     As predicted by our friends, the “conformation” bug was going to hit us someday.  When Lucas came to our home we were showing Sydney in Obedience.  We had watched a lot of Conformation and decided to take the plunge.  Lucas was our first conformation dog and the first male Aussie in the house.  After a little handler training, Lucas made his big debut.  He was awarded "Best Puppy" at his first show and has taken a few class wins and a Reserve WD as an adult.  Lucas has a flowing sidegait, a striking red coat and a wonderful disposition.
     We pulled Lucas from the Conformation ring to allow him to mature.  Lucas is a great dog but he didn't turn into the 'showdog' we were looking for.  But he is the "Big Dog" in our hearts so he is staying right here with us.  In the mean time we've worked him in basic Obedience.  We don't get to work him as often as we like but it started to pay off with an effortless CGC.  He ran through it like it like it was nothing.  I really need to get off my backside and get this boy out there.    Wish us luck.
