Border Bay's Ewe Make Sparks Fly AX, AXJ, MXF "Sparky" is 4 years of age. He LOVERS to work and is always an eager volunteer - plus he LOVES to cuddle! He was breed by Greg & Cokie Hamm, Mass US.

David Maurer, of Urbana, Ohio, became involved in obedience in 1975 when a dislocated shoulder derailed his baseball career. Over the past 28 years he has earned over seven utility degrees and four OTCHs. Winning the German Shepherd Dog Club of America National and Obedience Victrix award in 1979 were important career highlights.
His highly successful breeding program is devoted to obedience German Shepherd Dogs, several of which have gone on to earn obedience titles and tracking degrees. In all, his dogs have earned more than 50 obedience degrees and four OTCHs. Mr. Maurer began judging obedience in 1980, crediting George and Louis Pugh with his start.

 He has since judged the first AKC National Obedience Invitational in St. Louis, The 2003 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, as well as several other obedience championship events and national specialty shows. A well-known obedience expert, he is a fixture on the seminar circuit. Mr. Maurer has been a member of the Dayton Dog Training Club for 25 years. In all his years of showing and judging, the real highlight of his career, he says, are the many friends he has met through the sport.

Bobbie Anderson: After participating last year (2010) Bobbie set a goal to come back to Crufts in 2011. She single handedly got together a team and as a group they raise money by hosting seminars and publishing a cook book to be able to afford the expenses. Due to circumstances beyond her control she will not be able to make it. I feel it is only right that she remains a part of this team. She defiantly is here in spirit.

Bobbie started training in 1970 and teaching classes in 1976. She has trained Board Collies, German Shepards, English Cockers, and Shelties to name a few. During this time she has achieved over 80 AKC titles (7 OTCH’s, 7 TD’s, Many UD’s & UDX’s, over 100 HIT’s) 

Bobbie is the author of “Building Blocks for Performance” which suggests a variety of positive methods to give your puppy a head start toward performance events! (If some one can tell me the name of the award her book received through AKC, I will but it in).
