Below are Eleanor's comments on her wonderful GSP "Price" who is in the top 5 obedience GSPs for 2008. Eleanor declined the invitation due to East Coast/West Coast distances but I hope that she knows that we are all very proud of her accomplishments....
In addition to competing in obedience, Price is a breed champion, a working therapy dog, and has appeared in both print and TV advertisements and has done agility, too. But Price’s great passion in life, is water retrieving. He would have been a fabulous duck dog as he marks well, will leap into the coldest water (he has swum in Massachusetts in the snow on Christmas Eve, jumps off docks in Maine in the summer) and will search endlessly for whatever he is asked to retrieve.
Price was the 2007 GSPCA Obedience Dog of the Year and earned his UDX in October. He is now semi-retired from obedience competition. I am very proud that both Sydney and Price have earned invitations to the AKC Invitational over the last few years. They have never attended, because I made the decision that flying them cross country for just one day of competition was simply not something we were going to do. But both have competed in the All Star Tournament held bi-annually in York, PA. In 2001, Price earned 5th place in the Novice Division at that tournament.
And finally, Price’s son was invited to the AKC breed invitational both in 2007 and 2008! The tradition continues…
