What's
a Carillon?
Specifically, a Carillon is a
tower on top of a building that houses a
group of bells.
However, a more general definition is 'A group of bells working
together in
harmony'.
Our Group of Bells include:
James
Lee
Bell
Competitor and Agility
Instructor with Jumping Chollas Agility Club, he
has also dabbled a bit with Obedience and Working. He should be
completing his Agility Judge requirements very soon.
Tracie
L.
Bell
Has titled Aussies in Conformation, Working, Obedience, Agility, and
Weight Pull. She has previously worked as a Vet Tech and
Professional Groomer (handy skills to have when surrounded by a bunch
of
Aussies).
Taylor
Nicole
Bell
A young and aspiring Junior Handler, she has titled Aussies in
Conformation, Agility, and Weight Pull. She currently competes
with 'Falcon' and has trained him by herself. Taylor was a
2006/07/08 UKC Top Open Junior
Showmanship and Weight Pull
Qualifier, a 2007/08 UKC Top Junior Obedience Qualifier, and a 2008 UKC
Top Junior Agility Qualifier.
She took a 4th place in Obedience at the national Junior finals
at the 2008 UKC Premier. Taylor has won a UKC Best In Show
handling a Miniature Dachshund,
and has several Reserve Best In Shows handling various breeds.
Jordan
Amanda
Bell
Is an up and coming Junior Handler. She enjoys Junior
Showmanship and is thrilled that her big sister is no longer in the
same class. Jordan was a 2008 UKC Top Open Junior Showmanship
Qualifier. She has achieved qualifying runs in Agility
handling multiple dogs, and has earned her first Agility title with
Shades.
Alexandra
Jayde Bell
Competes in Junior
Showmanship at the Sub-Junior level and has just started with Agility.
However, she thinks that showmanship is a bit boring and she
would much rather be out there running with her dog. Ally's
already got her first two titles in NADAC Agility at the ripe old
age of
'seven'.
We
have been actively
involved
with the Australian Shepherd breed since 1990.
Although,
our families history with Aussies goes back even farther.
James
has a fun story about living with his first Aussie in a traveling
carnival in the 1970's. And Tracie ran through the backwoods
of
rural South Carolina with her families first Aussie in the early
1980's. Taylor, Jordan, and Ally have been surrounded by
Aussies
their entire lives. In fact, Taylor's first word was not
'Mommy'
or 'Daddy' like most kids. Her first word was 'Doggie'!
