First Junior Bio Page

Philip Myers, is a 13 year old who lives in PA. At last years CWCCA National Specialty, the Juniors judge, Robert Caldwell, handed him the Best Junior ribbon! There were many juniors for him to beat! Also, he was named #1 Junior Handler of the year 2001. In other words, he was the junior that defeated the most juniors. That's very impressive! Also, at the 2001 Ohio State Fair 4H competition, Philip won 1st in showmanship out of over 40 exhibitors! Wow! Philip was ranked the #1 Cardigan Junior Handler in 2002!!
Philip's dog also needs some recognition for helping him get all those wins! Ch.Ricochet's Mark of Zorro has had a great year winning many BOB and one group placing! Zorro is a 2 year old dog who has come a long way and has bonded very much with his handler, Philip. We are all very proud of them both!

Ferris Beashau,lives in North Eastern Ohio and has 3 cardis. She is 17 years old and competes in the open senior class. Truman, is her obedience dog and she got his CD last year. He has five breed points on him but he didn't turn out the way they'd hoped. Her second dog is Brody. He earned his championship in 13 months with limited showing. Ferris is working with him in obedience. Sometimes she shows her brother's bitch, Twyla. She is close to her CH title, and so far she has ten points and only needs a major.
Ferris is a senior in high school. She had a tremendous summer in 2002 when she finished Brody, and at the same show got a group 1 in a huge puppy match with her brother's dog. Then she went on to be chosen as best junior handler by Cathy Ochs-Cline at the second day of the CWCCWR specialty. During the all breed show that same weekend she placed 4th in a large entry of open seniors. Ferris then went on to St. Clair Michigan and was 3rd place in open seniors and the judge was Marianne Gladstone. The same weekend Truman and she earned the third leg of his CD. Even when she doesn't place, she normally makes the cut in large classes up to 50 entries! Ferris was tied for the rank of #4 cardigan junior handler in 2002 in the country even though she does very limited showing.

Susan Parker, a 14 year old, lives in OH with her 2 cardigans. She hasn't been in the showing world for over a year yet so she doesn't have many wins. But she is already in Open Senior and gets placed or wins in smaller shows and normally makes the cut in bigger shows! It's always those darn setters who take the win! Then again, Susan was ranked 11th Cardigan Junior Handler in 2002, not too bad for a rookie. But she is normally somewhat successful and when she isn't in the ring, she's at home training her 2 cardigans for agility or conformation.
Maris, Ch. Social's Secret Identity, is her main juniors dog, a dark brindle female who is 7 years of age. She has had one litter of puppies and is now spayed. Susan and Maris recently started training for agility and Maris is apparently catching on really fast and loves to go to class! Maris' favorite obstacle seems to be either the A-frame or the Dog-walk because she is above everybody else! Susan plans to take her to some trials to see what she can really do! I hope I can tell more later about how great Maris is doing at agility! Also, Susan is the webmaster of this site! So she is busy maintaining it for everybody!

Update: Susan placed 3rd place at the George Alston Seminar out of 18 beginners! She was handling her 7 year old juniors dog.
