"When I set out to search for our third dog, I had specific requests for our newest addition.  I wanted a fairly high drive dog that would do well in agility, conformation and hopefully coursing.  Phancy has met and exceeded all of my expectations and is truly a VERSATILE Pharaoh Hound!

     Phancy's registered name is CharmedWons Phlash of Bling.  I chose that name because she is going to be just a flash in the agility ring.  We had to have a B word, and instead of BOSSY (which she is!), I chose Bling because her name is Phancy.  She was named after one of my favorite songs by Reba McEntire "Fancy".

     Phancy lives with Femi the Pharaoh Hound who is the first female agility MACH and soon to be first female MACH2. Femi is now 7 so her agility career will be limited showing but we have goals of a MACH3. Femi is very diva and does not enjoy chasing a plastic bag nor does she enjoy the structure of a obedience/rally ring.

    Lindy our mellow Rhodesian Ridgeback enjoys spending his days at work with my husband. We love the calmness he brings to our household. Lindy absolutely loves Phancy and has enjoyed having her in the house. He will even run around the yard with her which if you knew Lindy is amazing!

    We have 2 cats - Hercules and Bella. All of the dogs love Hercules because he acts just like the dogs. Bella likes to make quick movements and run so they like to chase her :)

     Phancy has a wonderful temperament and loves people and other dogs.  She has been with Femi and me at agility shows since a young puppy so she can handle just about any situation.  She is always up for a game of fetch which can be Frisbee, tennis ball or anything you can throw.  Although she does not swim, yet, Phancy loves the water and will retrieve her Frisbee out of the water.  Her favorite foods include, but are not limited to---- rabbit, turkey, green tripe and bully sticks.  She is not a picky eater.

     Phancy has excelled in coursing, racing, rally, conformation and soon the agility ring! Since she enjoys the conformation ring and finished easily, we will show her when there is a local opportunity. She will always be owner handled because the wins are always much sweeter! Phancy finished her AKC Lure Coursing Championship in just 3 days before earning her SC. We will continue to show her in lure coursing because she loves it so much. Phancy loves the Rally ring and we are working toward our RA! She has been in agility training since she came home as a puppy. Phancy loves agility and I know she will be wonderful and give those Border Collies a run for that 1st place ribbon! She has wonderful weave polls and obstacle performance. Her first show will be in Nashville, TN at the end of January 2008 for 2 days! After her first show we will evaluate her performance and then decide when she will start trialing more consistently. Watch out . . . here she comes!!!"   (10/18/2007)
