 | MACH3, ADCH-Silver, NATCH, ATCH, U-AGII BasqueLaine-Montage Secret Agent LAA-Silver, TM-Platinum, JCH-Gold, SCH-Gold, GCH-Silver, MXF, O-TN-E, WV-E, TG-E, SJ, RN, SS, WETT, HIC, CGC, TDI "Maxwell" was owned by Rusty Pearson in Dallas, TX. Maxwell was born for agility. He had the heart and soul of a champion. He was an amazing athlete, totally bold and fearless -- check out the photos of him leaping along tall hay rolls as a little puppy. In 2005, he earned dual championships in USDAA and NADAC in 6 months. Click here to see a quicktime clip from the 2004 Clean Run 60 Weave Pole Challenge. At 4 years, he added a MACH, and then MACH2 a year later. With the speed to beat world team Border Collies, Maxwell became a major force. At the 2006 AKC Eukanuba Agility Invitational, he won 1st, 3rd, 2nd and 2nd places in the first 4 rounds of the 24 inch division, going into the final round at the top of the board. At the 2007 Invitational, he brought home a 1st and two 2nds. In his 5th year of competing, he added an ASCA championship. In his 6th year, in the USDAA 26" division, he completed the 45 Qs from each game (Standard, Jumpers, Snooker, Gamblers, and Relay) for ADCH-Silver status. He was the 2nd Terv to earn this and also the 2nd Terv to earn a Snooker Champion Gold and Jumpers Champion Gold. Inbetween trials, he became a registered therapy dog, certified in open level water rescue, and earned a dock dogs senior jumpers title for long distance big air jumping. He also sired the Montage Speed Litter. In 2009, Maxwell had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his breatbone. A few months later he was able to compete at the USDAA Colorado Regionals. There, he finished off the last of the five Qs he had still needed to earn the 250 Team, Steeplechase and Grand Prix Qs for the Lifetime Achievement Award Silver title! He is the 2nd Tervuren to ever accomplish this. He topped off his incredible weekend by winning 1st place in the Performance Grand Prix, beating many younger BCs to do it, and took home a beautiful trophy for Rusty to treasure. Unfortunately, the cancer returned soon after and Maxwell left us on 11/05/09. I could fill this page with Maxwell's accomplishments. He made a huge mark in the agility world, proving many times over that a Tervuren is capable of beating Border Collies at the highest levels. He had quite a fan crowd and I know he will always be an inspiration to so many people. Maxwell will never be forgotten. |
| MACH5, ADCH BasqueLaine-Montage Secret Passage TQX, SACH, JCH, SCH, TM, MSA, MJ, MG, MR, EAC, EGC. EJC, TN-O, TG-O, RN, CGC "Merlin" is owned by Marti and Ray Wiseman in Pittsburgh, PA. Marti and Ray have been active competitors in agility and obedience with other dogs. Merlin is their first Tervuren. Merlin passed the very rigorous Therapy Dogs International certification test at just 12 months of age, and has spread much joy as a working ocupational therapy dog. In agility, like his brother Maxwell, he has been highly successful. Merlin is fast, focused, and very consistent. With Marti handling, Merlin finished his 20th QQ for a MACH just after his 5th birthday. Just a couple of months after earning his MACH, he finished his ADCH (USDAA Championship), which requires earning three extremely difficult to attain Super Q's. At age 6, in May of 2008, he earned his MACH2 and quickly amassed MACH3 QQs, earning #17 & 18 in December, the weekend of his 7th birthday. In 2008, Merlin Q'd in 62 out of 73 AKC runs, making his overall Q rate 85%, and he keeps getting better and better - looking at July-December '08, he Q'd in 31 out of 34 runs (91%). That is absolutely amazing consistency at this level of competition. Merlin earned QQs#19 & 20 in 1/09 and completed his last few MACH3 points on 2/7/09 with two 1st place runs, Marti running one of them and husband Ray the other! He completed his MACH 4 just six months later! Merlin continues to steadily earn QQs. He started off 2010 by running 6 for 6 in one weekend in standard, jumpers and fast to finish his TQX title - a 100% Q rate. He earned his MACH5 on May 2, 2010. |

BasqueLaine-Montage Save the World MX, MXJ, NF "Connor" lives with Darcy Ferrentino, in Denver, and is co-owned with Kelley Hoffman, BasqueLaine. Connor is very dynamic with tons of pizzaz and nonstop intensity. He is yet another agility performer, now trialing in Excellent B at Masters level. He has 6 QQs and over 400 speed points toward his MACH. Connor has demonstrated his stable temperament by accompanying Darcy to children's therapy group at the facility where she works. He loves everything and everyone. His only failing is a strong desire to chase chickens! Luckily, there aren't many chickens at agility trials. While he has been on a break from agility due to Darcy's move west, we hope to see them back in the ring soon. |
| Montage-BasqueLaine Seek the Truth RN, HIC "Scully" lives with Diane & Scott Vanisko in Manorville NY, and also shares her home with Beach kid Jetty. Scully is a lightning fast, intense girl, quick to learn and showing much enthusiasm and working ability in many activities including ground hog hunting. Diane has enjoyed trialing with her in Rally-Obedience. Scully earned her Rally Novice title with 3 Q's in a row, all scores in the 90's, including 3rd place, 2nd place, and titling with a 1st place/98 out of 100! She made her Rally Advanced debut with another Q/3rd place, and is now 4 for 4 in Qs! Diane has been busy with work and garden projects but we hope to see this dynamic team return to the rally ring soon. |

 | BasqueLaine Maximum Sons of Liberty Can. HT "Hero" is owned by Ian Morby and family in Mechanicsville NY, and co-owned with Darcy Ferrentino. He is a small, compact, well-balanced dog with lots of mahogany red coat. He has exquisite type and perhaps the most perfect head in all Tervdom. Fast and agile, with tons of enthusiasm for working, Hero always has a sparkle of mischief in his eyes. He is now neutered and is mainly a family companion but Ian has enjoyed agility classes with Hero and we may yet see them in the ring. Hero is the sire of the Montage-BasqueLaine Daredevils litter . |
| BasqueLaine-Montage Super Spy "Sly" is owned by Melissa Nathan and her children Mira and Matty, and they live in Glendale AZ. Sly is their first Tervuren. He is a merry, lively dog with a wonderful attitude about everything he does. He is friendly and outgoing and loves going on family outings. Sly has the athleticism and drive to do performance sports, but mainly enjoys being a much loved family companion. |
