Rave Moy

Rave is our foundation bitch.  She came from Alison McIntosh at Moyhall Farm.  She is out of Astra Bridie (Jersey) and TNT's Southern Blend (Cagen).  She's matured into a lovely dog.  Rave is a high energy, high drive girlie with a nice off switch.  She has a ton of potential in agility though I haven't devoted nearly enough time to her training.  She has shown some instinct of sheep as well but there's no time for that either!  Rave is a retrieving fool and could do that for hours.  She loves to train and will work for food or toys.  She's pretty middle of the road, not too soft but not too hard headed, making her a joy to train.  Rave loves the water.  She's a great swimmer, loves the pool, the waves at the beach and killing the hose.

Rave is incredibly athletic, scaling a 42" baby gate with ease.  She is very, very fast and we often call her our gazelle.  She stands 19.25" tall and weighs 35lbs.  Her structure is quite good with nice front and rear angulation.  She has a nice long back and is very flexible.  Rave is super friendly with people and is pretty submissive to new dogs.  Within the pack, she is a middle of the pack female though she can be herdy with the other dogs and has picked our mini Aussie Bliss as her chosen "sheep".  Here's her pedigree:

Rave is OFA Good, Elbows Normal, PennHip 80%, CEA Normal, CERF clear and MDR1 -/-.  She is ABCA, CBCA and AKC registered.  Here's some pictures of our "prettiest princess":
