Charm

CH Montage Beach Talisman MX, MXJ, NF, PD1, PT, CGC, TDI "Charm"  was a Montage stud dog co-owned with Darcy Ferrentino (Talisman Tervuren). Charm was big and flashy, with a happy, bouncy atttiude and lots of presence and style in the show ring. He loved agility but, sadly, an injury prevented him from finishing his MACH just 2 QQs away. His character was very outgoing and friendly, and he was extremely stable with no noise sensitivities. He was drivey and intense but also had great sweetness. He worked with children and teenagers in a psychiatric outpatient therapy dog program that Darcy pioneered. As a stud dog Charm consistently produced dynamic, performance-oriented offspring with great temperament, bone and coat. He sired the the Montage Charmers Litter out of Montage Midsummer Night's Dream NA NAJ CGC TDI "Summer," the Blackcomb Enchanted Litter out of Can. CH Hexen House Iserah, and the BasqueLaine Run for the Roses Litter out of Mahagonny's Rites of Passage HIC "Marissa." Charm was a benefit to his breed and I am very proud of him. He passed on just shy of his 16th birthday and lives on in our hearts.

GRCH/ARCH/CT-ATCH3/ChWC Montage Beach Blanket Bingo CD, RE, OA, NAJ, PT, JHD, UR01, RL3, RL2, RL1X, R1CL, NGC, NAC, TN-N, CGC "Annette"   was owned by Susan Geers-Meiners and Natasha Ghearing in Ohio. Annette was multi-talented, doing agility and obedience/rally with Susan and Juniors conformation with Natasha. She earned a UKC Grand Championship in agility, as well as an APDT Rally Obedience Championship, and a PT in sheep herding. She was AKC and UKC major pointed, with some exciting wins including the Senior Females class at the 2005 UBSDA National, the Herding Titled Females class at the 2006 ABTC National, and a 4 point major at the AKC Cleveland Classic. She won the UBSDA National Belgian Biathalon in both 2007 and 2008, as well as the Belgian Triathalon Award twice. These awards are scored by cumulative points from both performance and conformation. Annette also made the UKC Agility All-Stars Invitational 5 times! Each year, the top 50 UKC agility dogs are ranked by points drawn from all breeds and all jump heights. It is therefore no small thing to be in the top 50. These top dogs are invited to the UKC Premier Show to compete. At the 2011 Inivitational, after winning Best Veteran at the Premier, Annette competed in agility for a retirement performance with two perfect scores and ended with one last CPE weekend earning her 4th career Agility Championship for her CT-ATCH3. She passed on to the bridge at 13 years old. I am so proud of all that she accomplished!

Jetty

Montage Island Beachcomber PT "Jetty"  was owned and adored by Scott and Diane Vanisko, in Manorville NY. Jetty was their first Tervuren. He was a very active, intense dog and kept everyone laughing with his antics. He had excellent herding ability and used to herd sheep every week with Diane from 5 months old on. When the sheep left, Diane began training him in Rally-Obedience and they Q'd their first time out for a RN leg. The time constraints of work prevented a competition career, but Jetty was a happy companion with lots of attention and love. He was also devoted to the 2nd Terv added to the household, Scully, and when she passed on suddenly at age 14, he quickly followed. He is deeply missed but his joyful spirit lives on.

Montage Life's A Beach CGC "Colby"  was owned and loved by Caitlyn McNelis and family in Scotch Plains NJ. He was a much-loved companion for 15 1/2 years. Colby and Caitlyn fell in love at first sight and were rarely parted from each other. During his long, happy life, Colby was a poster boy for American Greetings Cards. I especially love te 2007 Calender "A Year of Puppies." Colby is on the page for May 31. Every year the family gave Colby a big birthday party and never forgot to send me photos. He will always be loved and treasured.

Mandy

Montage Mandalay Point Beach CGC "Mandy"  was owned by Sandra Ziglar in Raleigh, NC. She was mainly been a pet companion to Sandra and her family. She did her puppy clases and earned a CGC for her for her good temperament and manners. Sandra also had grand fun with agility training on and off over the years. Mandy passed on at age 11 1/2 from an unknown illness that took her suddenly after just a few days. She lived her life to the fullest and was greatly loved.

Montage Beach Waves Roaring "Rory"  was owned for his first 4 years by Pat Fuhrer in Columbia, MD. Due to encroaching health problems, Pat made the heartbreaking decision to place Rory and he returned to the Montage family to become Amanda Knapp's companion in Syracuse NY. Amanda's mother and Aunt have Montage dogs form the same lineage so Rory went to family. He had an impressive repertoire of tricks, including balancing cookies and bubbles on his nose! He was quite the character. Rory passed on at almost 13 years old, leaving a huge hole in all our hearts.
