MACH Carpe Diem Aristotle

ARES

Ares is the first Maltese to earn a MACH title and is currently at MACH2.

Carpe Diem Aristotle was born on September 20, 2000. He was quickly getting out of his whelping box, climbing up chairs and scampering all over the house. He started attending agility trials with my first Maltese, Xena, at 8 weeks old and loved the game. His formal training started at 7 months when he replaced his mother in her basic agility class when she came into heat. From the start he ran to the end of the teeter and across the Dog Walk and loved the jumping drills. We started trialing when he was 18 months and he held AKC, NADAC and CPE titles by the end of that year. It soon became evident that we needed training at a much higher level to achieve a MACH and were fortunate to start classes with Kathie Leggett in North Highlands California. He earned the chance to compete at AKC Nationals in 2005 finishing 17th in the 8 inch division. On July 22, 2005, in Houston, Texas, Ares became the first Maltese to earn the MACH title. The fact that he is also a bred-by dog makes it all the sweeter for me. He is currently finishing MACH2, CDX and Rally titles and has started competing in USDAA. Ares loves training and competing, but he also enjoys the training for all venues. He rules the house; keeping his new agility buddy Spyke, a JRT, in line and is a wonderful lap dog.

Ares is owned and loved by Jenny Cuccinello, 6030 Jeremy Ct., Carmichael, CA 95608. If you would like to contact her, the email address is Machmaltese@aol.com.
