A'Blazn started back in 1996, then we where just getting our feet wet in the conformation rings.
​In 1996 is when we had gotten our first show dog, an amazing Australian Shepherd "Winston", who is now at the rainbow bridge as of December 2005.

From 1996 to present 
​In 1996 Winston (Multi BOB U-CH.Awesomes Simon Sez) came to us from
breeder Gene Renyolds (Awesome Aussies), with the help of the Standrige family. Vicky Standrige has worked with me several times a week with Winston showing, and help me show him to his full potential.

​After a year of working with Winston, I became more impressed with his intelligence and work abilities and was hooked.

​From 1996-2005 Winston was trained (soley by me) in conformation, obedience ( both verbal and hand signals), sled pulling, weight pull, agility, and many many tricks and best of all my best buddy.
Winston was everything a aussie should be he had it all (he could work all day, did every thing I asked of him, correct structure and movement the best I've seen in a aussie, he had brains and could do it all).
​Since Winston's passing I have not see a aussie that could move like him nor have I owned a aussie as close to what the breed should be since him.
December of 2005 Winston lost a short fight with cancer.
