  HC HCH Alamar's Play It Again Sam
"Mike"

December 21st, 2004 - January 20th, 2009
It is with a heavy heart that we watched Mike cross the rainbow bridge where he will run the hills and work until we join him again.

Although Alamar's Play It Again Sam left us much too early, his accomplishments were many. In his short 4 years with us he completed 2 herding championships, in AKC as well as AHBA. He finished 2008 in the top 5 in the United States in Advanced Herding Competition. He won multiple High and Reserve High In Trial awards and could always be counted on to keep the Alamar name in the top standings where ever we went. He loved to work and will always be remembered standing at the post with his best buddy, Alan, waiting for the words to go to work.

Mike lays in the field he once worked in, next to the first Mike, his namesake. The name will be retired here at Alamar.

Mike was one we will miss more than most for his sweet temperament. He will live on in our hearts and will always be remembered.

Domino has gone to live with our good friends Anna and John Leal, owners of “Alamar’s Winning Hand HT, PT, HSAS HTAD I ”  John has been training Domino and trialing him and they make an Awesome duo!  We are so happy for both John and Domino.

Domino is a dog out of Rosie and Spur. He
has a lot of drive, a sweet personality like his mother and has his
father's power.  He is a very willing worker and loves to please. He is very much a puppy at 2 ½ but is very serious about his work.  He works with a lot of style and never tires.  He already has a High in Trial to his name and is promising good things in the future.

sweet disposition of her mother and father and the stock sense of them
as well.

   
 

Alibi's Top Secret Texan NA HS STDs

On October 25th, Agent made his way over the rainbow bridge where he
waits for us to come to him. Agent was my best buddy for 10 years. He
gave me all he had as a stock dog and a friend. He took care of me when
we traveled and guarded our stuff at many shows. He lives on in his
kids, Favor and Jynx. I miss you buddy, every day

Alibi's Texas Storm CD HS NA OA PT Stds CGC

April 18, 1991 - September 30,2004

On September 30th, Storm crossed the rainbow bridge where she plays
with Biscuit the pug and Katie Bassett Hound. She was Alan's first
Agility dog and the reason Alamar Aussie's exist today. She was the one
by which all others were measured. I am sure she is ruling the roost
there like she did at home. We miss her so much...

 

 

Alibi's Texas Tornado, PT,NA,CGC

Spinner was our second Aussie. He was born 1/24/92. He is a blue merle.

On May 23rd, 2005, Spinner joined his friends over the rainbow bridge. He was one by which many were compared. To his friends he will always be known as the one with a sense of humor. He never ceased to amaze us with his ability to figure things out. Usually things to make me crazy. He rests now with his friends in the fields he loved to play in and will be forever missed. There will never be another one like you! We loved you Spin!

Mike the Dog

Mike was our first Border Collie. Alan wanted a dog to be competitive in Herding competitions. Mike lived up to that dream. Unfortunately his life was shorter than we'd hoped. He has passed on now, but will never be forgotten.
