MACH Alt-CH ATCH OTCH McMatt’s Liberty Belle UD RAE "Libby"
Diane Bettis founding member of the Gateway ASC, past president and now board member is the owner/handler/trainer of her black tri Aussie: MACH Alt-CH ATCH OTCH McMatt’s Liberty Belle UD RAE.
Diane took Libby home from breeder Flo and Rebecca McDaniel's McMatt Aussies when she was a mere 7 weeks old and from there it was onward and upward. Libby grew into a beautiful little tri girl that was not to be outdone by anyone. She quickly found her way into Diane and Mark Bettis' hearts and started her training with ease. Libby is trained not only in obedience and agility, but she is a certified Support Dog and has visited Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital bringing joy and happiness to sick kids in abundance. Libby's performance was always 'steady and consistent', she is not the type of dog to have a lot of fanfare or whistles, she just does her job quietly and with ease qualifying most all of the times she performs. She's Diane's constant companion along with her house buddies, Slick, Tory and Ryan she gathers the metal bowls off of the floor after each meal to help clean up. So what's next for this little tri of a girl, she's working on her UDX in AKC next and who knows, she will be semi-retired from agility but I suspect will be there for practices just to have a little fun... Libby, Becky and I are so very proud of the wonderful companion you've been for Diane and Mark and all the consistent love and willingness to learn, we have very much enjoyed watching you and Diane attain all the accolades. Thank You Diane and Libby and we look forward to seeing what's next in store for you. - Flo and Becky McDaniel, McMatt Aussies.
