UACH Cheyenne PD1, CGC
This is Cheyenne, my mixed breed dog shortly after I caught her out of a parking lot where I worked. It took 3 days to catch her, and when I finally did, she knew she was mine....it took me a little longer. She was very thin and scared when I got her. My original guess as to breed(s) was cocker spaniel/saluki, cause she was so skinny.
This is Cheyenne in her prime...happy, healthy and born to do agility!!! You can see more

I have shown Cheyenne in UKC and USDAA agility. We did much more UKC, as that's what's available more often here. She has both her UAG1, UAG2 and UACH titles in UKC. In USDAA, she has her Performance Dog 1 title. She also has her Canine Good Citizenship. Before we moved to our current home, she also enjoyed visiting nursing homes. Cheyenne is mostly retired now, but I bring her out to let her run agility every so often. She has a minor back problem that makes her hurt sometimes after exercise, so I try to limit her...which isn't easy! But, we are able to do CPE agility now. She will stay in Level 2, where she doesn't have to weave very much. She was my first competition dog, the one who started it all. For that, I'll forever be greatful to her. Who would have thought that this little dog no one wanted would change my life so much.
Cheyenne is getting older now, and her body hair is starting to turn grey. She's always had a white face, but you can really see the grey in her back now. She doesn't run around as much, and sometimes seems a bit stiff. But, she's still able to jump up in my bed and she loves getting scratched and pet. And, she is still able to do a bit of agility every now and then...which she still loves.

Cheyenne spent much of her time at trials in her chair, watching the action (or mom walk the course!) In the photo on the right, I had left our seating area and Cheyenne was caught looking over my chair to see where I had gone (and yes, she was being supervised!).
Cheyenne is very good with the cats. Simon absolutely adores her, and usually tries to sleep with her. Sometimes, though, I think Cheyenne would just like to sleep in peace!
Sometimes Cheyenne ends up in bed with the wrong cat!!
