There aren't words to express how wonderful and talented she was.
Taz easily finished her Championship title.
But, Agility is her passion, as you see below:
And what can we say about her father,
CH Jenaid Thief of Hearts CDX CGC?
Thief earned his ROM in 2006. He and his sire, Merlin are one of the few father/son pairs to do so.
Taz's mother, Samantha, earned an AOM at the BCSA Specialty in 1999! She is recognized as a Noteworthy Dam by BCSA.

sired by AU/AM V CHX Wildfire Fidelis Bustin' Loose HSAs HIAs NA, "Paddy",
Tandy was everything we wanted when
we planned Taz's second and final litter.
We could not have been more pleased!
"Tandy was a true delight...
Always happy and friendly and ready
to go!
A quick learner, she made her own fun along the way."
"Tandy's pedigree is full of titled performance dogs, and she made them proud!"
You can tell by her expression that Taz took Agility very seriously!
In January 2009, she earned her MACh 1 in St Louis.
On Mother's Day weekend 2010, Taz earned her MACh 2 in Omaha.
In March 2011, Taz earned MACh 3 in Des Moines!
Any success we achieved in Agility was due in large part to Connie Apling , our instructor. We are sincerely appreciative of her encouragement and support.

In March 2012, Taz had emergency surgery to repair a torn CCL on her left side.
Nine months later, she was entered in her first trial post-surgery,
And, she had to have emergency surgery to repair a partial CCL tear on the right side.
In Taz's best interest, we officially retired her although she had 160 points and forty QQ's

"Taxi" is out of our CH BB Life's A Dance OA OAJ NF, "Tango"
With five lovely girls in the 'Brango' litter from which to choose,
Taxi is the one we kept for ourselves.
While preparing for her AKC debut, Taxi played in the UKC ring and was awarded Reserve Best in Show.
Taxi was well received in the breed ring.
While pursuing her breed championship,
she finished with three majors!
Taxi has the same effortless movement we've grown accustomed to seeing in our yard.
She is light on the leash and a pleasure to watch.
"Thank you Sheryl McCormick for
this lovely photo of our adolescent girl"!
Taxi's final time in the breed ring was at
the Border Collie National Specialty where she was awarded
Reserve Winner's Bitch, September 5, 2015.
Her sister Dibs, "CH Mine, Mine and That's Mine Too at Whistle-stop ", was Reserve Winner's Bitch two years earlier at BCSA Nationals !
who expertly handled both girls to their National titles!"
