Agility! Talking long walks (especially at the pond), my 5" squeaky basketball, , herding (when I get the chance), sticks, June bugs, teasing my sister Gracie, herding Wolfie, , dogging Wiggy, chasing birds, canoeing with my Mom, , walking the Indy 500 track on Mutt Strutt Day!
Music
I really like the sound of flapping birds -- that means I can herd them. Is that music? It sure is to my ears!
I think my heroes are dogs that do service work for humans -- like those dogs that do search and rescue, sit with children to help them read, guide the blind and disabled and dogs that help the police. And Lassie of course!

Thought it may be fun to tell you where I came from. My birth Mom and four of my brothers and sisters arrived at the Southside Animal Shelter in Indianapolis, Indiana sometime in August 2004. We were rescued.
They think I was born on June 25th, 2004, but they don't know where, and that I'm a sheltie. The shelter folks named me Ben (on the left) and my brother Jerry, funny huh? My new mom renamed me Johann, after Johann Sebastian Bach.
My mom raised us well, And all of us were adopted to wonderful, but different families. That doesn't make me sad, because as of September 3, 2004 I have a great new home and two new brothers Wolfie and Wiggy, and as of March 2006, a new sister Gracie.
Agility is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I've been training in agility since June 2005 and competing in USDAA since December 2005 and AKC since May 2006 -- so far I have my MX and MXJ in AKC and my MAD, JC, AD, AJ, AS, AG and AR in USDAA. I am a 2007 Cynosport World Games Dog Agility Grand Prix and Steeplechase Qualifier, and a 2008 DAM Team Qualifier. AGILITY ROCKS!

Thank you Larry Merrill, for choosing me Dog of the Day on Dog Each Day!!
Hey Johann, it has been forever since I dropped in to say hello. I have been having to share time with the computer with Eros. GRRRR, little kitty brothers are a PAIN. I am doing GREAT. Getting ready for lizard season. The squirrels are all over already and the little Screech Owl is back. All is right in my back yard. I hope you and your family is doing well. Take care and I will woof at you later.
