Anna's Page

                             

        Hi! My name is Anna Pearson. And look at this! My very own page! Wa hoo!!!! Ok, ok, time to settle down. I'm 12 years old, I'll be 13 in April. Up in the heading is my dog Jack, but we'll talk about him later. I'm in open intermediate in AKC (American Kennel Club) and I'm also in open  in ASCA ( Australian Shepherd Club of America). In AKC I'll have about 16-24 other kids in my class, in ASCA I have about 6-10+ kids. I'm not sure how many kids are in the jr. classes everywhere else, but I'm happy when I have only 10 kids in my class!^_^ I'm not sure if I'll be a profesional handler one day, but I know that I'll always show my dogs and show other's dog's as well. Before every dog show, I look around the show site to find a heads up penny which I then put in my shoe for good luck. I know, it sounds stupid, but it's my little "secret weapon of luck".

      I've been showing aussies in ASCA pee wee since I was 2 years old, ah! Those were the days! You got a toy and a rosette for just entering!Now I have to work hard to win. Both Jack and I are enrolled in a handling class, off and on obediance, we'll be starting an agility class this weekend, we've been in 4-H for 3 years, and we'll be starting a trick class soon.  But enough about me, let's talk about my dogs!

    I have four total dogs, Jack, Dasher (Jack's son), Shelby (also Jack's son), and Jazz. So here they all are!


This is a picture of Jack (4) and I at Enimclaw Wa in 2007.

Sorry, this one isn't the best picture, but this is Jack and I at fair,2007. Jack went Best of Breed, then took a group 1 under Sandy Frei who's husband announces the Westminister dog show!
This is Jack and I taking Reserve Junior Handler at an ASCA show in 2006, we got the same award in 2007 as well, and hope to do the same or better this year.
Ah! And plain old good Jack!
