Lyra is from the Remi/Mysti litter of 2023. She is an extremely versatile sports dog, who excels in every sports venue she's competed in. She is extremely biddable with an affectionate temperament, high drive, and an eagerness to work and please. She is co-owned with Caroline Coyle of Atlanta, GA, who has big plans for her performance career.

At two years old, she has earned sports titles in Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Barn Hunt, Fast CAT, CAT, Dock Diving, Agility, and Obedience, as well as completed her conformation Championship and Grand Championship with all 5-point majors. In the conformation ring, she was exclusively owner-handled by Caroline, who had not shown in conformation prior to Lyra.

Lyra is quickly advancing in agility and has already earned her NA and NAJ titles, and looks forward to continuing her sports career in a variety of agility venues. We have big aspirations for her and look forward to seeing her progress.

Basil, Dynasty's Premium Batch CDX BN RE FDC CA BCAT CGC TKN, is a sweet boy from the Nova/Kash litter born in 2019. I love training this boy as he always wants to please. He is such a thinker and loves training in obedience and rally. Basil has achieved 2 High in Trials and has been invited and competed in national events. In 2024, he competed in the AKC Rally National Championship and placed 7th in the Advance Class. Also in 2024, he competed in the AKC Obedience Classic in Orlando in the Open Class, where he was in the top 10 the first day and finished with a 13th overall. Basil has been invited again to the 2025 AKC Rally National Championship, but we will not be competing this year at that venue as we pursue gaining his Obedience Utility title and Rally Master title.

Basil is not only smart, but also possesses the working characteristics the breed was bred for as he easily obtained his herding instinct and farm dog certificates. He also loves FAST Cat and coursing, although his owner says there are only so many sports we can pursue, so obedience and rally is it for now!

Basil loves all humans and dogs and is such a joy for our family. Thank you Dynasty!

Dynasty's Arrow Dynamic, PT, FDC, OA, OAJ, NF, CAX, FCAT4, RATN, DM, CGC, TKP, ATT is from the Tanzi and Levi litter from June 2022. He has really started to tap into his drive in teenagerhood and is enjoying many different dog sports! He found a love for dock diving with the warmer weather and earned his DJ earlier in the year, then finished off the season with a DS title and a personal best jump of 19'9 feet - big hops courtesy of Grandpa Remi! He celebrated the week of his first birthday in June by earning his Herding Instinct Certification, Farm Dog Certification, and passing the AKC Temperament Test all in one day. We started running Fast CAT recently and he has his FCAT and CAA, he gets quicker every event and is starting to stack up personal bests. Another one of his absolute favorite games to play is UpDog, the disc sport! We are doing weekly agility classes, and he amazes me with how quickly he learns new skills, he is almost ready to trial at an intro level. He's incredibly smart and creative and I'm hoping to add a Performer level trick dog title on top of his TKN, TKI, and TKA before the end of this year. I am excited to see what we can accomplish in the 2024 season as he matures!

Dynasty's Show Me The Honey CA FCAT2 RATO DM DS CGCA TKI ATT VHMA VSWB FITS, Tupelo

I sought out an MAS with the primary goal of learning to show dogs, lifelong dream of mine that I was finally ready to realize in middle age. I already owned an Aussie that I compete in a variety of sports with, so I asked to be matched with a conformation prospect who also had drive for sports. My hope was that I could potentially put titles at both ends of my future dog and enjoy "doing all the things". After a couple months of patiently waiting (and Facebook stalking litter announcements), I was told that a puppy was ready for me. I named my little tri boy Tupelo, after the honey (and my favorite Van Morrison song). His name turned out to fit him well, because he is sweetness personified. We started training on day one and he has absorbed everything like a little sponge. He was THE star puppy in his AKC Star Puppy class and has been handling his handling classes like a pro. He's almost ready to take his CGC test and we will be starting barn hunt classes next week and rally this spring. He did his first "bunny hop" Fast CAT this winter and loved it, and I'm currently looking in to herding lessons locally. It doesn't matter what we do, he's happy to be doing it together. He's just a happy little guy all around. I joke that his theme song would be "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie because that's how he seems to feel about life. As far as he's concerned there are two kinds of people in the world: his best friends, and his future best friends. He's super gentle with children and the elderly and loves to snuggle anyone who will allow it. We entered our first BPUP show in November, and he took a herding group 1 his first day out. Since then, we've shown at Royal Canin and Brooksville and he's handled himself well in crowded venues. I'm excited to see how he does with some maturity under his belt (and once his handler -me- has some more experience under hers). I couldn't be more pleased with my puppy and am looking forward to many years of "doing all the things" together.

OneWorld Canine Obstacle Run hosted in Anniston, Alabama is a 4.4-mile event with over 40 obstacles for the handler and dog to complete. This year, we had a team of three Dynasty dogs, brothers Dynasty's Arrow Dynamic PT FDC OA OAJ NF CAX FCAT4 RATN DM CGC TKP ATT "Arrow" and Dynasty's Show Me The Honey CA FCAT2 RATO DM DS CGCA TKI ATT VHMA VSWB FITS "Tupelo" from the Levi/Tanzi litter and their aunt CH Dynasty's Next Episode RN FDC BCAT CGCA CGCU TKI FITS "Remix" from the Remi/Mysti litter.

Their handlers were Katie Ball, Cate Johnson, and Nicole Hargrave. Dynasty Minis is so proud of all the hard work and effort these teams put into completing the course. This event is hosted twice a year. We hope to see more Dynasty dogs out there.

Enjoy the photos!

Our three dogs are not only beautiful pets, but love performance sports. In fact, all three of them beg every day to train.

Dynasty's Fire in the Hole CD BN RE OA OF NAJ CA BCAT ACT2 CGC TKN "Ryker" (Bootsie X Blaze) is six years old. His top love is Agility, which he currently is competing in however, he has competed in Obedience, Rally, Trick Dog and Coursing. In Rally, he was invited to the AKC National Rally Championship and has almost completed his Rally Master title. In Obedience, Ryker easily earned his Novice and Beginner titles with several first placements. Ryker is trained through Obedience Open level, but currently is focusing all his show time on agility.

Dynasty's Premium Batch CD BN RE CA BCAT CGC TKN HIT (herding instinct tested) "Basil" (Nova X Kash) is four years old. Basil loves Herding and Coursing, but his current focus is the Obedience ring. He finished his Obedience Novice title with two High in Trials with near perfect scores. He currently is competing in Open, where he has one leg towards the title and achieved this with a very respectable score of 194½. Basil earned many placements when competing for his Rally titles.

Dynasty's History of Magic "Booker" (Maisel X Halen) is almost two years old and has been taking obedience and agility classes from a young age. He has high drive and will start competing in Coursing in 2024 and hopefully will make his Agility debut also in 2024.

Maisie

Dynasty's Truly Amazing, BN, CD, CDX, UD, CGC, CGCA, CGCU "Maisie" (Kizzy x Desi) has lived up to her name! These titles were all accomplished before Maisie turned three years old. I am especially proud of her UD title. I know handlers who have given up after showing dozens of times trying to get a UD. I had a judge who told me he had shown over a hundred times and still didn't have his dog's UD. We achieved her UD in seven tries.

I love this dog beyond reason, and she is so smart.
