BISS UKC/ISWS CH ALLAGANTE SAHARA STARFYRE ISWS FCH, IC, SRC, RN, CGC
Sahara was born at Allagante Silkens, one of four in the desert litter.
She is a delightful, confident puppy and makes friends wherever she goes.
Sahara also has many interests but her favorites are at the opposite ends of the spectrum, running and cuddling.
She is a talker who is very vocal in her demands. When she plays, she sounds like a baby bear which tends to frighten those that don’t know her.
Miss Sahara doesn’t quite have control of her tail yet and it happily goes every which way as she moves.
She is a little sunbeam and we tell her every day that we love her and that we’re so glad she’s in our lives.
Sahara has started entering Obedience and Rally-Obedience trials and received her first qualifying leg for Rally in her first trial with a score of 180. ASCA Rally-O differs from AKC Rally in that honor stations are included in Novice and signs for more the advanced classes in AKC are included in ASCA's Novice classes. ASCA scores out of 200 as opposed to AKC's 100. Sahara earned her second leg in Rally Novice with a score of 197; her third leg earning her Rally Novice Championship was a perfect score of 200 on June 11, 2011. On the same day she earned her first leg in Rally Advanced with a score of 187. She earned her first leg in Novice Obedience on March 13, 2011.
