Lock-Eye's Making the Grade, NA, NAJ - Quiz (Vip X Lazer)

Quiz and Julie

I welcomed Lock-Eye's Making the Grade - Quiz (Vip X Lazer) into my life in July of 2003. He was shipped with his brother Zap and they were as happy as could be after making the plane trip from Oklahoma to San Diego. Quiz was already clicker savvy when he arrived (via Michelle), so the fun started immediately.
Quiz is primarily an agility dog - and has just started his career and finished his Novice Standard and Jumpers titles in AKC. He is an exceptionally smooth and fluid dog to work - he jumps with ease and is totally responsive and biddable. Unlike many BC's he goes to the line without a "peep". Calm and collected to the line and on the start line stay - but once you say "go", he's completely ON. (What a boy!) I look forward to a long and successful agility career with Quiz. Quiz also dabbles in other venues as well. It is evident that Quiz is a "water collie". He has been swimming and diving since he arrived in San Diego. He adores water and "swim herding". He earned his Novice Dock Diving Title (for fun) in Scottsdale, Az. He is fabulous on the lure course - quite breathtaking to watch at top speed. He has been tested on sheep and shows great promise - very strong eye and will stand up for himself without being overly aggressive. We just started Disc dog and will hopefully compete in some distance events in the future. Quiz LOVES his Frisbee - so I think if I can learn to throw, he will do quite well.
Quiz is also a "tug-o-holic" and will do anything for a good tugging session - which is exactly what I asked Michelle for, she delivered!!! I am so happy with all Quiz has accomplished and become - he is easy to live with and fun to work with. Quiz is even quite the cuddle bug when he's all done "working". He lives with my four other dogs, cat, cockatoo, rabbit, and tortoise, he is very respectful of all the little critters and would never dream of harming them. However, the cockatoo does chase him about a little bit, and Quiz humors him. Quiz is everything I asked for in a companion and agility partner and I appreciate all the work Michelle does with her pups, getting them off to the right start and matching them to the right person.
