Ch FaerieTale Curig Bentley HS

Fearless, loving and infinitely entertaining, Bentley has been shown sparingly, but did achieve his Canadian Championship in short order. He does, however, prefer his role as a farm dog which involves, for him, chasing cats and coyotes, playing with whoever’s handy (regardless of species) and, on one occasion, leaping from the garage roof. That he survived that escapade without injury speaks volumes of his strength and substance as well as his can-do attitude.

Despite his laid-back demeanour at home, Bentley is a dynamo in the herding pen. He started training in October, 2002, and took to it like a duck to water (so to speak).

We were thrilled when Bentley achieved qualifying runs in both of his Pre-Trial Herding Tests at the US National Specialty trials in September 03, giving him his first AKC title! In 2004, he earned his AHBA Junior Herding Dog title.

Best of all, however, was when he became the FIRST Pembroke Welsh Corgi to earn a HERDING STARTED title in Canada!!!!

While Bentley usually distains the showring as a rather boring place, he found the applause offered to him as a Veteran at the 2008 Canadian National and Ontario/Quebec Section specialties totally inspiring, and he showed his way to Best in Veteran Sweepstakes at both shows under breeder/judges Karen Gunzel and Cam Thorne, and capped that with an Award of Merit from Australian breeder/judge, Joan Hutton.

We are very proud to have this boy proving the old adage that “pretty is as pretty does”!
