Tobi's Snowdrop Marquardt CD, AGI, CGN, Certified Therapy Dog
"TOBI"
|
Tobi is a daughter of Cheyenne and Tobby and
is named after her father.
Tobi came by her registered name in a very
unique way. It was February 2, 2000 and
Cheyenne had been having puppies all evening.
It was about midnight and she had 11 puppies.
I was sure she was finished and took her outside
for a quick walk. Imagine my surprise when she
stopped and out came puppy number 12. I
grabbed the wee puppy and Cheyenne and ran
back into the house where mom took over and
the puppy was soon cleaned up and busily
nursing. I noticed that it was a little girl and that
she had a white front paw. Tobi's Snowdrop did
just that, dropped on that cold winter snow!! Her
rather rude landing on the cold snow has never
hindered her and of course I had to keep her
after that!! She is also known for her hilarious
poses - see below!!
Tobi has excelled at everything we have tried. If anything I would say that I am often the one
that needs convincing.
We obtained our CD with class placements and are now training for CDX. Tobi obtained her
second level agility title with first place wins. In addition Tobi also achieved her Canine Good
Citizen test and has passed her St. John's Ambulance Therapy Dog Test.

grandpuppies that are working in the field, in conformation, agility and obedience.
