'Ranger'
  

There are dogs that walk this planet that encompass all things defined as an incredible 'companion' and possess the qualities of those dogs the best stories have been written about over the years by people whose lives they have touched.  Ranger is one of those dogs and I am one of the people who can be counted fortunate enough to have had their life touched by an incredible dog like this.  During a year of his life, Ranger served as my teacher, agility companion and even guardian on our many journeys to agility trials.  

What started out as an 'experiment' to teach me about tracking turned into a life long lesson about Blitzen shepherds that turned into a piece of my history that will never leave me because of this awesome dog!  Ranger is a shepherd with the heart and drive of a champion that he showed on and off the agility field.  More than that  ~ his sense of humor, impeccable demeanor and love of play endeared him instantly to many people that, to this day, ask me about him at trials.  My deepest gratitude to Pam Juliano for thinking of pairing me with this wonderful dog and Bill Marek, Ranger's Owner, for the opportunity to spend time with his dog on an adventure that will last me the years until I have my own Blitzen German Shepherd!  During our brief time together, Ranger earned 13 agility titles across three agility venues, UKC, NADAC and CPE.
