We miss our
" Party Guy "
He was taken
from us far too
soon by :
invasive
testicular cancer
( sertoli cell )
Arby's temperament was wonderful.
He was always happy and had never
met a person he did not adore !
Not really a breed type temperament,
but he was a fun & social character !
Always remembered as our Party Guy
because, no matter what the time ,
occasion or who the company was,
he was ready to have a good time !!
Arby began his show career
at 13 months and had two
Championships by 17 months
( without using pro-handlers ).
Nathan finished Arby's ASCA
Championship and in the
same year ( 94 / 95 standings )
had him ranked as the # 15
Aussie. In 1995 ( as a special )
Arby was only shown a few
weekends . . . but was # 9 by
the Dec. 27 standings.
ARBY
( at 18 months )
With
Nathan
What a team . . !!
They had many
wins together . .
Arby's movement
was clean . . . . he
converged in the
front & the rear ~
and was very pretty
on the side ( gait ).
His topline was solid
and he had great
neck & shoulders.
His head was clean
( no drooping lips
or wet mouth ) ~
with full dentition.

This is Arby at 18 months
of age . . . . passing his
herding instinct evaluation
with flying colors .
He loved to sneak out in
the pasture behind our
house and help gather up
cows every so often.
Oh, yes . . .
Arby had fun
with his herding
abilities, too . . !!

And all 3 of his children
