Shalyea von Reid
No Pedigree
DOB: 14 Feb 2001
Shaylea has been my companion dog for over 10 years and has psychotic ball drive, unbridled speed, and marathon endurance. She is a true "Alpha" female, protecting her territory at all costs and runs the house. At 69 pounds, her compact frame and light overall body composition makes for a sprint competition with the younger male. Although he is younger, but heavier. She always wins!
I purchased her for my youngest son's birthday, little did I know she would be my dog for another 10 years. She loves people, as long as I introduce them, they are her freind for life. She is quick to announce any stranger's or other non-familiar persons upon scent or presence. She was my security/ alarm system when I lived alone.
I was deployed to Iraq in 2003 when I decided Shaylea shoud attend some sort of obedience course. I did some research on obedience training techniques and decided Schutzhund was the my choice for Shaylea.
When I returned from Iraq I joined the Cypress Working Dog Club in Alexandria, LA and this is what began, and has continued to fire, my interest in Schutzhund and working dogs.
Although spayed and never bred, she was the mothering canine to Bronco upon his arrival in 2004.
Shaylea is Schutzhund trained in general obedience and loves any kind of retrieve (dumbell, ball, stick, or shoe) and has a fetish for destroying soccerballs.
