Cheerio sees the coursing field as a blank page for creative interpretation.

Beautiful and brilliant, Cheerio is the love 0f our lives. Blessed with blinding speed and dizzying intellect, she refuses to run by anyone s rules but her own. Nevertheless, she managed to win the 1997 AWC National Specialty Triathion (at age 7), as well as the Specialty Altered Competition. She hopes to grace the Open obedience ring in ‘98. Meanwhile, she continues to rule our hearts and home.
