"Boxcar Billy" traveled out to the east coast as a puppy, to live with Susan.  He handily completed his Championship despite his abounding energy and exuberance in the ring.  He garnered most of his points from the puppy classes.  Always showing endless performance potential, he found the perfect opportunity when he moved to Ohio, to become part of a dynamic Agility team with Tim.  In their spare time, "Billy" and Tim are working in the field.  By "Billy" obtaining his MACH1 title, it made him the first EC that has a Champion, MACH AND hunting title!!!!!!

Here is what Tim wrote about "Billy" after he finished his MACH1 title.

"Before I met "Billy", five years ago, I never knew what an English Cocker was until Susan Cascio and Amy Kluth gave me an awesome dog.  I got "Billy" at the age of two, and with great trainers and a lot of work, we did our best to represent our breed against a lot of competition in our area.  We had some awesome runs and some horrible runs, but I knew I had a special dog and with "Billy".  He had to learn the game to beat the game.  Versatility, in an English Cocker, is a special thing to see and "Billy" has set a new standard.  His drive and determination has led him to be the FIRST English Cocker to obtain a Breed Championship, MACH, and a hunting title.  It is a great honor and privilege to have a dog like "Billy" and I know, in my heart, that he is not only my dog, but my little buddy."
