points and group placings in the AKC breed ring, as well as multiple UKC Best in Shows.

On her many trips to Bermuda, she received several Veteran Best in Shows. Finally, her many achievements in the USA gave her the honor of receiving the prestigious ASSA "Versatility Certificate" (VC). She was the picture of versatility and only limited by me.

In England, Joy continued her winning ways. Her many successes include an All Breed Best Veteran in Show, Winning out of Elementary Agility and many placements in obedience.

Joy was always a joy to train, live with and love. Our house is now empty without her but I am grateful for having her in our lives for nearly 15 years. All my shelties will forever be compared to her. She was perfect.
