Hickup is a prime example of the all-around dog I'm striving for here.  He's a second generation Slydrock dog on his sire's side and a third generation Slydrock dog on his dam's side.  He is a beautiful, spectacular athlete who has excelled in the conformation and agility rings.  He loves toys and water and will play all day long, but is the best house dog at the end of the day, too.  Hickup is pretty much retired from agility now, but we're starting some formal obedience training and hope to debut some time in 2006!  He does still get to play agility, though, and has become the official rent-a-dog for beginners learning to handle in my agility classes.  He is my constant companion and best buddy!
