Stellar
Stellar and Linda have an unparalleled relationship on and off the course. They have been successful at every major agility event including top honors at the AKC National Championships, USDAA World Championships, AKC World Team Tryouts, FCI World Championships and the AKC Agility Invitational.
Stellar is a good-natured fellow whose happy personality makes him seem like a black and white Golden Retriever. His talents are proving to extend beyond the agility course. Stellar has recently added a conformation Championship to his list of accomplishments. In addition, he is also demonstrating quite an aptitude for producing quality puppies. Just a few litters have been sired by Stellar, but thus far all of his pups display the same wonderful qualities and potential for success as their daddy.
