Freda

 
My name is Freda Thiel and I am excited about joining the staff at Blue Springs.  I started training my dog, Beau, in obedience at Blue Springs in 1994 when he was 6 mos. old.  I had never trained a dog before and a whole new world opened up to me.  By 1997 we had earned a TD, CD and Championship.  In 1998 Chance, Beau's brother, joined the family.  Chance has earned a UDX2, a TD and a Senior Hunter title.  We are presently working on his advanced tracking titles ( TDX and VST) , Master Hunter and competing in obedience.   In 2000 Barbara Handler asked me to assist her with her obedience courses and I did so until the beginning of 2005.  One of my biggest thrills has to be when Beau earned his Champion Tracker title in 2002.  He became the first American Champion - Champion Tracker in the Golden Retriever breed.  In 2004 Chance's son, Wyatt, joined the family.
