Cinder
Am. CH Montage Too Hot To Handle HT "Cinder"  is owned Beverly Malzahn of Stafford VA. Cinder is engaging, lively, outgoing, and exceedingly smart. Beverly tells her which child to wake up in the morning and she never makes a mistake. Cinder has exceptionally lovely breed type as well as very sound structure and absolutely breathtaking movement. At age two, I borrowed her and took her to a 5 day show cluster where she earned her championship with 5 majors in a row, including BOBs over specials! I had hoped to breed her but she was spayed due to a pyometra infection. Cinder has dabbled in herding and agility, and she enjoys traveling with her family in their motorhome.

Montage Hot Apple Pie "Angie"  broke her leg as a baby by climbing out of an xpen and falling into our fish pond. After her convalescence, it was a long time before we found her right home. In the meanwhile, she became a sheep herding addict and water retrieving beach bum on the Long Island shores. She finally went to live with Maura and Carole Hogan in Syracuse and soon became Carole's very devoted companion and helper. She still enjoys swimming and retrieving in the Adirondacks and at the family's lake house. Angie

Toddy
Montage Hot Buttered Rum "Toddy"  belongs to Dick Knapp in Syracuse NY. Toddy is a sweet, friendly, fluffy little "sunflower." He loves everybody and everything. He is pointed in AKC, but was neutered before completing his championship because of his small size. Toddy is a much loved companion and enjoys frequent trips to his family's lake house.

Montage Hot Rocks "Roxy"   is owned by Kevin Richardson of Plattsburgh NY. Kevin is a child and family counselor, certified for wilderness leadership. He and Roxy spent years taking groups of children backpacking and climbing in the Adirondack mountains in both summer and winter. In her youth, Roxy was very athletic and fit. She has been a fabulous therapy dog, confident and outgoing, with great responsiveness to the children she works with. It has been wonderful to see her following in the pawprints of her grandpa George and mother Ava who both worked as therapy dogs. Roxy

KC
Montage Red Hot Quesadilla TDX, HSAs, HRDI "KC"  was owned, trained and handled by Sharon Johnson in NE. She was a really special dog with beauty, brains and versatility. KC was the first of the Hot pups to earn a performance title. She was a very talented herding dog, with exceptional balance and a sensible attitude toward stock. Unfortunately, she developed immune mediated arthritis and had to stop herding but she continued to enjoy her other sport of tracking with Sharon and was working toward her Tracking Championship. At age nine, KC suddenly became ill from stomach ulcer complications while on prednisone, with resulting aspiration pneumonia, and she had to leave us. We miss her dearly.

Montage Hot Stuff HSAs CGC "Sizzle"  was owned by the late Frank Tipping Jr. and remained with his wife Rickey Marks in Piermont NY until she passed on at age 12. Like her dam, Sizzle was a very keen herding dog with wonderful balance and lots of drive and power on stock. She earned her Herding Started A-Course Sheep title in just 3 trials, with no practice on an A-course or obstacles, including a 4th place win and tie for 5th out of a class of 23 entries. In her senior years she enjoyed herding ducks and she was very active and happy right up until her last few weeks. If there are ducks at the Rainbow Bridge, Sizzle is in charge. Sizzle

Tango
Montage Hot Tango Dancer "Tango"  was the beloved companion of Susan and David Fetcho in Oakland CA, for 12 1/2 years. Tango was small and ultra feminine, with a silvery fawn coat. Her tiny little tight-set ears can still be seen in Pedigree magazine ads. When strolling with her humans, "Her Most Serene Mini-Majesty" observed the world with enormous calm and dignity. But, when the play switch was on, Tango turned into "The Pocket Rocket" ! She had amazing speed and stamina, and she was an intense ball-retriever. David used to say, Tango could snag a fly ball with an over-the-shoulder wide receiver's grab that made Jerry Rice look like a rookie. She played ball at full-throttle right up until her last week. She lived a joyful life!
