Sophie is the result of 10 years of begging on Mark's part. He wanted a beagle, and I thought it would be too noisy. Although I hate to admit it, Mark was right. Sophie's been a tremendous addition to the family, and I can't say enough good about her. Many of our friends have also been won over by Sophie and have changed their opinion of beagles. Mark has been doing Sophie's obedience work, and she's close to ring ready. They entered Rally to help both of them with first time jitters, and easily earned a title. Her next step is a Canadian CD. I've been training her in agility, and regularly feel sorry for her having to deal with my limitations. Once the weave poles are solid, we'll be thinking about trialing. She is incredibly smart, quiet and nothing is a better lap warmer than a beagle. She adores Emily, and as you can see in pictures above, frequently uses her as a bed. Thanks to Cherry Creek Beagles for this wonderful girl!
