Abbie was our
first PRT. Abbie has many nicknames, perhaps the most descriptive one is
the Queen, The Queen of Everyting. Though Abbie's Breeder, Lee Sweitzer has passed, a day doesn't go by when I don't silently thank Lee for Abbie. She is a brillant dog. We've often comment that it was a good thing that she was spayed because her offspring could have conquered the world.
Abbie is a splendidly trained pookie. Despite a third place at the Specialty in Hatboro in 2002 we opted to spay Abbie. She hated the showring. Instead of excelling in the show ring Abbie excels at manipulating humans. She has trained humans from very young ages all the way to eighty year olds. All her humans have one primary function,
bringing Abbie tribute, either in the form or affection or treats.
Abbie earned her Junior Earthdog title and a Maple Apple at the Greater Twin Cities Sumac Cairn Terrier Club in September 2005. She went on to earn her Senior Earthdog Title at Roscoe in June 2006. She is a stellar hunter, much to the dismay of wildlife in our woods. I am certain rabbit mothers tell stories of Abbie to keep their baby bunnies in line.
